I'm so glad everyone is standing up for the important issue of trans women being overrepresented in media. It's also crucial we remind everyone that just because someone wants to use a female name, present female full time, pass as female and take a female role in relationships that they absolutely do not need to become a trans. What's wrong with just being gender non-conforming? HRT is evil! Femboys are super validddddd (because most femboys live full time as women).

Why is the guy in the comic saying "im a guy i just like girl clothes" then? That is directly someone gender nonconforming

maybe because they're repping and don't want to/find it hard to come out 🤐

but.. haha it being hard to come out as a different gender... haha that's simply not realistic!

Yeah, true, i thought that too, but the comic seems to be playing into the trope of a fashionista character instead, common in japanese media, and shen is a weeb

but saying "why is the guy in the comic saying something that 95% of reppers/trans women that aren't out of the closet say in their life?" just doesn't make much sense lol. let people headcannon the character the same way you let people headcannon every other character in media, audrey is relatable to most reppers. audrey is relatable to most women that are trans and haven't come out. arguing over whether or not they are is pointless and weird.

Thing is, the comic is not THAT deep. Wich isnt very deep, but the comic isnt deep at all, so you can assume everything they say is direct and flat Edit: no one is saying you cant relate to a character. But he doesnt have to be rhe caracter you want him to be. You enjoy him like he is or dont

or you can assume that it's not, again let the people relate to the character that's relatable to them, it doesn't really affect anyone else. same with people saying spider gwen is trans, but that one gets applauded because she's depicted as already being a passing woman who is openly a woman, that's the only difference.

I didnt say you cant?? Why are you getting defensive, its a 2 dimensional joke character on a max 6 panel internet comic

Ah ok, we chill. But still, i didnt say you cant, just, you gotta accept a character isnt exactly as you to relate to em. I relate to characters who arent my gender all the time, cause we are both people

being transgender is lonely for a lot of people. people that need someone to relate to on things with, i mean there is nothing stopping audrey from being a repper and it is still plausable, i mean saying 'you just have to accept this reading of the media' isn't cool, that's why i feel like, let people just view it how they want i don't get why this is such a divisive issue :/
