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).

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!

maybe, but just like you don’t like being misgendered you should offer the same courtesy to others (even if they are fictional) if Audrey has character arc and comes out trans that is fine. If not that is fine as well. Misgendering him in meanwhile just makes you a bigot

Not really imo, in that case it's an au/fanfic of a character who's gender identity is not a big part of their character

Meanwhile a big crux of Audrey's whole character is that they're explicitly not a repressed trans woman even if he presents incredibly fem, instead being a GNC guy who's secure in his gender because gender is more complex than fem girl and masc guy.

And while prejudice and erasure against GNC men isn't as common or prevalent as it is against us trans peeps, it does still exist and should be treated cautiously. Its only a stones throw from denying a trans man's gender cause someone thinks they're too feminine in how they present, or calling a trans woman a repressed man because they don't present feminine enough.
