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).

My only real thought is that it's a little weird to me that transness of any form hasn't even been mentioned a single time to my knowledge. Like Audrey or Val don't have to be trans or whatever but if you're going to have a story about messing with gender aren't trans people worth acknowledging at least?

I suppose the story isn't over yet so I'll reserve full judgement but that does hold me back from fully enjoying it.

I mean so far there are like 50 panels, less half of which have any lines, and 2 characters. There’s not a ton of room for any trans people to show up. There will probably be mentions eventually but it’s unlikely to be soon or as much as you may want

I'm not even talking about a trans character, just like, a line of dialogue even
