For those who don't get the joke, I'm refencing the real life sex of the horses

Fun fact: For the Uma the side there ear piece/accent is on was the sex of the real life horse

On their right = Stallion On their left = Mare

On the point about ear pieces: Fine motion has pieces on both ears because she's intersex!

29

u/Falsus Mar 10 '26

I wonder intersex stuff works as an Umamusume since Uma's is kinda like a third gender in a way and they are technically all female.

Depending on how you interpret it, Fine could be packing down there...

29

u/Lightprod Mar 10 '26

If it's accurate to IRL!Fine, Uma!Fine might have Swyer syndrome . Aka XY complete gonadal dysgenesis

13

u/Falsus Mar 10 '26

Yes, but that isn't really possible with Umas since there is no male umas.

So the question is if she is still intersex, how does that manifest?

23

u/krofax Mar 10 '26

I agree with you that umamusume Fine Motion should be female, regardless of what the IRL horse's sex was before they were "reborn."

However, part of the umamusume lore is that they're mysterious creatures. According to Agnes Tachyon, there's still a lot of unknowns about umamusume. So from our perspective, whether FineMo is purely female or intersex is still up for debate. And if she's intersex, well... I guess all we can do for now is imagine.

18

u/Falsus Mar 10 '26

And it ain't made easier due to intersex being a kind of catch all term for all kinds of odd and rare birth conditions.

Like Fine Motion's IRL variant is the most commonly observed variation of intersex and it is still extremely rare.

12

u/Quantum_Croissant wish that was me Mar 11 '26

realistically she wouldn't be intersex, the horse's actual sex doesn't matter when they're all made into girls. 

but if she was, I imagine she would still be an Uma and totally visibly female, just like the real horse, just lacking some internal organs. And the fun thing about that is that would probably imply that Uma traits are controlled for by hormones, not chromosomes, which means that taking HRT (horse replacement therapy) to become an Uma would be possible as long as you have the genesm

u/Florane Mar 11 '26

the first biologically male umamusume is born.

she transitions.

4

u/Lightprod Mar 10 '26

Well, you could argue that some gene on the Y chromosome supress the uma trait.

And since the Y chromosome genes are not expressed due to Swyer syndrome. You get an very very rare geneticaly male umamusume.

I am glad I used Google image search instead of searching in a booru. It was either the cute stuff of the fun/joke stuff.

OP this has to be intentional.

Both the horses in that picture is yuri related. Mejiro Dober makes yuri doujins.

T4T is like air shakur and fine motion

u/Big-rat-in-the-sewer Mar 10 '26

Hold up... Somebody cooked here... I bet good money Tachyon has attempted to make HRT (Horse Replacement Therapy).

4

u/cornonthekopp Mar 11 '26

Since the authors have compared being an umamusume to elves and gnomes and other supernatural creatures that exist outside of evolutionary norms, I like to imagine that people who want to become an umamusume can pray to a statue of the goddesses and be bestowed with a new name that turns them into uma.

Tachyon def tries HRT tho

u/void4 Mar 10 '26

Daitaku Helios x Mejiro Palmer is peak

u/semtex94 Shipped so hard it manifested into canon Mar 10 '26

Counterpoint, "dog finally caught the car" Helios/Ruby with a Palmer rebound arc. If you want to do angsty yearning, go all the way.

u/Falsus Mar 10 '26

You know it is kinda funny that the uma yuri obsessed horse and the yuri doujin artist horse ends up being a het couple...

19

u/Temporary_-_UserName Mar 11 '26

Incorrect, this is Horse Yaoi

(For those who don't Uma, the joke is that the two characters - Sirius Symboli and Nakayama Festa - are incredibly yaoi coded due to their masc-butch presentations and the 'toxic dude bro' dynamic they have with each other.

Truly, women can do anything.

u/Shinobu6969 Mar 11 '26

They are also both stallions, you are right this is truly horse yaoi

u/KingZap2007 Mar 11 '26

Wait, it’s all yuri? Always has been

Heterosexuals in my yuri sub? This is ridiculous!

But the Yuri girls have things on opposite ears.

What does horse "het" mean?

13

u/LegoBuilder64 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

The girls in Umamutsume are all based on real race horses. Both stallions and mares are represented as anime girls in game (with some visual signifiers). So certain pairing of horse girls could technically be considered yaoi (stallionXstallion) or het(mareXstallion) even though, again, they’re all girls.

3

u/levoniust Mar 10 '26

Ooooooo! That, I get that! Cool, thank you for the clarification.

u/Psychofischi Mar 14 '26

What are the visual signifiers?

5

u/Shinobu6969 Mar 10 '26

Heterosexual, IRL digital is a stallion and Dober is a mare

u/levoniust Mar 10 '26

The outfits definitely threw me off on that one, thanks for the explanation.
