They freak out for everything that has something to do with gender, and go to lengthy explanations. Well, I am not saying you guys are like that, but from what I have observed from other comments, some people just literally and immediately bring on the hate because we don't agree with them.

That's because we are desperate.

Understand that anime and manga in general is a, quite frankly, terrible medium for transgender folk to exist. Look at Grell from Kuroshitsuji, or Hana from Tokyo Godfathers. Japan in general treats their trans folk horridly, and it's only to be expected that it's reflected in their media. When we see something that even has a HINT of positive trans representation, we do flip out. We DO freak out, because we want it to desperately be true. We want it to be real and we want to be a part of that community that, for once, is on the side of the protagonist. I'm not saying there will be a manga with a trans/nonbinary protag anytime soon, I'm just saying I feel like we should also be allowed to voice our concerns on this matter- which the mods have allowed us to to do, gratefully. I'm sure in other wikias, this conversation wouldn't even exist. I am grateful for being able to voice my opinion, and I feel like it's only self-explanatory to...how to say it- explain our side of the situation. This doesn't have to be a big deal, no, but sometimes we need to really push to see the representation we want in our interests.
