the central bit of ghost in the shell is that the major (and to a lesser extent all the non-togusa members of section nine) has made the bargain that in exchange for having an idealized body that body is the property of the government and she cannot escape being a tool of the state, which is a really interesting tension. though like, obviously still a cop even if she's trapped as such on pain of the government confiscating her entire body
Now we absolutely have to claim it as a Trans Thing, yes!! It's hard to argue against tbh.
the major is trans as hell, i love her. the transbian rep we deserve (if you ignore how much of a cop she is)
...can I critically support a cool transbian cop? acab tho.........
