    Love when the anime has actually good transfem representation, BUT THE CHARACTER IS TOTALLY JUST A BOY, GUYS!
    and then an anime with canon "transfem" rep is just a literal fucking man. internet-delenda-est

      I'm dead curious now for your thoughts on Senpai is an Otokonoko, please I desire to know.

      Thoughts re Magne

      I get that "the transfemme is masc" can be a really bad stereotype, and I wouldn't put that past the author, but I think Magne is kind of neat actually. I do not recall hullabaloo in-manga about her gender, she just sort of exists. Mostly outwardly masc, but long hair and she/her pronouns. I think seeing really atypical presentation respected in a fuckin Jump manga of all things is kind of neat. I can still remember the estrogenizing drag queen lady from One Piece's Impel Down arc, so yaknow. Progress?

          brow HeroAca has The Trans in it? Where?????

          but uh, Senpai Is an Otokonoko: My Crossdressing Classmate sounds like exactly the kind of standard issue low-quality gender-bender transbait I'd expect tbh. "Otokonoko" is a term I haven't heard in ages but roughly is "effeminate crossdresser" so my expectations would be through the floor. Like

          [Aoi] is bisexual and does not mind what his gender is, and still wishes to become his first love, but he worries that she will be seen as odd by associating with a cross-dresser.

          Instant dealbreaker seeing that kinda shit on the natopedia page.
