Pikapika200 wrote: how is Momere canon trans????????????????????????????????????????? ? The entire character is a transphobic caricature based on okama stereotypes, similar to Leva and Karasu Tengu. She's a gag character, but the joke is on her, and the audience is supposed to laugh about her/find her weird :/

In Leva's case, they went for a homophobic angle on top of that, as well as killing him and Gula off (unusually harsh for the season). In Momere's case, she was actually gendered correctly ("Madame"/"she"/feminine self pronouns), unlike some of the others, so she is basically a transgender character, but a harmful depiction of it on top of being a gag char.

And let's stop derailing this thread now.
