    That’s how I feel, but I don’t think it takes away from people who see the situation as similar to being trans.

    And also, just in general, it’s so easy to treat trans people with respect. It’s very easy, and if you do make a mistake on their pronouns or accidentally deadname someone, I’ve never ever had them take it offensively, just apologize and we move on.

      I was speaking more about the intention of the writers at the time they made the character. Seeing it as an allegory for being trans is still 100% valid despite it probably not being the intentions of the writers.

      I edited my comment to make that more clear.

      Agreed

        I think I read that the way you intended with your clarification, and it makes sense and I agree with you
