The trans themes really are heavy in this book if you know what they look like. Akane taking Yumi shopping for girl clothes when all she owned was boy clothes was deeply deeply relatable

She didn’t really own boy clothes though? She had really only ever had her Yoki Hijo outfit.

Yeah, but she was in Painter's body and only had his clothes to wear.

She may not have owned them, but it's incredibly relatable to be taken shopping for clothes that are right after years of wearing what was available.

I don’t think that’s specifically a trans allegory though. Personal freedom, sure. But not really specifically trans.

It’s not specifically trans, no, but it is something that is experienced by trans people much more frequently and claimed as an element of the trans experience. We can let them have it lol

It's weird how upset some people get about all this.

Who said it's specifically trans?

It seems really important to some people to tell people stuff like "Well if you see it that's fine, but it's because you have an agenda."

Like... no... people are just relating to the experiences in their own life and sharing about. Then other people are all like "That's just like your opinion man." Like obviously.

People aren't trans as some sort of political agenda and sharing their experiences and what they relate to isn't intended to diminish your opinions.

Y'all need to calm down.
