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

    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.

    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.

    Agreed

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