Gender story is when someone doesn't like their old name. The whole deadname thing wasn't a big deal. Gumball just got over himself because of his old name and fought it after realizing it was a name he had to move on from as it was a destructive alter ego he had to let go. There is nothing more to it.
Trans allegory is when someone gets out of their shell. Penny got out of her shell because she was tired of the fearmongering her parents kept giving her because they (and Penny herself) knew how unstable she was when it came to her shape-shifting powers, and the aforementioned fearmongering only made it a bigger deal than it probably wasn't. Again, nothing more to it. It's just a simple "be yourself" kind of thing that was handled well (one of my favorite episodes, too, honestly).
Please stop. Not everyone who wants to be who they want to be is commentary for the LGBT.
Hermaphrodite is a scientific term. There are animals and plants with it. There are humans (albeit very, very, very little) with it. It's not a slur. Leslie COULD be hermaphroditic and it would make sense in a scientific way and not in a genderspecial one. Can't these people look at things
without putting it under a queer context?
I'm this close to being MATI for how abhorrently ignorant these people are when it comes to information that takes five seconds to look at. It's like saying trap's a slur despite trap is literally saying "man who convincingly looks like a woman".
Something's only a slur if you
make it a slur. It's only hurtful if you
make it hurtful.
Unrelated but I saw this in the comments, too. I'm still upset that people are doing trans headcanons on a character who dares to not conform to being 100% masculine. Gosh, I'm telling you, these people stereotype/enforce gender roles more than any other traditional conservative could ever try to.
TRANS CHARACTER IS WHEN GENDER TRANSLATION ERROR FIX—
Y'know what, my head hurts. I'm finally "Do Not Reccomend"ing this dude's channel. I'm going to douse my head in Cola now.
