Anime Drama! and it’s one piece! my favorite!

There’s been a long-standing HEATED debate over whether Kaido’s daughter, Yamato, is trans (FtM) because she identifies as Kozuki Oden. Moreso, it’s because she wants to be like him and idolizes him. If Oden was an amorphous slime, so would she. Basically an obsession. Yamato is the character below
The trains’ arguments come from a scene where she bathed with men and a few instances where Kaido called her his son.
The chud counteroffense is that Oda, the author of One Piece, has gone on record in an SBS (little end of volume question column) saying she’s a woman, it’s in her official vivre card character profile, and her character introduction on reveal is “Kaido’s daughter” and that her identity as Oden is “self-styled”

What’s even more notable, but went under the radar was the exclusion of Kiku (MtF) who is about the best representation that trans people will ever get in popular shonen anime. No fetish, not weird or grotesque, and both a strong and somewhat reasonably developed minor character. See below
More drama on that

Good post, unfortunately by putting in the (rightfully) much-blocked and much-reviled /h/anime you caused many dramatards to never see it.
