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”
Drama 
Oda recently published this color spread with a lot of the series’ most prominent women
it notably includes Yamato. This causes seethe in the twitter user

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

The anime industry probably doesn't even know they exist outside of Futa porn and the gender bender genre; they only exist to beat their peepees to

I cannot confirm because have never spoken to a Japanese reader, but have a feeling that when that character in fire punch revealed she felt like a man inside, no one in Japan took it like a serious coming out and more like weird thing #463892 in that series

There's def a few "woke" JP manga authors, what comes to mind is the Vineland Saga guy having constant sneedposts about how he hates masculinity and inserting modern day progressive values into his manga about viking conquest. Also there was some guy who made a smut manga about gravure idols getting r*ped that turned into a shitty Baki knockoff who had his "own" come to woke Jesus moment which culminated in his manga getting canceled.
Exceptions that prove the rule really

The Hagure Idol guy had a kid, I think? Redman Princess and the Hagure Idol side story about getting fricked by a dolphin were pretty edgy tbh.

Maybe that's why it's so unreadable.

Vinland Saga is such a huge disappointment. Fricking redditor author.

I know a few Japanese fans. They don't know wtf a trans is. They said they would use the pronouns if asked nicely, but they'll use thwir first guess. "If you sound and look like a guy, I'm going to think you are a guy."
