^ Yeah I'm sure they didn't mean any harm, in fact I believe they definitely intended to do good with it. But when you really put it into words, it makes it look terrible. The fact not many considered that was definitely cuz of the fear of people calling them all kinds of names when in reality they're both on the same team, like you seem to agree. I don't see how you thought I believed the writers intentions was genuinely to make trans people look bad if that's what you're implying cuz yeah I agree, looking for the worst intentions isn't helpful at all as you admit. I was just pointing out how it may look problematic. Just because transphobia is easy to find, doesn't mean you should assume it on everyone.
As someone with gender dysphoria, I love you Galim
Bridgette conforming into the gender that was assigned to by their parents is problematic. Not only does this peddle the forced feminization & groomer narrative but Bridgette looking & dressing as a female while being male was also a positive message about freedom to express yourself however you want no matter gender as well as a positive pro-trans message. It's a damn shame people are too afraid to discuss this stuff cuz someone people will assume it's just transphobia, way too many discussions have been shut down that way & shutting down discussions can only do harm. Your idea with the twin was a much better way to include a trans individual if they really wanted to. I'm glad you weren't afraid to have this discussion. I really just made an account just to thank you cuz it's so rare to see someone not be afraid of being called a transphobe.
