So her phone case has the same color scheme as his bag strap and that made them happy? No text is right, there is also no context. I guess the artist tagged it as transgender? Wouldn't be able to tell which one is.

^Why yes, I am. After further contemplation I came to the conclusion that perhaps those colors identify someone as transgender? I have never seen or heard of that before, so cut me some slack.

^Well, it is still a rather rare sight. Remembered it thanks to the tag being there myself, but not sure I would have otherwise.

Too cute for words nonetheless.

@BugDevil Those indeed are the colors of the official transgender flag, which you would know through a quick google search.

Furthermore, the cat ears do actually mean something. Trans women in certain online communities apparently got kinda memetically attached to the cat girl persona, seeing how many transgirls relates to the idea of it (apparently, the transmen counterpart are dog boys).

You learn something new every day. Also, wouldn't that qualify this also for the yuri tag?

No, it wouldn’t get the yuri tag because this a trans boy and a trans girl. If anything, the het tag would be more appropriate. Although this could easily be interpreted as just a sort of solidarity-friendship type thing.

Both have cat ears, though, so wouldn't that make them both trans girls?

@Perlen297 Can't make a google search if I didn't connect the color to the trans situation at first.
I like cat girls a lot. I guess from now on I should pay attention to the artwork involving them to see if that is indeed a trend.

Pretty sure the cat ears thing was more an "I'm like you" thing rather than an identifier of being trans boy vs. trans girl.

Also, in the panel where the cat ears come out, they really look like Rin from Love Live.

Honestly, can we quit the "I can't believe BugDevil didn't know this"? Yeah, it's common in a lot of circles yuri fans travel in, and it is kind of unexpected, but any more than one comment to that effect is more than necessary. We're well past that point.

Agree with Nezchan. And there's no Yuri or Het tag because, again, agree with Nezchan. Even if we prefer Perlen's reading of the situation, it's more of a cute and comfy situation as TheYuriTomboy said than romance. In any case, it's a really cute pic and you should feel free to read into it whatever interpretation you please!

I initially included in my comment an opinion of mine that a Yuri tag should be added, but edited it out because there wasn't really anything romantic in the comic, as said by @OrangePekoe.

Also responding to @Nezchan, the cat ears being an identifier wasn't really my point. But rather, I was only pointing out that it's a reference to a part of transgirls' online culture– that is the catgirl persona. (though I could've said it better) And with that comes the heavy implication that these are both transgirls. It's not fair to assume the short hair as a masculine trait don't you think?

Nonetheless, not that it would matter since we're not really judging whether this is a Yuri or Het. All I know is that this the same comic immediately became one of the top posts in r/wholesomeyuri.

I'm with Bug on this one. The world is a big place and it's impossible for everyone to know everything. People will have gaps in their knowledge, and I'm disappointed people would jump at someone's throat for not knowing something instead of doing the xkcd thing and being excited they can teach someone something new

I'm subscribed to r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns, and Felix Argyle from Re:Zero is beloved in that subreddit. So yeah, the cat girl is definitely a popular persona in the online trans community. Though idk why. Maybe it's an influence from anime? Or maybe because cats are adorable and affectionate.

And from there:

In the early 20th century gay men in New York City's Caucasian professional world would often wear red neckties to signal their identity.

Now that's a surprise, Mr Trump... :D

I'm with Bug and SwagWagon on this. I didnt know about this whole mutli-colour flag thing (beyond the rainbow flag) because it has nothing to do with me and is not something i've ever really come across in the small yuri circles i tend to travel in. To me the image just looked like a hidden catboy and catgirl sharing joy at finding another cat person.

The whole 'jumping down someone's throat because they're not up to woke standards' thing is not exactly helpful for the spreading of meaningful understanding. It just paints the people who respond like that and (unfortunately by extension) whatever it is that is the subject being spread as being as stupid and exclusionary as their opponents.

Doc Hoot (but are they a areal doctor or just a Ph.D.?) has my thinking on this. The cat ears here seem to be a physical expression of perking up at the recognition of a kindred spirit, rather than a specifically trans thing, even if some trans communities use it.

9gamlp01_400x400
Perlen297 Apr 24, 2019 11:18AM

^ Or both. This is Pas we're talking about– browsing through their twitter or blog really gives it away (their connection to/being part of trans communities, that is). This leads me to believe that the reference I was pointing out was their initial/primary intention. Even then, it definitely still can have different hidden meanings behind the reference (one of which is what you have just said). Nevertheless, I was just pointing out a part of their online culture that I've learned, that's all.

And oh yeah, when I asked about the genders of the characters, someone simply responded 'nyanbinary'. Take that what you will.

IMO, it's a transboy (short hair) and a transgirl (pony-tail). Because of their design.

This is so cute! I’m bi so seeing someone else with the biflag is always really exciting cause I know I can relate to them. This comic really speaks volumes with zero words. And cat ears are used in a lot of comics to show surprise or other emotions so I think that’s probably the case here.

I love how ambiguous it is, as to if it's two transmascs, two transfems, or a transmasc and a transfem, or even which one is transmasc and which one is transfem. That kind of ambiguity is great. Very gender.
