What this all means is simple
Transgender is in the "LGBT+" rainbow, but the rainbow isn't transgender.
The fact there are people arguing that everyone who's sexual divergent from the binary is "Trams" is a gross oversimplification, and frankly the murmuring I've been hearing is the Gay/Lesbian, bi, inter, pan and nons all really want to distance themselves from Trans advocates since those people *Only* make it about themselves.

Also I can very safely tell you that this is not true. I'm literally trans AND a lesbian. I swim almost exclusively in trans social circles and I've never seen any trans person who doesn't also care about the interests of other queer people and other minorities. There *are* some fringe groups of activists who are intent on excluding trans people but these groups are not by any means representative of queer people generally

    Does Mizuki need to look directly at the camera and say "I am transgender, and/or non-binary" in both English and Japanese?

    Taking into account that Bridget from Guilty Gear pretty much did that and some folks still are trying to say that is not canon, I would have to think that even that wouldn't be enough for some people.

    Though in regards to Bridget, it seems to be more that the whole thing was handled very clumsily with a blatant retcon that went against all established lore leading to some rather unfortunate implications.

    It wasn't a retcon

    you think this is bad?
    trust me, Sensei.
    it getting worse

    Okay, my new headcanon for this series is that, by whatever means, Sensei was cursed to die at the hands of one of Kivotos' students (either any student or a specific one) and the curse is fulfilling itself in an extremely roundabout way. It'd certainly explain why he's so impossibly dense.

    As an aside, does anyone know if Jazz has made fanart of an ensemble-cast work and not turned it into "Oops! All yanderes!"?

    Pretty sure she is an original character.

    Yeah, it's the humanization of the artist's self-insert (i.e. the pink rabbit). In the artist commentary above, she's called Geheko, because of how she laughs "gehe gehe". However I'm not sure if that's the characters actual name or not, since I wasn't able to find the artist using it anywhere else, so it could be just a nickname that artist is using for now until they choose their actual name.
