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.

I think I'd be able to take an argument about the diversity and complexity of human experience a little more seriously from someone who hadn't referred to transness as a psychological disorder repeatedly, on multiple posts. Is there any amount of evidence that you would accept as proof that a character is trans? Does Mizuki need to look directly at the camera and say "I am transgender, and/or non-binary" in both English and Japanese?

Good point from Blank_User, though.

    yeah apparently that's what it'll take, for some people.

    They probably also need the main characters in yuri manga to turn and shout "I AM A LESBIAN" at the audience in order to know for sure that they're lesbians, instead of, y'know, seeing a girl passionately kiss another girl and deciding it's probably a safe assumption that she's a lesbian, like a normal person would do

    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

    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.

    I'm reasonably sure this is an Uzi submachine gun because of the rare magazine in grip format (though possibly with a modified stock). I'm not confident in the identification of the pump action. I tagged it as mossberg 500 but it could very well be a different mossberg or a remmington model.
