It wasn't that long after Megatron and those who joined him in the rebellion had been banished by the newly christened Optimus Prime. Everyone was still getting their bearings after the defeat and Megatron secluded himself for a moment to calm his transistors. The day's events played in his mind at a rapid pace, all the decisions he made whirling about in his head. But all the while his once best friend's visage lingered on. And he remembered a conversation he once had... a time when, everything seemed so much more simply. A time he replayed every few minutes. A time he wished he could have back. And a time he knew he could never have again.""And if I so happen to fall, I hope you're right there to catch me."Such words echoed in his head and his spark. Such words held so much meaning and yet were completely meaningless now. Such words... had no place in the new world he was creating."Delete." he breathed, watching as the recording fizzled about for a time before sparking out of existence forever.

    Kind of weird to even think about Fencers flying high enough to utilize swept-back configuration. Given the amount of effort it requires to maintain one I wouldn't be surprised if Ukrainians have permanently affixed them spread-out

    Medea : Are you my master?
    *Proceeds to die for Lancer*

    If you look closely, Shirou has no dried blood stains on his uniform, meaning he may not have summoned Medea after having been stabbed by a spandex bodysuit wearing Irish hero.

    Though it still seems to be an accidental summoning.

    Unless it's actually stated, they are not "Canonically" Trans. They can be all sorts of things, like actually Non-binary or a crossdresser, or even simply gay.
    And here comes the downvote spam. I wonder if I'll beat my old record of -23.

    Generally, cis boys don't respond to being outed/misgendered so... intensely. Do you have an explanation for how they react in Mizu5?

    This is like saying "bacon isn't meat, it's pork".

    All "trans" means is not identifying as one's birth gender. As nobody is assigned a nonbinary identity at birth, nonbinary is effectively a subset of trans.

    Their gender is, by definition, what they identify as. It's their birth sex that doesn't match. And the existence of intersex people proves not everyone is born as part of the binary, though they will often get treated as a boy or girl based on the parents' convenience.

    Also, while it may be technically true that being non-binary would fit the definition of being trans for most people, not everyone in the non-binary community classifies themselves as trans, most likely because of the nuances among those communities. An agender person (who might not even consider themselves nonbinary) would have different thoughts, needs, and priorities from someone desiring a sex change, for example. Classifying gender identity is much more complicated than classifying meat.

    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
