@IrisKalmia Countercounterpoint: "This character you thought was a dude this whole time is a girl" being trans is a WIDE OPEN DOOR for identity denial and I really fucking hate that.

@Draekos You're going to run into people breaching that door open no matter how you code the character from the start. The whole game we're all playing at is reaching out for fictional rolemodels that were denied to us by a society entirely too obsessed with cis-[coding/washing] everything.

People who're cis and willing to accept any subversive shit like quietly trans characters being that should be willing to work with Samus as trans femme.

@Draekos Restricting the field you're working with to try and appease bigots is a huge waste of time and we both know that.

@Draekos @IrisKalmia trans women are women.

@Fuego @IrisKalmia yes. As one, I know.

I still have mixed feelings about trans-identifying certain characters and Samus explicitly is best as a cis woman, In my eyes.

@Draekos @Fuego I feel I'd expanded fairly well I why I feel it's kinda a lackluster take from you, but it's not one I really have the energy to carry much further forward on without tapping into ugly reserves.

@Fuego @Draekos I don't think a trans women or a medically transitioning AMAB enby have much to say against/about that point you didn't cover, yeah.
