the worst part about being accused of favoring men when u talk about ur current favorite blorbo is that while the book refers to her as he/him and a man, you can also objectively point at the mspec lesbian being called she/her and a woman, and the author stating that the book is about gender, and the setting not being overly friendly to trans characters (but they're present despite it), and that it's absolutely fair to view this character as a trans woman or transfemme nonbinary.

i know no one else in the fandom does. i know this fandom is full of yaoi favoritism, as usual. the character's popularity is because people prefer to read her as a feminine cis man. but hear me out: estrogen would have saved her.
