OH MY GOD YEAH!!!!!!!! (sorry to keep reblogging you i just have so many thoughts)
ngl everyone who complains about wttit sounds like this to me
like they want more transfemme rep but they cant handle a girl who isnt perfect and instantly transitions into 100% feminine and pretty the moment she realizes shes trans
like i cant believe so many people struggle to understand a character thats just a 16 year old girl because she ((god forbid)) has body hair
the author got like, an absurd amount of hate for "drawing a trans misogynistic caricature" because of it and i just find that so maddening because like, no, thats just a child. And the narrative consistently prompts the reader to view her with empathy and respect
also the same people who complain about stuff like this always preach stuff along the lines of "fuck gender!! abolish the gender binary" then they go on to harass real life trans people for not fitting the gender binary and authors who write characters that arent perfectly conventionally attractive
