Chihiro Fujisaki from Danganronpa is intersex and a trans man!

You came on to a post disagreeing with you only to have the laziest argument ever
1 If you mean in the transmasc HC usually people imagine it as like -> Born a female or close to female, transitions to male, gets bullied because he's feminine and can't fully pass, decides to detransition. Hell maybe he was AMAB and he was reassigned to AFAB during puberty because he was displaying an estrogenic puberty. Maybe that's why he got bullied for being feminine. I feel like you didn't actually talk to someone who thinks Chihiro is transmasc I feel like you just made up a bunch of points that you THINK people who HC Chihiro as transmasc have
2 ??? People can go back into the closet??
3 INTERSEX!!!!!! Intersex people can have a penis and have an estrogenic puberty
4 ???? Yes Monokuma lies but that doesn't necessarily mean he lied about Chihiro? Nor does Monokuma lie about everything. In the game itself Chihiro is shown to be uncomfortable with more feminine gifts which I mean obviously isn't like super solid evidence but with everything else it would make sense that he doesn't want to be a woman and/or feminine?
You severely misunderstand the character of Chihiro by implying she’s a trans man/intersex. Chihiro is based on transmisogynistic stereotypes of trans women. In game Chihiro actually does like the feminine gifts specifically one of her loves is the cherry blossom bouquet. Also interacting with her she displays traits of trans women (usually egg/pre estrogen/progesterone) such as her being uncomfortable when the discussion of the pool on the second floor and her worries of not being strong enough. Mondo murdering was a hate crime (not saying trans men don’t experience hate crimes but still). Also in Ultra Despair Girls when Taichi Fujisaki (Chihiro’s dad) is dying he gives Komaru a picture of him and Chihiro which he refers to Chihiro as his child. Toko who is Genocide Jill at that time should have corrected Komaru who refers to Chihiro as a “cute girl” since Toko had been Genocide Jill when it was discovered that Chihiro was born with a penis. If actually played the games or even did a minor amount of research you would know these things
I did play the games? And these don't disprove anything? Yes Chihiro is based on a transmisogynistic trope, doesn't stop people from headcanoning them as transmasc. And admittedly I did forget about the cherry blossom bouquet. Body discomfort is also a thing transmasc people go through so this also isn't transfem exclusive and doesn't disprove the transmasc hc. Not sure what it being a hate crime has to do with anything. Child is gender neutral so again this doesn't prove anything also I forget if Taichi got in contact with any of the survivors post game (I don't think so but I'm a little rusty w/ udg) but he also could just be saying child because he doesn't know if the people he's talking too know Chihiros a guy (which he would be if were talking abt the transmasc HC). The genocider Jill thing also doesn't prove anything? Toko viewing Chihiro as a woman doesn't prove anything but that toko views Chihiro as a woman (or that Jill just yk didn't bother to correct Komaru). I have played the games, and generally even if you think transfem Chihiro is canon it's weird and rude to go under a post where you KNOW it's an opinion you don't have just to trash it for no reason other than to be an asshole. Transmasc Chihiro even if you don't like it isnt hurting anyone and I think again it's rude to trash a headcanon under a post about that headcanon.
I’m not trashing on your headcanon but it’s inherently wrong when you misinterpret features of a story about a trans woman and make it about a trans guy (just like the TADC fandom with Jax) if you’re so inclined to your belief that Chihiro is a trans guy then please give me evidence for your headcanon. Also the whole intersex part doesn’t make sense since the reveal is that she was born with a penis, being intersex means more than being afab with a penis it’s more complex as there’s many types and ways of being intersex. This can include, externally/internal testicles, an enlarged clit which resembles but doesn’t function as a penis, breast tissue, hips that resemble either male or female hips, a voice that’s androgynous. Chihiro exhibits none of these features outside of presenting feminine and being born with male genitalia.
Not my headcanon, but you are being genuinely rude going under a post and implying that people are dumb or don't understand the story because of their headcanon, generally I feel like a lot of the people I've seen who HC Chihiro as transmasc just have a different interpretation of the media and I don't think thats necessarily misinterpretation I think again it's just a different interpretation of the character. And I know what intersex means (i am intersex) I know there are other types? And that's why it's a headcanon??? It doesn't need to be fully based in canon. I'm not sure what 'evidence' you want, besides a headcanon doesn't need evidence. And it's not the same as TDAC, Jax is a canonically trans woman made by a trans woman, Chihiro is at most a character made with transmisogynistic tropes that can be read as transfem. Those aren't similar stories. Chihiro is not a trans woman canonically. Generally from what I've seen of the transmasc intersex Chihiro HC it's from people who are transmasc and/or intersex and relate to Chihiros story and think it makes more sense to view in a transmasc intersex light, I can't 100% tell you why people headcanon it or what evidence they have but I assume most of it is from Chihiro in the story wanting to be seen as more masculine, and how they seemed to be forced into a feminine box by their peers.
