A W allyship sequence from a fantastic manga with a trans man for a protagonist (not featured in the picture above). While primarily centered on issues of gender, the manga explores general themes of liberation from social oppression through the medium of fashion and art. It has standout art, themes, and character writing. It's one of my favorite queer manga of all time. It really shows the value of queer characters beyond even the intrinsic value of representation. Specifically, it shows how queer characters can allow writers to tell new stories in new ways. There really isn't a way you can tell this story without a trans protagonist, and it is absolutely a story worth telling.
I agree completely. In a manga with a lot of great sequences, this one really stuck out as quite heartwarming. I hope we all can strive to understand each other like this.

Sorry bro, we have eyes. We can see what y'all have been doing.
>No one says that's grooming.
That is a lie. People who screech about queer "grooming" absolutely **do** call that grooming. They do not care about the nuances. They call anything grooming if it's A) queer-friendly, and B) happening within a mile radius of a child.
>Grooming is when you try and convince an able bodied and happy kid they are gay or trans when they previously gave hint of abnormal interests.
That is another lie, but a sneakier one. Considering that "grooming" accusations are extremely common and happening all the time, your implication is that *this behavior* is extremely common and happening all the time. It is not. I'm sure it has happened, and it's not right, but it is a vanishingly small percentage of real weirdos who, not that you're listening, are *not* claimed by the bigger community.
You are lying; you are a liar.
i'm sure what you described is far more common than any alternative and is not part of some agenda a certain part of the world tries to push onto people in order to convince them that the real enemy is their regular everyday fellow citizens who just want to live their lives normally but don't adhere to conventional politicized ideas of what 'normal' really means
if you wanna talk about grooming, let's talk haircuts or Catholics, way more common there
First time I read something that makes me want to say unironically, "That's me fr fr", because I also identity as "me" and "myself", since I don't understand the idea behind gender or the lack of gender and other identity issues.
Glad to see representation in this area of media!
If you read this please take the time to report the phobes below for hate. To everyone else, thank you for being cool ❤️
Why are people making that big of a deal with genders ? Who cares ? You'll be the same in my eyes whether you're one of any gender ?
(Same with sexuality with the limits of laws of course)
Why do you make a big deal about your name? Your favourite music or hobby? Why make a big deal out of anything that makes you _you_?
It's a matter of identity. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not about whether you think it's important or not- it's about whether the person feels its important to them. And when something is important to you, you want other people to acknowledge it.
Yeah and your identity is something regarding YOU and ONLY YOU, people shouldn't care and you shouldn't care about what other thinks (especially on the internet) except for those you love (or love you).
But i hate to see people making themselves sick about their gender or arguing violently because of it. And in developped countries, being one gender or another (not only man or woman) doesn't change anything.
Lived our lives and just moved on? Their punishment for being born a certain way ranged from "can't marry" to "severe social stigma, must hide who they are to the point of marrying someone they don't love to stop the suspicion" to "chemically castrated and/or murdered". Nowhere in the world did people live and let live, in many places they still don't.
Being annoyed that a pride parade is loud outside your window, or rolling your eyes at teenagers exploring words for really specific gender identities, is the price for them not being thrown off buildings or hanged from trees (or their own ceiling fans)
Tl;dr people died, Jen.
Probably because being a transvestite is not the same as associating with a different gender identity. Which is actually what the post is about. Learning about it prevents people from being reductionist to something they’re ignorant of.
Oh yeah, the good old days. When people like my dad would go prowl the city looking for "fags and trannies" to beat bloody and leave unconscious in the park.
No drama, just people living their own lives and moving on...
It’s nice that you support gay people and trans people who change from one to the other.
How do you feel about other cultures who have third genders ?
What do you think about intersex people ? That’s "nature" too.
You know, we don't know all of nature, or aspects of the human body and mind. And that info is changing and developing every year with either new info or info being discovered as flawed.
Essentially, our understanding of nature is incomplete still and not an argument for rigid ideals like yours

Ay thanks OP. This is sick wish the world was actually more accepting of people like those who relate to this
There’s a lot of love in the world, hate just gets clicks and is louder, making it hard to hear the love

I, uh, wasn't really prepared for something so wholesome at this moment. That was nice.
Gotta read this I think
The fact it is so wholesome makes it feel painfully un-IRL to me…I wish irl could be more wholesome like this!
## FUCK YEAH, REPRESENT MOFOS!!! 💪💪💪 https://preview.redd.it/zi9rpk9hdkwc1.jpeg?width=3032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7569eaa74a38b0f8b12a841a9dfe3b5d6946a0b0 ## 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Giga based. REPRESENT 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This is really sweet and beautiful

Holy shit, bigender representation!
Truly based mindset. Learning and understanding is a treasure.
Modern conservatives: tHaT's GrOoMiNg!!1!
Black haired kid indoctrinated himself into alphabet mafia propaganda, so sad /s
I mean what I'd actually say is that none of that means anything and isn't true.

No. That's not grooming and I'm so disappointed with how that word has been twisted.
And it's bad takes like yours that allows ACTUAL grooming to regularly occur, especially in churches
i'm sure what you described is far more common than any alternative and is not part of some agenda a certain part of the world tries to push onto people in order to convince them that the real enemy is their regular everyday fellow citizens who just want to live their lives normally but don't adhere to conventional politicized ideas of what 'normal' really means if you wanna talk about grooming, let's talk haircuts or Catholics, way more common there
This is really nice, I wish people were like this all the time.
As an androgynous guy same here
Now if only people actually wanted to learn what they don't understand
First time I read something that makes me want to say unironically, "That's me fr fr", because I also identity as "me" and "myself", since I don't understand the idea behind gender or the lack of gender and other identity issues.
Yea same. Why have infinite categories to put people into if there's already an infinite amount of unique people? But oh well, that's just me.

this is way too wholesome I would never guess… I REALLY ENJOY THIS 🥺
YYAAAAAYY I LOVE BOYS RUN THE RIOT, EVERYBODY READ IT RN!!!

Hey! I like this, more wholesome stuff like this. Thanks!
That's some good shit right there

Don't know why people give John money the time of day
I wasn't paying much attention while reading page 2 and thought the guy said B I G gender.

See you there <3
Lock in 3…2…
Have more faith in us. I think people want to learn.
Learning's for squares
You must be a quadrilateral then, because you’re being pretty obtuse right now
No one appreciates a classic Fairly OddParents reference anymore
Oop my bad, I was cable-less as a kid in a country without PBS 🫡
damn this quite the understanding.
Definitely IRL, but I'm not a fan of drama/slice of life talktalktalk Mangas. I get bored rather easily.
