I actually get pretty bothered by tumblr posts and the like stating "All Sylveon are trans" and similar things; I feel it's just further trying to reinforce stereotypical "men can't be cute" archetypes
@KS I've seen people push this (complete with aspersions on anyone who disagrees) with ambiguously gendered human characters like Astolfo or whoever before too, and I just don't get it...
@KS ...i've shared this view, but not with the intent to double down on your feelings about it. my thought is that it's not just for trans girls, it's for *all* the cute people who aren't cis. given its colours are pink, blue, and white, those of the flag for everyone... idk. i don't want to hurt you, unintentionally or otherwise, and if you still think my perspective is an issue i can dismantle it
the "all Sylveon are trans" thing is going around birdsite now ffs
