apparently i found a canon trans lady in the battle maison
cute!!
don’t black belt women exist tho
black belts are an all-male trainer class within the game.
OH duh. right. i took this complete out of context. it’s pokemon.
Reasons I love X and Y
This is just a mis-translation you fuck heads
I hate to break your bubble, but no, it’s not. In Japanese, she says
半年前はカラテおうだったのに医学の力ってスゲーよね！
which literally means “To think I was a Black Belt just half a year ago. Modern medicine sure is amazing!”
as an extra bonus, Black Belts are referred to in Japanese as カラテおう, which means “karate king” and is explicitly male.
(extra extra bonus: she is a known thing in the Japanese fandom and there is (somewhat tasteless) fanart of her.)
tl;dr keep your stupid transphobic assumptions to yourself, moron
I’d do reserch to show why this is false but it’s not worth it because I have a life and don’t waste time dicking around with “social justice” on tumblr
“this person proved me utterly wrong in my mindless vitriol, time to play the ‘oh I have a life and totally am not at all invested in ANYTHING online’ card”
i’ve reblogged this before, but just wanted to point out that even one incredibly minor trans character is enough to send cis ppl into a whiny baby rant
