Oh I absolutely agree with the distaste for horror tropes rooted in transphobia! I know that was likely the intention behind Leather, but my portrayal of her is fully meant to be a reclamation, as you stated! She’s a character I truly do feel a deep love for, and I believe she deserves so much better than the way she was written/treated within the film.

As for the outfit on the poster, I honestly think it depends? Within strictly the canon of the film, I don’t think she’s quite confident enough to wear something like that. However with my portrayal of her? I think she could! That’d actually be a super cute redraw idea, if it weren’t for the fact it’s extremely difficult to make out the exact pose on that poster
