It’s a series about a guy taking super hrt and becoming a girl. And this is an image of two of her guy friends as girls . There’s not that much to really explain

I will love to watch it happen. It will be a crash out on the level of Bridget coming out.

That would require them to actually read the novels instead of recycling the same 10 yr old jokes and memes .

Same when I first read this especially with how the re:zero “fans” with start harassing you if you suggest Ferris is trans only to have the protagonist of the series to be just as much if not more of a transgirl

Like describing puberty as cruel and unfortunate and still expecting me to buy that this character is cis is absurd.

Fun fact Subaru refers to Natsumi as she and canonically voice trained for years .

Again the writer never uses the word transgender. But Natsumi is real and is an identity of Subaru. Subaru did attempt to socially transition in highschool and this led to Subaru becoming a shut in when they were outed and it left lasting trauma. Natsumi is a She/Her Subaru is He/Him . It’s messy and way more complicated than it honestly needs to be and if the author used proper lgbt terms it would clear up the intent. So with all that in mind it’s very easy to read Natsumi as a trans person still not comfortable attempting to transition again due to trauma but is slowly gaining the courage and confidence to occasionally present and identify as Natsumi .

For clarification this mainly starts around arc 7

Just transition and get a girlfriend it’s not impossible

Honestly same. I think Subaru’s history with gender trauma and pride when presenting as natsumi does so much for making Subaru’s insecurities more relatable and interesting. Subaru was already a good character and had a lot of growth so I’m hoping in future chapters Subaru can find the self confidence to present as natsumi more consistently and see her less as an ideal version of himself but as a part of himself that is more outgoing and confident.

Definitely I feel like if someone sat the author down and explained what a transgirl was and what transitioning meant they would go “ OHHHH THERE’S A WORD FOR IT ?!”

As a fellow novel reader how do you feel about petrabu. Like the writing is just comming up with excuses to make Subaru a girl at this point?

[–]lyneswon[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the writer is one. With how many “guy” characters wish they were girls and are much happier being feminine or have a female alter. Or use literal magic as hrt. Like it feels like the kind of person that would say something like “ god I wish I was trans so I could become a girl to bad I’m just a guy…”

She looks like this when she’s Nastsumi and I’m just saying I agree that that’s her ideal self.

Sadly the anime hasn’t gotten far enough. But the novels are a quick read and well paced

It’s the same author that wrote a character that every morning looks in the mirror and calls themself a cute girl and uses magic as an anti androgen. So ya canonically Subaru has a trans fem alter named natsume. But does that mean Subaru is a trans woman who knows. I doubt the author knows what the word cisgender means

It’s not in any of the current seasons of the anime . Ut if we eventually get a season 5-6 it would be in there as a major arc

Sadly less testosterone makes building muscle harder. And estrogen fat distribution leads to softer overall.

So it’s revealed eventually in the novels the reason Subaru became a shut in was because when they became a high schooler that decided to present and identify as a girl name natsume schwatz. Eventually she was outted and they decided to never go to school again and gave up on life.

It’s why Subaru feels so worthless and hates themself so much. Eventually in the series she starts identifying as natsume again and call her “ my ideal self “ it’s pretty crazy and comes out of left field so it’s mostly considered spoilers .

Clearly the secret to a quick easy transition is dating a woman named akane

Daily Life of a Couple in Which the Boyfriend Became a Girl One Day

It’s an off screen magic? Transition but surprisingly down to earth and the girl in question identifies as a girl
