still can’t believe the bone raison d’etre threw the gender? shu itsuki truthers

[stardust_rifle]

all “this character-who-is-canonically-presented-as-male is actually a closeted transgender woman” headcanons/theories/truthing exist on a spectrum from “that’s… probably transphobic” to “whatever the hell is going on with shu itsuki enstars”

SERIOUSLY like....the problem with Shu is that I think even he doesn't know what's going on with his(???) gender, and it's delightful to see.

SO REAL. Like, my imagined ideal scenario for Shu, gender-wise is that he gets to his 40s-50s, sees his first grey hair, and has a meltdown at the idea of aging into a man and then might eventually pursue stuff like nullification surgery or T-blockers and then gets to age into a beautiful androgyne with no one but Mika the wiser. :)

But, like??? He’s just this combination of really insane about gender/sex and completely convinced that it’s sane and just An Artiste Thing that’s intoxicating. And the thematics!!!! Of the whole “my genderqueer transfem lesbian grandpa” thing and the “living the life a previous generation of queer people couldn’t” (can you tell I’m very normal about raison d’etre).

TL;DR shu itsuki, too bad you’re in enstars because in any other joseimuke thing YOU’D be their designated Gender Character
