@youandbadmovies I don’t know how everyone is neglecting the fact that Fujimoto’s assistant during Fire Punch and co-creator of Just Listen to the Song is FTM. Fujimoto has personal connections to trans people, at least a trans man, which is reflected in his works
@wormfingers@QavierCooley@wreckette You don’t know my experiences, though, or who I am. Do you think any of this information is harmful? I never referred to anyone with those terms, obviously. It’s history. I take this seriously. I don’t want to argue with you. If you think I should re-write it, I’ll consider it
@wormfingers@QavierCooley@wreckette I think it’s important to understand the words used in the past to describe who we would now call transgender.

@turningmystile Though some exceptions try to use it neutrally, “Dude” as a noun itself is still decidedly gendered as masculine like saying “that dude over there”.
