It's written by an autistic cis woman who is bi or pan (she's uncertain) and the comics are screened by her wife before posting.

Unfortunately, they're not married anymore because her partner changed her gender designation; which made the marriage effectively null since two women can't be married in Japan. But they've vowed to stay together, regardless!

Just saw this on my TL https://twitter.com/gory47831930/status/1432890137407475714

going through their tl the 'horribly transphobic tweets' are them saying that theyre a bit unsure about people who still have dicks going into a womans bathroom or places for abused women and such, even if they understand that its uncomfortable for the trans women too, and its a complex issue. i cant find anything insanely right wing or terf-y, just that there's a sort of trust and safety involved. which, well, it is? the conversations at a much different place in japanese society and i don't think that view is so insanely terfy that she should be cancelled on twitter, lol. they arent saying that trans women are predators rushing into womens bathrooms and they should be banned just that the fact is that not everyone who uses those spaces for some kind of security or safety when theyre in a dangerous situation is going to be fully educated on trans issues or even should have to accept trans people to be afforded that sense of safety. like this is a bit above this thread's paygrade and its definitely not a Woke opinion but you can see the sentiment.

and they offer no links to the trans woman's twitter to assert the nationalist/terf sentiments. but people are obsessed with ~milkshake duck~ rather than the fact that this random twitter person doodling a cartoon with 5k followers probably isnt a paragon of social justice but just a person with some contradictory and random views, lol.

and also the person trying to spread this has two followers and an account created last month. hm. i wonder if there's any kind of trend of people using the veil of ostensibly woke sentiment to try and undo anything to do with trans people.

okay that being said i went to the trans wife's account and they do like some extremely sus tweets about jk rowling being a powerful independent woman. but whatever im not a cop. bizarre that that person had the receipts on the banal bathroom tweets and buried that under an indirect link tho.

ive seen an insane amount of uk trans people who have been indoctrinated by terfs into saying they're 'not real women but that's okay even after my srs' so its not impossible that there are trans women who have this idea

yeah she seems very very focused on surgery as a validity marker. probably gotta work through that but hell im not here to cancel some lady with 12 followers for having some baggage just cause her wife drew a cartoon of her, and the comics seem pretty empathetic and understanding. is probably worth knowing though.

couldnt find any of the hypernationalist stuff they alluded to tho.

A couple webtoons I liked.

My Dragon Girlfriend. Main pairing is between a bi human girl and a lesbian dragon, but we also got a transbian vampire and a lesbian catgirl witch and many other characters. It can get NSFW at times.

Kiss It Goodbye. Four friends have a meet-up as adults; two of them are a couple, and one of the other asks "oh by the way, I've always been wondering, how did the two of you end up together?" and from there it goes into flashback mode to high school.

i don't think anyone is saying her opinions are good just that they maybe aren't quite at that level of bad.

having had a little look at their twitters though, i think it's close. the trans wife comes across as the conservative sort of trans woman who's determined to be one of the good ones etc., heavily focused on surgery for validity (from what i've heard that in particular is more common in japan) & the cis wife agrees with all that stuff. it's bad & certainly terf-adjacent and i think the criticisms people are making are mostly fair even if slightly exaggerated & were unhelpfully lacking in info.

I TRIED TO BAIT THE TXPOL THREAD WITH THE WORLD'S WORST POSSIBLE TAKE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID AVATAR.
that surgery focused trans self view is a hold over from the pre-10's trans narrative, which was heavily informed by the dr. chaser-trans-women-are-gay-men-or-perverts rear end in a top hat. I'm not surprised a more conservative nation has people with that view., as well. Hell I used to think that way early on in my transition a decade ago because i gotten a lot of my trans knowledge from places like transgender.org or whatever it is.
