Is anyone else so annoyed and done with all the “saiki is trans and aroace” stuff? Because I certainly am.
Saiki isn’t trans because to be trans you need to experience Gender Dysphoria, have genuine discomfort with your body and sex. Saiki literally never has any of this, but people label him as trans because he can switch from male to female and vise versa. THATS LITERALLY ONE OF HIS POWERS?? How does that make him trans?? He never expressed any discomfort with his sex over the whole series, but because he was apparently born a female and used his powers to be male he is trans?
And that brings us to our next point, Saiki isn’t aroace or whatever. Just like the trans one, this can be said very easily. Saiki isn’t aroace because he sees people as what they are- muscle and bones. He literally doesn’t see people on the outside, he sees their insides and organs. Because of this, he literally states, “JUST HOW WOULD I DEVELOP FEELINGS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?” It isn’t that he CANT feel attraction or feelings towards people, just that he can’t develop feelings for people’s muscles and organs. If he didn’t have that power, he would see people as everyone else did, and most likely would develop crushes and attractions.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I don’t want to read a single comment saying “just let us have this!! There isn’t any aroace or trans representation in here blah blah blah” because I have seen people say that, and yall don’t make a valid argument. Stop labeling characters just because of their slight quirks. Happy Christmas everyone.
