the uhh "discourse" about him is super fucked. Japanese pronouns aren't gendered so the translations are inconsistent. the anime, on the other hand, is extremely consistent. so you have a bunch of sweaty nerds trying to argue that the translations are Very Important so misgendering him is fine.
I've got 7.327 references in the text to this character being trans
aaand I've got one piece of merchandise not produced or overseen by oda wherein there's one reference that misgenders him
I knew she was a chick, Oda would never make a trans character
Weebs suddenly getting very scholarly about translations when its time to argue against a character being trans (the creator's statement is ofc usually something like "this character is trans")
