About the transgender beauty in XY

I checked it out in Japanese, and she's a known thing over there, too. Her dialogue is "半年前はカラテおうだったのに医学の力ってスゲーよね!" ("I was a Black Belt six months ago, but medicine sure is amazing!") or something very like it. Nazerine (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I'm assuming it's not appropriate to have a debate about whether or not she could possibly be trans in the edit summary field, so could we do that here? I don't see why there is any reason to assume she isn't, and there's plenty of reason to assume she is:

  • Black Belts are an all-male class; the name in Japanese is カラテおう="Karate King"--not something you could call a lady...
  • In the Japanese dialogue she mentions having undergone medical therapy.
  • The change is notable enough for her to talk about it? One would think she wouldn't care to mention it if she'd just gone from a sporty jock girl to a fashionable one in a few months.

Like, aside from assuming that GF/Nintendo are so transphobic that they would veto any trans representation, no matter how subtle, I don't see why there should be any doubt. And that's a pretty unfair assumption to make of the Japanese devs. Nazerine (talk) 21:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
