Excellent analysis!

Also what translation is that?

Like a decade ago I decided to sit down and do a trans reading of the entire manga series trying to prove just that point. Totally forgetting how one of the last few chapters just straight up ends with this panel.

I worked on this story for years, etc.

Sister coming in clutch

Fuck yeag sisterhood

And I dress kinda… yall-ternative… yee haw queer…

And so there’s this strain of old cowboys who see me and are just like “Fuck yeah! Stay weird!” But in a deeply homophobic way

Like these men aren’t sure if they want to sleep with me or share a beer with me

Yeag… probably should’ve

But yeag, I get weird when approached in public like that… and I feel pretty safe where i live because there’s this weird attitude of like… live and let live, everyone has a right to be weird… but its intertwined red blooded American conservativism

Lol, I’m glad

Okay but the juxtaposition of gendered signifiers is based and cool, and it did inspire this post, which I’m still proud of and still a little worried was crossing a line

Sometimes you just gotta manage some fleets

Crime lord Nabiki this

CEO Tycoon Nabiki that

What about college student Nabiki who takes a delinquent stoner gap year to make sure her college experience is “authentic” while she focuses on her true passion… avant guarde nude photography

I know Ive said this before, but i love the concept of stoner Nabiki

Hey, the opposite is also true

How many bits of “you” are out there in the world?

How many imperfect reflections of you exist in other people’s minds?

How many memories do people have of you that they hold close to their heart?

How many inside jokes or verbal stims did you start and spread?

At this point I’d rather him believe I’m intersex than trans, so i wiggle my hand and yell across the parking lot, “I was born between the sexes!”

And says “Right On!”

I’m now safely in my car driving home after convincing a man I’m some form of Ranma

I check out and he’s out of the store behind me, he yells in the parking lot, “Hey, kid! How old are you?”

I smile wide and yell back “29!”

He says, “Oh so you’re an old man! Er wait?”

He continued “if any asshole gives you trouble, I’ll beat him up. And guess what! You just met the biggest asshole”

I smiled and tried to be like “yeag, I will stay safe out there” while biting back my anxiety and laughter.

He then clarified that he “loves gay people” has a gay granddaughter who is “As queer as a 3 dollar bill”

He then told me to “stay safe out there, I’m constantly telling my granddaughter and her girlfriend that, because there’s a lot of assholes out there.”
