@french_fry_guy ngl, I thought that was GUMI at first

Well magical boys ARE a thing, maybe their wish was to be more masculine? (Maybe theyre magical boy fit is very masculine presenting) Also I think kyubey would respect the characters identity bc it's a actual medical thing that they can't control and kyubey is really smart so he'd understand it

I think the concept of a trans magical boy has potential to be really interesting and I actually had a similar idea but the character wasnt trans, they were a guy chosen to play the role of a magical girl and it was more Abt exploring how societal views on masculinity effect how men present and express themselves and see themselves:p (I gave up on it tho bc it was kinda gay TvT)

@_Izzy_ I remember people being mad about a girl character from knights of gweniver being like, a tomboy and being masculine but her character wasn't a trans man, she was just a girl who was more masc presenting. kinda like buttercup from power puff girls I suppose.

I think magical boys would be an interesting concept, I think instead of maybe like skirts they got shorts but they still wore pink and had "girly" weapons but they didn't want to be called like femboys or whatever, just regular guys that wore pastel colors and stuff (my brother's favorite color is actually pink, he isn't a femboy or whatever he just thinks it's an cool color)

and the trans male magical boy would actually be super interesting imo, I haven't seen madoka magica but it'd be interesting to see how a narrative and plot would handle it, would it be a main focus of the story, would it just be a character trait, ya know? I think seeing how people view them would be interesting tbh, like in the story. and seeing gender as a concept be dissected and stuff and seeing how society perceives gender presentation

@Yanderemenhera that's actually what I was going for with my magical boy story, a guy who's still a guy but is into feminine stuff and bc of his role as a magical girl (but rlly he's a magical guy TvT) he ends up exploring it more

Rosado is another character ppl got mad Abt him not being trans, I feel like it's messed up bc not all crossdressers are trans TvT and men can like feminine stuff too and still identify as men, I actually think it's messed up to consider any person that doesn't conform to societal gender expectations as trans bc then they arent rlly not-conforming anymore? Like if rosado was trans hed no longer be special as a man who likes cute stuff/crossdresses, now hes just a girl who likes cute stuff and wears skirts, which is normal??? TvT

Velvet from the new Ribbon hero anime is another example of a feminine presenting male (who cross dresses) and still identifies as a man (he's rlly tea and the movies art direction is beautiful y'all should check it out)

@_Izzy_ gender is literally nothing more than a social construct.

I think most people have femmine and masculine traits and that's fine.

sometimes someone might be more into things that aren't traditionly viewed to be a part of their gender but they still are the gender they were assigned at birth, it doesn't make anyone trans necceraly or less of a man/woman.

sometimes trans people like things more traditally associated with their gender assigned at birth and not what they identify with but that doesn't make them any less trans, I feel like the idea that anyone who doesn't adhear to every gendered sterotype Must be trans is actually pretty limiting tbh, I feel like someone identifying as trans makes them trans, not them being a taller girl who likes fixings cars or some guy who really likes the color pink and they enjoy high heals since they think they look really cool.

but that's just my thoughts though
