Also... Found someone whose headcanon of Flower is she is a transvestite. We're currently have a big talk about she is not. I don't mind headcanons, but people try and use them as fact, this is wrong. Flower's sexual nature maybe up to the use, but she is still a girl... And I find all this "she wears boys clothes, therefore is a transgender" kinda offensive... Being that Aside from long hair I pretty much wore boys clothes, I did not consider myself a transvestite, I jut didn't like dresses growing up.... I had a mother who tried to put me in the most girly clothes as a child because she thought it was "cute"...And I kinda rebelled. But seriously... My mother treated clothes on me as though I was a doll. Quick question, are they aware that "transvestite" refers to someone who gets off on wearing clothes associated with the opposite gender and that it's not a synonym for "crossdresser"? And that it's... not a great idea to conflate that with being trans?
