Pidge is biologically female but identifies as male. So he's still a he regardless of whether people are equipped to deal with it or not.
Though it is fun to see how many trolls are triggered by the presence of trans positive characters like Pidge.

Genderbending is clearly a big deal and entirely unprecedented in animation. I think this issue should be thoroughly politicized and bitterly debated.
I just finished watching the show today. Man that was awesome. Maybe action cartoons will finally make a comeback.
>>84170162
I want to hold Pidge's sweaty hand
>>84170386
Did you watch the show? Like at all?
>>84170386
>Pidge is biologically female but identifies as male.
i know that's bait, but I'm still going to point out that's wrong.
she's only a boy because the staff of the academy know who she is after she broke in to find records of her family.
and she had to look as different as possible to get back in as a student.
and then when she does reveal herself, there's only like, one character who didn't already figure that out. And from there, she pretty much just doesn't give a shit because her gender isn't important beyond that point
>>84170438
i know this is bait. its as obvious as day, but i cant help myself.
she said she was a girl. thats why she couldnt man up. you did see that part right?
>>84170386
I must compliment your baitcraft. You managed to not only create a cringe-worthy statement that is guaranteed replies, but also included language that demonizes anyone who replies simply for daring to disagree with said statement.
Now sit back and watch the action.
Brilliant.
All this shitposting about Pidge makes me more and more certian that Mulan would be hated on /co/ if it came out now.
>>84170162
>>84170162
So what's with all the race-changing and trans stuff? Like, characters are black now, too?
>>84170664
well they were japanese before
Fuckin tranny characters. Why are they being forced into so many cartoons these days? (Adventure Time, Gumball, SU, now this)
Transgingers make up less than .1% of the population. If anything they're being over represented.
>>84170724
Pidge is not a tranny and straight up says she is female. She was only pretending to be a boy to complete her objective, like Mulan.
>>84170724
Wow like three or four characters out of billions and billions and billions of all collective fictional characters in existence.
Such overrepresentation.
>>84170746Is shitposting, Pidge repeatedly refers to herself as a girl post-reveal.
>>84170724
Voltron is based on anime, and there's lots of trans/cross-dressing characters in anime. What's the problem?
>>84170791
The original Go-Lion is anime.
This Voltron show is written by white people and drawn by Koreans. It is not anime.
And anyway, Pidge being trans is the stupidest fuckin idea I've ever heard.
Show dropped.
>>84170791
I honestly can't think of a single trans anime character. They do have a shit ton of cross dressers though.
>>84170724
whos trans on gumball and adevnture time?
Trap != Trans
>>84170826
>I honestly can't think of a single trans anime character.
Birdie the Mighty
>literal woman trapped in a boy's body
>>84170839
>whos trans on gumball and adevnture time?
I dunno about Gumball, but Bemo is established as trans on AT.
>>84170847
>Birdie the Mighty
>literal woman trapped in a boy's body
isnt it the other way around? and besides, those are two separate characters, so not trans
Pidge being trans is whatever. I thought he was a girl when I was a kid anyway.
But why the fuck has Sven been racebent into an Asian guy named "Shiro"? Is this a "muh diversity" thing?
>>84170821
Are you dumb? She isn't trans. She even refers to herself as a girl. it wasn't a trans reveal it was more like a samus being a girl reveal.
But so fucking what even if she were trans. If that is enough to ruin a show you are genuinly a shallow person, and most likely a shitty human being. No, not because you hate trans or whatever, but because you sound like a spoiled baby.
>>84170859
wouldnt beemo have to either been male or female for that to be?
>>84170847
Actually the kid is in Birdy's body because he almost dies, and it's two separate people, so no.
>>84170826
Ranma 1/2
>>84170859
>>84170917
Beemo is "gender fluid". I honestly don't know if that makes "xir" trans or not. Beemo changes genders between episodes.
>>84170724
>Transgingers make up less than .1% of the population.
Do you know who also makes up 1% of the population? The military. Does anyone question soldiers appearing in media? No. The argument that "there aren't many!" (which falls apart when you consider how large 1% of the population IS, anyhow - it's a large number by any definition) quickly reveals itself to be "this makes me uncomfortable, don't show it to me!" And, you know what? Fuck your uncomfortable ass.
>>84170935
That's not really the same thing, but I can see your point.
>It's a female disguised as a male trope
>Suddenly the character is trans
It's Phoenix Wright all over again.
>>84170897
because svens dumbass accent was dated when that shit came out. im glad they kept him as his golionn counterpart
>random trans character
Uuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
Never mind, Voltron. I'll wait for the next reboot.
>>84170821
>Pidge being trans is the stupidest fuckin idea I've ever heard.
Good thing she isn't
>>84170847
>>84170935
Those don't really count, those are just magical accidents where a cis-person is thrown into a new body. When people talk about "trans" they usually mean people who were BORN into the wrong body.
>>84170981
>they usually mean people who were BORN into the wrong body.
No we mean people who suffer from mental illness. Which it is, your brain is fucked up and saying you are the gender you are not
>>84170974
its not trans anything. a girl masquerades as a boy then reveals herself as a girl. thats it
>>84170826
Bridget from Guilty Gear.
>back story is born male, raised to be female, identifies as female but is biologically male
Try to argue that isn't a trans character, faggots.
>>84170981
I think it's more people make a choice to change themselves later. There's no right or wrong for what you're born as.
>Pidge is trans!
>No he isn't!
This is going to be every Voltron thread for the rest of eternity now, isn't it?
>>84170821
I didn't say it's anime.
>>84170826
Well, it may be difficult to establish the distinction between the two and I don't think anime is very particular about it.
Aoi from You're Under Arrest and Rukako from Steins;Gate are some trans characters that immediately come to mind.
>>84170994
I'm sorry I thought people were asking about anime characters not for an argument on semantics so you could proselytize us.
>>84171002
I thought Bridget identified as a boy and constantly tried to prove he's a man and that's why he always hung around that buff bounty hunter guy.
>>84170386
>>84171020
Can't wait until Pidgeposting becomes a regular thing.
>>84170386
jesus fug, how do i get rid of you /co/mblr fools?!? how?!?!?
>>84170162
>Pidge
>Boy
Yeah, this is gonna plague Voltron threads for a LOOOOONG time, isn't it? and more with people who don't see the FUCKING SHOW.
Pidge is not a transgender, she's a transSEXUAL.
Pidge was male in all previous continuities. He was turned female for this continuity. Pidge biologically went from a he to a she.
Pidge is transsexual.
>>84171030
>Rukako from Steins;Gate
>>84171131
That's like saying you're transsexual because there's another universe where you're a girl.
>>84170356
Completely forgot about this anime; was enjoying it. What the fuck was it called again? Strange Punch?
>>84171131
If they're different continuities then how does it make her trans?
>>84171131
Pidge is a cisgender girl in this one.
>>84171166
Punch Line.
>>84171202
Thanks senpai.
Can't we a "Pidge is best girl" thread without having to go through a gender discussion?
>>84171294
Not anymore Gutsy-boy.
>>84171294
I'm not sure if you actually read the OP but this is clearly a "Pidge is best boy" thread.
>>84171294
>563 KB PNGCan't we a "Pidge is best girl" thread without having to go through a gender discussion?
Pidge's gender isn't up for discussion. Gender is fluid. If he identifies as a boy then he's a boy. Period.

That side character in Kamisama no Memochou who got stabbed in the uterus and decided to become a man because she couldn't have kids anymore.
>>84170386
Oi!
>>84170949
At least one person in this thread has made their peace with trans-Pidge.
>>84171020
Until people find more creative forms of bait at least
>>84170826
I remember this short manga series of a tranny in high school and it was really sweet, it was a mostly gag comedy but there was one shy girl the MC helped out and a big fat teacher who keeps injuring herself comically whenever she tries to catch MC doing shenanigans and it ended on a beach issue with MC meeting a famous tranny that helped lift her spirits.
It was really cute but fuck me if I can remember the name of it I remember nearly everything but the name.
>>84171494
>Until people find more creative forms of bait at least
Or until faggots like you stop taking the bait.
I WONDER WHICH WILL HAPPEN FIRST!?
>>84170386
Pidge was born a girl?
>>84171316
Everyone knows girls make the best boys.
>>84170162
Yes. And pic related was best girl 2013.
>>84171544
Obviously.
>>84171294
This is /co/mblr, what the fuck do you think? Retarded faggots will try to stick their mental illness on any character they can so as they can delude themselves into thinking they're "normal" and "accepted.
>>84171618
/pol/ go home.
>>84171515
Pidge was born a girl, is a girl, remained a girl, identifies as a girl, think of herself as a girl, is and will continue to stay biologically female. On all planes, INCLUDING physical, she is a girl.
She dressed as a boy to infiltrate a space cadet training facility unnoticed to steal info about what really happened to her father and brother during their space mission, and now every tumblrina is going TRAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS like the mentally ill faggots they are.

Wow it sure is a shame that's not the case here then cause basing in the Voltron tags on that site, they've been relatively chill about it in comparison to the shitposters here as well as the people who take the bait blindly like you. :^)
>>84171687
Pidge isn't trans, but she is a "trans" character done right. If she was actually trans in a show that had zero to do with gender or the exploration of sexuality or anything of that nature, it would cast a shadow over the entire rest of the show and color reduce the sum of its parts.
Instead, they drew a boy and called him a girl. She had her "fear of being discovered" and "coming out" scenes without making them the central point of any extended conflict within the group. LGBT people have someone to project on to, and the straight majority watching the show don't have lessons in tolerance and pronouns shoved down their throats.
>>84171986
Cross-dressing/trans characters often appear in anime without any explanation or discernible reason.
>>84171863
No, it was just like, a five or six issue manga that was really very silly with running gags and stuff.
>/co/ being irrationally hateful toward trans and trans characters
Not surprised. You're /pol/ tier.
>>84172369
What trans character?
>>84171986
>but she is a "trans" character done right.
No, that's still wrong. Crossdressing has nothing to do with the transgendered lifestyle.
All she did was dress as a boy in order to gain access to classified information on the whereabouts of her family. Not because she feels like a boy deep down inside or some moronic shit like that. It's a disguise. A disguise she kept because she didn't trust the other Palladins.
There is nothing else to be gleaned or interpreted from this.
>>84172569
Read the sentences before and after that one.
>>84172569
You're ignorant.

Pidge isn't trans. She's justa liar.
