For the longest time there were no homosexual couples in media, there was just “coding”, the effeminate best friend who’s always single. Now we actually have homosexual characters and they have stories that sometimes are, sometimes aren’t linked to them being homosexual.
This is good, and this is as it should be.
What we need is the same for transexuales, so there are transexuale characters who have stories that sometimes are about their transexuality, sometimes not, and that should just be that.
We should also stop looking for every trace of pink and blue as “coded” trans, because if people don’t say “we want these stories”, they’ll never get made.
