Thank You For Asking Me I Now Have One Post In My To-do List Done - Blog Posts

heyyyyyy there do u maybe wanna share more thoughts on butch lesbian kirino? im very intrigued 👀

This is based on projection of my own experience of identifying as MLM trans guy to nonbinary butch lesbian so I headcanon Kirino to go thru the same pipeline, hahah. Though different to my labels, I headcanon that Kirino is both transmasc and butch lesbian.

The idea came from how Kirino keeps his pigtails despite not liking being mistaken as a girl, so I headcanon that he has a complex relationship with masculinity, hence his complicated gender journey where he mistook his masculinity as being a binary man, but in reality it's entirely outside of the conventional idea of gender (being butch)

Other than his refusal to let go of his pigtails, my main idea of the headcanon is the way he finds kinship in Joan of Arc who during her entire life was demonized for not conforming to gender roles, leading to her death. And Kirino's Joan of Arc theming doesn't end in his mixi-max but it extends to his keshin sharing the same traits as Joan's (banner bearing / raising morals of other fellow members)

I also found Kirino's development to embrace his calling as a defender and to support Shindou and other members similar to butches in history where they took the role of supporting and protecting other members of the LGBTQ community in past, too
