Getting a sex change in the "real world" would make you a transvestite. And a transvestite doesn't like girls. :|

However, in the "anime world", it depends. If the case would be "Ranma 1/2-like", just confused. If the case would be "Kashimashi-like", I'd consider him a lesbian.


fyi transvestite = wear clothes of opposite sex, eg Eddie Izzard (who is straight, and confusingly describes himself as a "male lesbian"
transsexual = sex change due to body / mind difference. Most people that get sex change operations always mentally identify themselves as the opposite gender to what they are physically born with and have the operation to correct a genetic error. Their orientation is entirely separate.


When I first read the comment, I thought it sounded "off".

You have to understand, I live in a small town :) We don't have transvestites, so I had some trouble deciding if they were right in that statement :)

I pondered the original comment because a person could conceivably think they should have been born the other gender just as easily as having a preference that could be for either gender.

What I liked about Kashimashi, was it explored what a guy become girl would do with pre existing relationships. The guy isn't going to automatically think like a girl just because he becomes one. It was funny seeing how the girls had to show him how to act like one :)

Almost... done... CGing...

Anyway, I'm curious, who else is actually registered or is following the AnimeSuki thread? I'm only just filtering 1% of the stuff that's going on there =3=

Heh, I'm attempting to follow it =P, but it just goes by so fast each day, though I think I'm pretty much caught up with most of it now

oh and btw Pas, you got well known pretty quick with your sketches on animesuki ;)

I'm in that forum as well, but I'm in a different screenname. Following that thread is a real pain in the ass though. :x

I used to follow the forum (xris is local to me and ran my old anime soc), under this name, but fell out of it aaaages ago.

xris has the largest anime collection in the entire world.

Lmao, I never thought about how they'd actually end up handling this scene, but apparently the president is a BL fan o.O

Other than that, I have to say most of the fanartists have settled down pretty quickly with the character designs, and the art coming out is becoming more and more recognizable as a single character etc

Damnit, that first image Pas, I wish I could draw half as well as that :)

That IS so funny.

Guess only Haruhi fans are enjoying this as much though :)

So if a dude looks like a chick, and you could do him without seeing, touching, or knowing about his weiner, would you do it?

What if you already knew it was a dude, but he totally looked like a chick? Or what if you didn't know, but you did it anyway; would it make you gay?

No but really. Would you do it?




























































This is important to anime.
