    You probably know as much as me that everything related to gender and sexuality is a political subject these days, whichever side you’re on and whatever your beliefs are

      If literally everything related to gender were political you couldn’t show any humans in a comic without it being political. This comic treats a nominally political topic in a non political way. It only flags as being political because it’s in the current zeitgeist. Interracial couples used to be a hot button political issue as well and that doesn’t read as political anymore.

        Everything is political, the important thing is where to draw the line. It’s all nuanced.

        This comic treats a nominally political topic in a non political way.

        It does when the comic implies being MtF classifies as “girl” in the bet

        And yea, what is political (or rather, how much) changes with time and the current opinions on people. That’s exactly what I’m saying, this comic would probably not be political in a few dozen years, when (hopefully imo) the large majority of people stop being offended by social progress

          Oh look at me miss “I want to have the right to exist as a person”, so deeply political, such politics.

          Your instance have “free” as in “freedom” in it, a totaly apolitical concept, of course.

            No need to play dumb. The subject is not about the person, but the acts. Just like pedophiles can say “I want to have the right to exist as a person” and suddenly is political. You’re purposely excluding the context.

            And apart from that, the rights aren’t even debated here, the political subject i’m pointing towards is whether a MtF can be considered “girl” when the initial situation was obviously talking about sex at birth, not gender.

            Your instance have “free” as in “freedom” in it, a totaly apolitical concept, of course.

            And it is political in that way, yes. Does it matter to the subject? No. What I’m saying is that your instance’s political opinion is directly the one that is discussed in this topic.
