#Kiku 'this one is a woman at heart' and no one misgenders her the whole time

I love that Oda got to Wano and was like "Gender doesn't exist here 💕"

I still don't personally think that Yamato is trans man.

As mush as everyone loves that headcanon - it's still just a popular headcanon.

1. Vivre Card. It officially made with Oda's help. Why on earth he would misgender own trans character? And it's not like he's transphobic - Kiku's info has it stated that she has woman's heart, unlike Yamato's, who doesn't have a single word about her actually thinking she's a man.

"vivre card not canon" Why? No, really, why? Where did you even got that? Their whole point to give you canon info ab character that you may not knew or that isn't super important but still relevant - height, favourite food, some silly fact, etc. why they exist if they aren't canon? Just to shit on merch?

Such a strange idea to misgender one trans character but not misgender other, don't you think?

2. Yamato's literal words.

She is calling herself a man, because ODEN was a man. It's a very important thing here - she doesn't say she's s man because she has a heart of one like Kiku, she doesn't say she was born in other body or literally any other way to say she is a maj. No.

Oden was a man, so she is too.

If Oden was a rock she would call herself rock too.

She doesn't have any gender conscious about herself in any ways. It also the explanation on why she uses masculine pronouns.

3. Yamato's lack of reaction at being misgendered.

I don't really think you would be comfortable with getting your gender wrong - yet she doesn't cares! When Sanji calls her Yamato-chan and when Brook and Sanji are simping for her she doesn't react at all, when being called Oni Princess she's rather sad about being treated like Kaido's child than being misgendered, etc.

5. Oda's drawings.

"yes, i have a trans character, I'll draw him in oiran clothes and on color spread that is dedicated to One Piece women. And also call her daughter of Kaido when introducing him." Like damn. Don't deny the facts at least here - Oda himself doesn't treat her like a man in any way. Why would i care about calling Yamato a man when even author doesn't fucking think so and don't care??

And the bath scene.

Booba fanservice. That's all.

It all makes it up to me that either Oda will have to change the way he treats Yamato and make it more obvious that she's a female or start treating her like a male. Without any actual jokes. Please.
