MASTERPOST Gender in Kuroshitsuji
At last I have composed a masterpost about Grell’s gender, and gender in general in ‘Kuroshitsuji’. I am not sure whether I caught all of my posts on this topic, so if you find anything that I missed, please do nudge me ( •_•) σ (ÓwÒ)
The following is categorised into sections. I do realise the categorising is not perfect, but many posts really do overlap in categories… so my apologies here.
