hate the type of transmisogynist criticism disguised as woke feminist that a "good female character" is the one written just as a Good Character. you can't divorce the individual from the cultural programming that comes from being born certain gender, because gender, just as sexuality (and the absent of) IS identity. so a good female character is one who exists in a vacuum devoid of her identified gender's struggles? in the attempt to try to help, people fall again in the gears of misogyny and transphobia, women in all her upbringing can't be recognized if her problems doesn't align with cismen's problems. pregnancy, motherhood, hypersexuality as coping mechanisms, dysmorphia in the transition from child to teen bodies, gender dysmorphia, neurodivergent approach, religious beliefs, are topics that has nothing to do with cismen or are experienced very differently each, and within cis and trans individuals too. she/they can have a fatass in a nuanced way you know
