“So is Yuuma trans?”

Okay, let me just say this upfront. Yuuma is NOT transgender. Yuuma was LITERALLY ABUSED by her mother Carmine to make her live as a boy. If that somehow translates as being transgender to you, you’ve got some serious reading to do.

“But Yuuma is a girl dressing as a boy! It’s basically the same as the Chihiro twist and she’s trans right?”

First off, yes, it is an inverse of the Chihiro twist. That’s why the execs were mad about it. Second, it still doesn’t mean she’s trans. Again, she was abused into living as a boy, and if that translates as her being trans you have a problem. Hell, I believe that Chihiro isn’t trans. The reason he chose to dress like a girl was to stop people from bullying him for being weak, and was very much willing to reveal his secret in order to become stronger in chapter 2. He’s just a cute lil guy who looks awesome in dresses. ...Okay I have a feeling that I already have a bunch of people coming after me with pitchforks just for saying that.

“So what are Yuuma’s pronouns?”

She/her. She did still go by he/him before the reveal, but her pronouns are now she/her.

“Will you just call her Kokona now since that's her real name?”

No, but I might still use it if I draw her design from the picture she showed Rantaro. Maybe.

“Would she ever use the name Kokona?”

Probably not. I can imagine that if she was still alive after the reveal, Yuuma would start going by she/her pronouns, but would still be very uncomfortable with being called Kokona, as she hasn’t been allowed to go by that name for years and it’s essentially a deadname for her.

Tl;dr: Yuuma’s pronouns are now she/her, Kokona is essentially a deadname, she still uses the name Yuuma, and SHE IS NOT TRANS.

We all clear? Good.
