Trans dragon girlfriend who just got her bottom surgery done. She’s so nervous to use her cunt for the first time. What if you don’t like it? What if the surgery didn’t make it feel right?

I think you are all sleeping on transmasc Dragon idea. I mean, the reason we don't know anything about Luffy's mother? Because doesn't have one, he just has a father (oh, does that mean he has two fathers? Maybe but I bet all of the Monkey D.s are going to willfully (or actually in case of Luffy) play at not understanding. He has a father! It's Dragon. What do you mean "his actual father"? He has an actual father, Dragon. His mother is dead)

Anyway. A guy names Dragon who dedicated his life to fight Celestial Dragons? Feels like a choice ngl. Let's add the fact that no one knew that Garp's son is named Dragon (or people assumed that it's popular enough name that Vice Admiral's kid that disappeared and leader of Revolutionary Army are named the same? Ummm). People are laughing at Garp's naming choices but what if it wasn't his choice? He named his kid a perfect reasonable name and if he wanted to change it he should have changed it to yyy Marine! Kyahahaha !

So we have a kid/young adult who realises that the Government is fucked up and want to fights them. At the same time he figures that he is a he and chooses his new name. Well, why not call himself Dragon? Honestly iconic

In the meantime he meets Iva who is godsent. Not only he can feel better in his body but also now no one will recognise him for his past self! Win win. Sure, in the meantime he got pregnant which is a problem and a danger but he manages to hide it (it wouldn't be the first pregnancy that is hidden in a stressful situation, I'm looking at you Rouge), give birth and then totally hide it from Iva

(honestly, Revolutionary Army has probably so many stealth trans people thanks to Iva xd)

Certainly! I'm more than happy to oblige.

First though I'm gonna need to tldr: the history of Y Ddraig Goch before we get onto the (accidentally) canonically trans part.

A brief history of Y Ddraig Goch:

(The modern Welsh flag)

Y Ddraig Goch first appears in the tales of the Mabinogi (Charlotte Guest version) in the tale of Lludd and Llefelys where it is fighting a white dragon. The fight is also described/expanded upon in the c. 829 AD text Historia Brittonum (attributed to Nennius) - where the red dragon represents Wales and the white dragon represents the Anglo-Saxons. In the story the red dragon triumphs over the white. Of course, Geoffrey of Monmouth also covers the story c. 1136 in Historia Regnum Brittaniae in which he introduces the concept of the red dragon heralding the arrival of King Arthur.

Geoffrey of Monmouth claims Arthur used a banner featuring a golden dragon. But we also know the accuracy of Monmouth can be questionable at times. Owain Glyndŵr did use a banner with a golden dragon called Y Ddraig Aur - raised in 1401 at Caernarfon - Glyndŵr chose this banner as a nod to the supposed banner of Arthur and his father.

Later on the Tudor monarchs (being a Welsh family) adopted a red dragon on a white and green background in their heraldry. Eventually Y Ddraig Goch on a white and green background became the official badge of Wales in 1800. The design became the official flag of Wales in 1959.

Y Ddraig Traws:

Now for the thing you're all here for -

So, as outlined, the history of the dragon as a national symbol of Wales goes back a long way. If we're just talking post-1959, there's some interesting implications for Y Ddraig Goch's depiction.

This is what the Welsh flag (and Y Ddraig Goch) looked like in 1959 when it was officially adopted as the flag of Wales. It looks broadly the same as the first flag and has some common features - such as not having a penis (or, as in the correct heraldic terminology - a pizzle). Meanwhile, in the arms of the Tudors (specifically Henry VII)

(Tudor dragon with pizzle) vs (dragon on the flag of Cardiff - pizzleless)

the penis is almost always included. So much to the point that the present royal family still includes the penis. While pretty much 0 depictions of the dragon in Wales include a penis. So you could interpret this as the dragon is seen as male only by the British royal family and as female everywhere else (which kinda implies that at some point the Tudor dragon had an mtf transition in Wales and she keeps getting misgendered by the royal family every time she is depicted in (mostly) England).

So much to the point that in 1995 this pound coin was made by the Royal Mint featuring the pizzle on the dragon with all four feet touching the ground as opposed to standing up (passant rather than rampant).

But in Wales you'd be hard pressed to see a pizzled dragon anywhere. Ergo, we can only conclude Y Ddraig Goch is trans and she transitioned in Wales and keeps getting misgendered in England.

[note: This is mostly tongue in cheek - but I do think it's fun to extrapolate that the Welsh dragon is trans because of the differences in depiction between Wales and England. Like many things Welsh, it is misrepresented by England and the idea of the Welsh dragon being misgendered only in England is, I think, a good metaphor for a whole lot of English treatment of Wales.]

Unrelatedly, there is a gay Welsh flag held at the National Museum of Wales which has a very wonky dragon which I find very endearing.

(cleaned up version I made)

So much so I made it an emoji in my Welsh bilingual LGBTQIA+ Discord (requirements for joining are - be 16+, either speak or are learning Welsh and identify as LGBTQIA+ in some way. Dm for link!).

(triaist ti 'you tried' emoji)

Just to show @granolahbarbootygreen - @yo-snap from High On Life Fandom, and other Communities my Statement, Support, and Respect for Transgender, Queer and full LGBTQ+ with my OC Samy the Dragon.

We got a second trans character!
