Yeah same. I think the only transphobic person and/or arc in the whole thing is when Saniji goes to okama Island or whatever but even then he ends up friends and with a clear deep respect for all of them.
I think One Piece isn't perfect but it's significantly more inclusive than most anime. It's probably top 5% or better
did you read a different manga? he leaves the island talking about how he was in hell after they tried to forcefem him for 2 years and is so traumatized by it that he has serious life threatening nosebleeds whenever he sees a "real woman" for a while. incredibly transphobic stuff.
honestly i think oda doesn't see any connection between okama and trans people. he supports trans people because he saw them in the news but also he thinks it's very funny when a man wears fishnets and traumatizes people by being so ugly
Honestly I must have just memory holed how bad that specific arc was. Sanji is overall the worst character / crew member so I don't really keep a lot of room in my brain for his story arc. Probably why I didn't remember how bad that was!
i don't blame you, i wish i could memory hole it. sadly, as a trans woman, all that shit sticks with me forever
