:::...no, Soroxas. Just...no. Read closer, and assume good faith. Also, for the record, we can't mention Lauriam/Marluxia because ''Nomura himself'' went to the trouble of saying Lauriam and Marluxia aren't the same people. That probably ties into what the Nameless Star said about becoming a completely different person, but still. | :::...no, Soroxas. Just...no. Read closer, and assume good faith.

:::Rex -- to be clear, Saix ''consistently'' refers to her as "it", and then the bit with Xigbar starts referring to her as a him. It's not explicitly "about" the gender, but on a basic level Xion's drama is still about her feeling obligated to submit to another identity she doesn't truly identify with (one which is male, to the point that she ''specifically says'' "If you see somebody else's face...a boy's face"), while others try to treat her as just an "it", but then by the point of KH3 being encouraged to reclaim her "true" identity (one which is female). I'm not sure I would really call that a fan interpretation, because what I've just stated is plain fact -- the interpretation would be whether Nomura actually ''intended'' any of that, or whether it's all complete coincidence.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:11, 22 February 2019 (UTC) | :::Rex -- to be clear, Saix ''consistently'' refers to her as "it", and then the bit with Xigbar starts referring to her as a him.

:::Eternal: To be clear, I'd be talking about actual reputable articles, like something in let's say the NYT or famitsu, not fan essays on livejournal or tumblr. And I'm not asking to do a whole essay reinterpreting Days from a trans lens, but instead just state that Xion fulfills the criteria of being a trans character. Like, just that sentence, with a citation to a reputable article if necessary.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:21, 22 February 2019 (UTC) | :::Eternal: To be clear, I'd be talking about actual reputable articles, like something in let's say the NYT or famitsu, not fan essays on livejournal or tumblr.

:::Then again, going back to the fan interpretation, it appears to also be offensive to some to state outright "Xion is trans" when her contrived scenario is so unlike the real struggle of people in the real world, so from that tack maybe it would be best to leave this out after all?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:21, 22 February 2019 (UTC) | |||
