"Of course I expect no sympathy for this secret on a comm..."
Eh... If I understand what you're saying here correctly (that F!S doesn't like any trans interpretations of characters because they're too SJW), I don't agree. From what I've seen, there are people who argue in favor to trans interpretations and people who argue in favor of cis interpretations. You won't get universally railed against for either. Similarly, there are people who are very anti-SJW and people who get annoyed by anti-SJW people.

Regarding the B!S, eh, I think you're right but I think for slightly different reasons. Japan has a view of trans people that's very different from the way it's conceived of in the U.S. For example, misgendering is not as big of an issue there as it is here because gendered pronouns are awkward to use. So you won't really get a character who deeply feels a certain pronoun is "wrong" and gives them dysphoria. I also think in anime it's more common for characters to be genderless, which is a different paradigm than what we have in the U.S. At the same time, in Japan, there are ways in which certain personality traits are seen as connected to gender in a way that isn't the case in the U.S. So basically, I just think expecting Japan to produce a trans character in the way we think adequate is pretty unrealistic, because their views of the meaning of gender and transgender is not the same as ours. I don't think it's wrong or backwards, though. I just think it's different. Gender is highly cultural; transgender I think is as well.
