I'm tired of people thinking Grelle is trans.

Grelle is a comic relief character whose stereotype is that he is very feminine. It's not uncommon for gay characters in anime and manga to be portrayed in a way that makes them look like they actually want to be female (i.e. using "atashi", wearing dresses, commenting on how they want to be a woman or on the advantages of being one). But he is not trans. He's a joke character.

Because wanting to get a sex change is such a gay thing to do.

It fits with the common stereotype. Have you even seen gay characters portrayed in anime?

Taking into account the whole sex change thing and also her motivation for becoming half of Jack the Ripper, I don't think it's unreasonable to see Grell as trans. Certainly I wouldn't call it an invalid interpretation.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-04 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I can see where you're coming from, but I'm still extremely doubtful of it given the way Grell is shown (as I see it) as the token feminine gay guy. It'd be easier to see him as trans if his characterization was different, but judging by how he's written I can't see it as anything more than a joke and it's actually strange to see how many people take it seriously.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-04 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see how Grell being a comic relief character means that the things she says about wanting a sex change and wanting to be addressed as a woman should be ignored. As if it's impossible for a joke character to be trans. "Joke character" =/= "cisgendered joke character".

Ah-hem. And I present to you this quote from the official character guide (translated from the original, obviously):
"Right now, what are you most dissatisfied with? And what would you like to do most?
- Even if you say right now, what I think has been my biggest complaint since birth is that I am not a woman [I think we can read this as -physically-]. Really, I think God made a mistake."

Won't deny he's not there for comic relief much of the time.
