So... if somebody finds the words to define what they've always felt was off about them, and that just happened to be inspired by a shitty comic... that's a problem?

Where do we draw the line, I ask you? What if they figured it out from other shitty media? What if it was watching Soapdish?

My theory is that it's an error in communication and that the OP got irked by the idea of someone saying that they "deciding to be trans" rather than someone seeing the comic and getting the courage to come out/realizing their true feelings/having a wake up call or anything else that means awakening of what was always there. You know what I mean? Stuff gets poorly worded all over the internet, especially feelings. Usually "it sounds like you're saying X, is that what you're saying?" usually clears things up (and would avoid a lot of arguments).

Not OP, but I think their problem wasn't with people who did "find the words," as you say, but rather with those who just thought it was "cool" or whatever. I dunno. I felt like it had a little subtext of "Tom isn't really trans," which is a whole 'nother kettle of fish, but this is the internet, so I might be completely misreading it.

Basically I don't know. I'll shut up now.

I haven't read the comic or anything, but what the secret brought to my mind was the type of fans who decide they're trans basically on a whim for fun. Sort of like the (generally young teen) otaku-kin fans, or the girls who get way into yaoi roleplaying and crossplaying with their friends.

The sort of people who "are totes Axel and Roxas reincarnated!"

I might be misunderstanding the secret maker, though. I've just seen way too many immature fans come trampling into trans* spaces over the years to not be skeptical of anyone who is "x because of this character"

You have just described more than half of the fans of that particular comic! Congrats!
