(loved trope) Trans characters who do not/cannot pass but everyone still respects their identity

[u/altrightobserver]

• Lev from The Last of Us Part II: Lev is a trans boy who cannot medically transition due to being in a zombie apocalypse with a fascist government, yet the main cast in the story supports and affirms him as male.
• Denise Bryson from Twin Peaks: A trans woman DEA and FBI agent. She does not pass in the series, which is an integral part of her character; her boss simply tells people who don't like it to "fix their hearts or die."
• Cordelia from Vinland Saga: As a trans woman living in Northern Europe during the Viking age, it is impossible for Cordelia, who has a hulking, muscular figure, to transition to female. But despite not looking the part physically, everyone is cool with it and refers to her as female.
• Ladiva from Granblue Fantasy: A pro wrestler who makes no attempts to pass (save for hair) and is still beloved by the cast as a maternal figure, serving as a stark contrast to her species' women who are petite.

Yep

I never thought people like Deadpool or Wolverine would have issues like that

It makes sense if the explanation of the healing factor is that it takes your DNA as a "blueprint".

Related, this means Logan and Wade must be canonically uncircumcisable

"Why are there seven charges for circumcision? I just changed his diaper and he's not cut"

"Yeah, that's kinda why. Cash or card?"

[u/GVmG → u/metroid1310]

seems kinda painful to attempt circumcising someone with a paper bill, but is it worse to try using a credit card?
