I never knew that about Jigen! It was something that didn't even cross my mind, but it makes me happy that so many people saw this interpretation before it was solidified in canon.
The queer experience is something I don't spend much of my own time thinking about, so these sorts of things often go under my radar and I think it was very important that I read this so I could get a better understanding of that blind spot for me! This was very cool, and I think it goes far beyond our relationship with sexuality and gender identity in fiction but towards the broader relationship we have with fiction as a whole (not to discount the importance of the queer lens that this is presented through, of course).
Thanks for giving me a new perspective of things I hadn't considered! Before this was a matter I simply didn't care about at all, but now I think it's a very important part of how we engage with art!
