Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Deryn is not trans, she's a girl who loves flying and the only way to do that during the war and after her family already lost someone during a flight accident is to enlist. The only way to enlist is to be a boy, so she pretends to be one. It's the same argument for making Mulan a trans* character, but that doesn't make it canon.

Deryn has never thought of herself as male, and it's shown through the chapters from her POV always referring to her as a girl and with female pronouns. The only times she gets referred to in narration with male pronouns is when the POV character thinks she is a boy. Apping Deryn as trans is pretty much throwing her canon identity out the window, and even if it's AU, that's a pretty terrible misrepresentation of a character and an identity.
