This is a character confessional written by Yana Toboso in which Grell is referred to as a woman by herself and by the author. Her greatest disappointment was not being born a woman, she wishes she could get a “sex change" and even says it’s the thing she wants most.
Grell Sutcliff is a transsexual woman in a time period where transitioning is not possible. She is not a flamboyant gay man. This is canon. USE HER FUCKING PRONOUNS.
Thank you for this as a set. I’ve been arguing this point with some friends forever.
So much love for an actual transsexual anime character
*incoherent noises* YAY SO MUCH JOY OVER THIS! This was already my personal headcanon for Grell, nice to see that it’s actually canon :)
