I know I will get a lot of hate and downvote. But, I really don’t care I’m just stating my opinion (some facts). Grill isn’t a good transgender icon. Reasons why is the why their are written compare to great trans characters like Hange/Hanji (From Attack on Titans). Hanji (I’m talking about the manga not the anime) mostly use neutral pronouns, some feminine and masculine pronouns here and there. So, It feel genuine that Hange is Non-Binary/Genderqueer. With Grell it feels like the author doesn’t care. Like, Grell referencing to themselves as a female is a joke and meant to be taken as a joke. I doesn’t feel genuine. Everyone keeps using he/him pronouns for Grell in the Manga/Anime. For Hanji solution they mess up in the Anime and only use She/Her pronouns. But, in the Manga they use They/Them and other characters never discuss Hange gender in the AOT storyline they just use those pronouns. The author does bring up and say “Not to use gendered pronouns for Hanji” I love Isayama so much! The author for Black Butler never talk about Grell gender and never said if Grell is a Transwoman. That’s why I feel like Grell isn’t a great Trans icon. I can’t say that their a Transwoman because I feel like is disrespectful to actual trans people. Because of the way their were written.
