If Kiku does identify as a man, that'd be very easy to clarify. This is the first time I've ever seen the linked guidelines. So I'll bring up my suggestion again of calling her They until something is officialized.

(I think the sentence in the personality section should be rewritten to say "Despite being assigned male at birth, Kikunojo identifies herself as a "woman at heart", and thus presents herself in a traditionally feminine manner." After the Whitebeard Pirates left Wano two weeks later, the retainers discovered Oden, Izo, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi to be missing.Nekomamushi and Inuarashi told Kikunojo about Izo's stay with the Whitebeard Pirates. What the authors wiki strange, continue to write "she", although already in a new the head of the that Kiku-Haku and world van Pease.

(Although "they" is considered by some to be the best choice when not assuming gender, that usually is only the case in when you don't know the subject. It is not a mere "opinion".

"Why create another section for the same discussion? He uses a male version of "I", plus the It was a disguise so it had nothing to do with transgenderism.
I know some translations put a "Yes, but..." there, but that is not in the original.

It maybe a hassle to go over past chapters but such research maybe necessary to help things along. "Not just about Kiku, but in general, I highly encourage you to reexamine what qualifies as what a person identifies as. As I said before: if the consensus is that "Kikunojo's gender is unclear", we should be perfectly fine waiting for next chapters for more evidence. The term "samurai" applies only to men.


But I can't comment further on that myself because I don't have extensive knowledge about the Japanese language or LGBT+ in Japan. But I hope that's not what happens; maybe Kin'emon was like that because he didn't want to be seen as a cheater (I mean, looking isn't cheating, but Kiku almost seemed like a girl in love). I'm sure you would have a hard time finding a woman who wants to go around being referred to as a dude, and vice-versa. It's in english and should live up to the standard. So until more cases like Kiku's arise if they do,we should simply gather clues. The character themselves made an open statement on their gender, who are we to say they are wrong? I don't even think it is necessary to make a "transgender" category, that's just overcomplicating things. In advance thank you, if correct gender Kiku on ensured, stop to call his "she" and misinform people not reading manga and still hoping, that this dersonazh girl. After arriving in the future, Kiku began showing a significantly more feminine side, such as wearing red lipstick and dressing more in feminine clothing. We don't need to use the term if it's too modern. Because this is a factual based wiki. I really have no idea how this discussion is taking this long. Also taking into account whatever Oda or Kiku herself have to say on the matter. Even if immediately after that the parents said "I want to raise Kiku as a girl" she was still assigned male when she came out. We don't need to be blatant about it. Yes, I agree with what you suggested. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 04:02, August 4, 2018 (UTC) If that is how he interprets it, I'm very inclined to believe him, unless if there are multiple other opinions from professional translators, or evidence, pointing in another direction... which is not the case at hand. No need to make a "trans" or "okama" (Okama seems to have a different meaning in the OPverse, too, and I think we shouldn't use "Okama" or "Newkama" if it's not in the Vivre Card, or characters don't call themselves such) category, Kikunojo, in this case, would simply be a woman.

And with these brothers the same story.

They didn't mean for it to apply to fiction also nobody would call Usopp that since he's white. Also using Big Mom's use of "Ore" as example is a poor choice since Oda already explain why she uses "Ore" in Okay Groonsenta0r then tell me how female samurais use “I”.

No one refers to any of the seven generations of Kikunojo as "she."

Like Kiku, he was also associated with the Kozuki Family, namely Kozuki Oden, and was one of his retainers. Transgender is a term that may not have existed, but the people did exist.

This is something serious and I don't think such behaviour needs to be repeated; we know better nowadays. (Maybe it's best to wait for Kiku's Vivre Card to go on sale?
