    That’s my boy Flick from Animal Crossing! Everyone’s favourite trans character in the game. (None of them are canonically trans, but there are a few that imply it. Flick, it’s just being a feminine boy. There’s one who is a peacock but has a girl’s name. So with peafowl, you’re mostly familiar with the male, the peacock, it’s got that famous plume of feathers. The female of the species, the peahen, does not have this feature… so if you show me a peacock and say it’s a girl, I’m going to say a Japanese game developer is representing the trans community, rather than a Japanese game developer making a game about animals and preserveation/conservation not knowing the difference. Rather, I think they slipped it by their conservative publishers.

    Not to mention you can change your gender in the game. (But not your name. So be careful with that.)
