We read a bunch of Shōjo manga
Content Warning: Most of these have trans & gender nonconforming
individuals who, whilst handled well by the standards of the era
their respective books, are not great by modern standards. Fushugi
Yugi also depicts rape and other forms of sexual violence in
particularly regressive ways. We don't delve too deeply into this
subject in the episode but if you were considering reading the
subject matter before listening to the episode please be aware.
