@Ruuyia's post on Artfol

So I've been thinking and I would love to ask to those who follow my comic Espero, since I'm exploring different arguments depending on the platform I post my story, that since the story will develop into a romantic plot where the main female protagonist will fall in love with another woman, that maybe the main antagonist will change his own gender into a woman as well in order to be more attractive to the protagonist.

Since the antagonist is a gender fluid entity, this is something completely possible. In fact, the rest of the story he will remain as she, hehe.

What do you think? Should I change the main antagonist's gender?

In the other comic I post in Faneo this won't happen and he'll remain as a man, haha.
I like the idea of a female antagonist.
I would prefer he remains as a man.

If I'm being perfectly honest, i think i'm not against the idea, but it's seems like a very sensitive thing. Like, I know a bit about tropes related to lgbt+ people, and the idea itself makes perfect sense to me, but the associations I have are not great, sadly. For a moment it makes me worried because there's some tropes like "lesbian predator" and "trans woman predator/scary crossdresser" that are best to avoid, and they can still be present if you didn't intend them, but at the same time, I know that you have trans women and queer women in your story, so I think it's the matter of how you write their actions and feelings as opposed to Humn's. Humn shapeshifting to try and get Cali's attention feels very in-character to me tbh, and if her friends that share some traits with Humn (trans and female especially) are actively on her side, it could make for a very interesting story. I'm sorry if this sounds like a lecture, but that is pretty much all I have. Maybe you've thought about it already idk
.sounds interesting!
Me when villanas mujeres 🛐🛐🛐 (aunque Huhm me seguirá cayendo mal sea del género que sea xd tan solo que me gusta cuando las mujeres también les dejan ser malas, y si es género fluido, pos que fluya)
me encanta la idea! Definitivamente suena a que haría cualquier cosa para conquistarla 🤭 Aparte, adoro un icono genderfluid!! (aunque sea uno detestable, jaja) ✨ sería genial verle intercambiar entre presentarse de manera femenina y masculina
I really love the idea of the antagonist changing his gender in an attempt to win the protagonist! It does make sense for him as a deity to be able to do it and I think it’s very likely for Humn to do it (also it’s not something you see a lot in comics in general)
By the way, this is what he'll looks like.
