[overheaven]

thank you for the encouragement @liamgallaghermpreg :3c some brief points about bigender Majima that i was marinating since making the more casual post:

>reclaims own masculinity by cutting his hair short and growing facial hair; keeps this look for decades even when fashion changes, so we might infer comfort and/or enjoyment of the style

>performs feminine caricature of self as a goof yes but also that goof was done with time and care, evidenced by the extremely customized outfit tailored to her own fit and favored patterns, was not fazed or challenged by wearing short dress & heels

>whole character is about exaggeration, performance, and radical change of the self after a period of deep trauma, discomfort, and being trapped

everything comes back to Goromi and how i don’t think that was just a bit to be a menace to Kiryu lol. buuuut at the same time, i don’t see Majima as struggling with masculinity/wanting to transition away from masculinity, (s)he’s moreso trapped by broader social expectations that the yakuza lifestyle puts on him and such. the shift after Y0 is Majima’s self-actualization, and that step is just as important to my read of Majima’s gender as Goromi is in Kiwami 1. i think there are a good deal of things about being masculine and feminine that are euphoric for him! but also, i don’t see her as nonbinary, Majima is VERY LOUD and ASSERTIVE when claiming identity. not that you can’t be loud and assertive about being nonbinary or even having no gender, but i think Majima is the opposite of that where (s)he leans in HARD to both ends of this spectrum… all in a really personal, eccentric way, too, of course! he’s not adhering the social standards of how proper men should dress and behave, but also she’s not the most ladylike woman who shaves all her body hair crosses her ankles. (s)he’s just unhinged in all directions and full of her own brand of gender 💖⚧️🐍
