The defense/reason Utena is lesbian because of her having heavy trauma related with various men is a biphobic statement and completely ignores that bi women can and do face abuse from various men in their lives as well but we aren't ready to talk bout that yet I think!

#candyredtext #been stewing on this forever but last night w girls talking bout utena discourse #n how like no one seems 2 fucking understand the show and its characters n themes #abysmal #anyway anthy n utena are the bi/lesbian couple for the toxic yuri square.#right along with bubblegum/marceline #anyway tho let me also say cus ik the reading on this site is piss poor #but u can hc utena as a lesbian thats fine #but trying to say she is canonically / heavily coded to be lesbian due to her trauma around men is #ignoring the bi women who also have trauma with men as well #like hell im a bi woman with trauma related to men - some similar to Utena.#my two bi friends with similar issues also v much see themselves in Utena and her experiences #utena can be lesbian. she could be bi. but her trauma w men doesn't define one or the other solidly #does that make sense? i hope so.#anyway
