unfortunately I don't think Roy mustang could live down the fact he grew up in a brothel if he were a girl... it's one thing to have a reputation of playing around with prostitutes and an entirely different thing to have rumors that you ARE a prostitute. not saying that it therefore becomes impossible to achieve what he did in canon only that it becomes far far far more difficult because people are going to use that to discredit him rather than not seeing him as a threat, because a woman rising in the ranks of a male dominated system is already a threat period. and also I think the sexual harassment he would experience would be insane

#just thinking thoughts...#like olivier is from a very privileged background that's squeaky clean #and i think that's part of the reason why she could rise up so high in the ranks #everything is stacked against her so she needs extra things going right in order to be where she is #i don't think we see many female alchemists period aside from mei chang who is from an entirely different culture #even riza's dad didn't want to pass on his knowledge of alchemy to her... passing it THROUGH her instead #so i find it deeply unlikely that roy would still be the flame alchemist in this timeline #anyways. sorry for rambling
