This one seems really shakey.

There could be Applicability if there's discussion of their reactions to taking on the appearance of another gender- say, one of them feels a sense of dysphoria at seeing a masculinized version of themselves in the mirror, or there's ZigZagging of the Third Law of Gender-Bending like supposedly "out of character" behavior being accepted without suspicion while the tomboy's normal habits blow their cover by seeming overly stereotypical.

If the objections are more about "The minimal changes clearly indicate some form of negative commentary on transgender individuals", that'd fall into Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory, maybe even What Do You Mean, It's Not Didactic? or Everyone Is Satan in Hell territory depending on how vehement responses get.

I actually have no idea what this is actually trying to say, personally.

I don't understand,either. I looked at the image and don't know what is wrong. The only thing the same is hair color, as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure I understand the question either.

"Little change between their masculine form and feminine form, even when being Transgender should mean there are some changes that can't be disguised."

Aside from the fact that the characters are using science fiction-y disguises, rather than being trans (which has nothing, directly, to do with appearance)...what's this meant to mean? Plenty of trans people "pass" (or pass some of the time, or could pass but choose not to...and so on)...

I think we can consider this closed.
