"Princess Turdina" and the trans-Marco theory! As a quick summary of the episode, this is the one where Marco reveals that he was faking his "Turdina" persona. I believe, and stated in my edits, that this episode goes a long way towards joshing the TMT, as it is entirely about Marco refusing to lie about who he is to please other people, including at the end of the episode stating quite clearly "I am a boy".

User GREGOLE disagrees with my assessment, sending a PM to me with their arguments as to why. They believe that Marco has Imposter Syndrome, and claims that the the events of the episode where standard to trans people and thus strengthen the theory. I'll point them here so they may state their argument more elegantly.

For now, I'd like to propose a fairly neutral and hopefully not too wordy rewrite that hits both major points:

The episode "Princess Turdina" once again bring up the persona, with Marco eventually revealing his true identity to the public. Some claim that this josses the theory (Marco's claim to being true to himself includes stating "I am a boy"), while others claim this is just an example of Imposter Syndrome* and that Marco could still be trans.

  • Possible explanatory link to save space.

There's no argument to be had. A cis person says "this person cannot be trans because X" and a trans person says "Actually, I went through exactly X", and the cis person is refusing to defer to the judgment of someone who objectively knows more than them about the subject.
