I don’t hitnk you understand how happy I am to be able to see my flipnotes again. I thought they were lost a long time ago but now I can view them. And remember all the friends I made, remember where my characters came from and the like.
I don’t think you understand how much of an impact flipnote had on me. Flipnote is why I have the characters I have today. Flipnotes is why all my usernames have “dark link” somewhere in them because on flipnote, I went by dark link. Flipnote is so important to me and I am so happy that i’m able to have them back.

Okay so I get this, but I also don’t. A horse with a cardboard unicorn horn vs a transwoman’s wig being taken off seems like a very distant comparison to me…
I read somewhere that they meant to have this horse wanting to be a unicorn represent a trans woman/gender issues to like teach the issue in an easy to understand way for kids apparently not realizing how ridiculous the way they went about it is. So when you think about the horse as a trans woman and the horn as a wig and buttercup taking the horn off in the way she did…/:
i see it as a comment on how feminization surgery isnt necessary in order to feel like a woman.
theres a difference between gender reassignment, and a softening of the jaw, implants, etc.
Well I, as a trans woman, see it as them telling us that we should accept what we were born as, as opposed to what we actually are.
I GOT MY OLD FLIPNOTES BACK!
PREPARE TO SEE SHIT I AM STILL PROUD OF AND WHY CERTAIN THINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO ME!

Normally I would agree, however, the writers themselves said that donny represents a transgendered person.
In addition to shattering old tropes and kick-punching dated ideas, the new “Powerpuff Girls” will also address issues of gender and identity. One upcoming episode in particular touches on ideas of gender identity – a topic open to conversation even in animated shows, thanks to programs such as “Steven Universe,” which explores gender fluidity and rejects established gender norms.
“We did an episode where there’s a unicorn. Basically when it starts out, he’s a pony, but he wants to be a unicorn,” Jennings explained. “He has to go through a transformation to become a unicorn and so it’s a whole [episode that asks], ‘What are you on the inside? What are you on the outside? How do you identify yourself? How do people see you?’ There’s a lot of subtext in that.”
