Trans Zuko is so funny to me. I’m not saying this to try and make fun of people who headcanon him as trans - trans headcanons are great and I support them. It’s just wild because it implies Ozai was out here like:

‘I can excuse burning a kid’s face, but I draw the line at misgendering’.

The words ‘burning a kid’s face’ and ‘misgendering’ have been edited in.

Possible explanations I just pulled out of my arse:

• Being trans is very normalised in the Fire Nation and misgendering is considered dishonourable and makes you Look Really Bad.
• Zuko’s transition was convenient because Ozai wanted a male heir.
• Zuko went to the Mother of Faces or whatever the spirit was called to get a new (male) face and body and part of the magic was that his family would only remember the new him.
• Ursa allowed Zuko to transition when he was very young and Ozai just straight up forgot that he used to be a ‘girl’ because he pays no attention to his family.

They pulled the old switcheroo

‘I love the idea that ozai just doesn’t pay that much attention. ok but both his kids are trans now and he doesn’t even know’

He knew he had a son and a daughter, but he couldn’t remember which came first
