Rem is 17-19. I think 9 was a bit of an exaggeration. ...but yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the maid outfits. My honest thoughts, I think it stems from patriarchal ideas of what constitutes the core aspects of what it means to be a woman....an over sexualized cook and cleaner. A lot of trans women struggle with wanting any attention at all, even gross comments from misogynists because it validates their gender expression. It was covered in Pose (2018) pretty extensively for anyone wanting media that talks about the trans experience.

Yeah, I can see that for sure.

I don't like the mini version "she's one thousand years old in the lore, she just looks like a kid" tho. I know some of you that see art like this more regularily might not see this the same because of what you've self normalized, but that right there is a preteen with slightly exaggarated breasts, and adding boobs to a child doesn't make fetishization of the other features of them any more exusable. (I know you aren't saying it is btw, it's a general statement)
