Whether Luka is trans or not (the anime uses "he" in all the timelines where the character is physically male, and Luka even says "I can't have feelings for you if I'm male," which implies the characters/creators are kind of conservative and/or don't really know anything about that stuff imo), the personality is awfully one-dimensional, and it makes no sense that Luka talks about wanting to be more masculine when literally wearing a hair pin and a choker. It's one thing to have issues with that and your personality conflicting with traditional images of masculinity, but it's another altogether for your expressed values to contradict themselves over and over again in the story. Like, why not use female pronouns if you want to be viewed as female? People mention gender transitions at some point IIRC, so it's not like that's not a known thing. And if it's just embarrassment that keeps you from doing that, why would you be dressing to intentionally be feminine? It's great if one is comfortable doing that, but given that Luka always reacts negatively when people mistake the character's gender, I find it hard to picture. I feel like the writers just didn't give a sh*t about making the character believable or consistent or any of that, and just wanted to attract people with a fetish for the archetype or something. Also, if it weren't for the gender dysphoria Luka seems to experience, the character would literally just be "shy and feminine." That would be the entire personality.

It looks like most of the people posting in this thread are trolls. What a shame. Anyway...
