One Piece Fandom Heats Up Following Yamato's Gender Update
One Piece isn't the kind of story you'd expect to court controversy, but it has more often than [...]
Status Quo
Vivre cards is a “disappointed but not surprised” situation. But personally it doesn’t change how I have and will continue to view Yamato.

Say It Louder
Trans people deserve to be treated with respect no matter what, even if Yamatos gender is confirmed as F this doesn't give an excuse to be transphobic. There was no issue in trans people believing Yamato was representing them

Free, Free, Free
Yamato's vivre card announcement is not the 'ha gotcha, i told you so' moment the dudebros think it is, I don't understand why'd you'd be happy about a community missing out on representation. It costs 0 not to be horrid.

Let It Be Known
Regarding Yamato’s Vivre Card: they apparently list Kiku and Yamato’s sex, not gender. Also, -please- do not take the Vivre Cards as gospel. The only canon is the manga, and that will always be true. Oda does not write the VCs. Mistakes are OFTEN made.
