  I know what I said, I looked up the symbols they use, that is the symbol for castration, it’s like a mars symbol, but barred. The one for spaying (?) is like the Venus symbol, but without the little horizontal line

    Makes sense. Both the Venus and the other usually are used to indicate to indicate reproductive organ removal, Venus for female, Mars for male.

    I clicked the user provided context links before I saw your comment and saw the artist refers to the character as she/her. No idea if the symbol is to indicate transition or has more of a feminism connotation.

    It is and I appreciate you pointing that out because I want to be inclusive. Assuming you’re referring to trans-women I would argue that’s not castration as a trans-woman is a woman with or without testicles and castration is defined as removing the testicles from a man/male. I like to think of bottom surgery as a biological correction.

      I’m not getting involved with definitions and it’s why I left all that out

      I’m just saying seeing tits is not a perfect indicator that castration is not relevant in the medium of art

      I have no idea who that character is but animal ears and tits put the likelihood of a dick on that character around 66% based on my internet experience

        Yeah, I clicked the context links and the artist refers to the character as she.
