Apparently not (which is very surprising). Up until this point I was sure Arion was a dude

I'm confused now but I **think** that Arion is transgender and what we saw was him imagining his new body? If so--meh. |

This has been my number 2 series since it debuted nearly 4 years ago but it’s definitely moving in a direction that I am not enjoying in the slightest, which really sucks.

Well now I'm going to have to avail myself of the recent chronological order guide (which I was going to do anyway!), and just go through the whole series until Arion shows up. Because it was my understanding as well that Arion was a dude. |

Found it. Arion is specifically introduced in issue 46 as a boy.
So now I really have no idea. I guess it's the other way around? Arion is biologically female but is a transgender male? I guess.
Have to agree with the poster above, not sure I care for the direction this comic is taking. Thoroughly enjoyed it up to now.

Arion may have been introduced as male, but it's been clear since the start -- clothes, manner -- that they were at least somewhere other than 100 pct on the male end of the gender spectrum. Safe to say I was surprised but not shocked by this.

I’ve been wondering about him for a bit, and for what it’s worth, I’m definitely here for more gender diversity in Mind Control Comics. It’s not a specific kink, but I like see more people represented here, and the characterizations on An Education are always sharp.

I'm by no means an expert, but I don't think it's unheard of for a lesbian to adopt a masculine look, or even a masculine persona. As I understand it this can be more about attracting the people you want to attract and not attracting the people you don't want to attract, than about any aspiration to be a man.

It's not the worst thing in the world. It's just one comic, and there are other comics. Some I like, some I don't. Looking forward to "The Ring Cycle", "The In-Law Unit", "Starter Marriage", and others. And as you say, while some folks don't like this, others will. But I have been liking this comic, for a long time, and going through that chronological guide to find the introduction of Arion reminded me why. And now I like it a lot less, and that is a bummer. |

Honest question: Given what we know from #72, what direction is that? |

I think he was replying to myresponse with this, so I'd be happy to answer. I'm a very basic M/F or M/F/F guy and this series has been exactly that for as long as it's been around which is why I've loved it so much. But the last 2 issues have first hinted at M/M/F activity then made it very ambiguous what his gender might be. That's why I said I'm not loving the direction the series is heading. Also, like I said before, I'm sure there are those on here who will enjoy that, and that's fine, but not me.
