Bisexuality is so throughly erased by our society--especially among men--that just not assuming a character is bi or jumping to the conclusion that someone is a monosexual gay person just harms the bi community more.
Even among the Ls and the Gs the Bs are considered fucking black sheep. Hell, everyone who isn't cisgay or cishet is a black sheep because cishets will acknowledge cisgay people first and foremost before bisexual people because they're monosexuals, too.
Anyway, Trunks is bi. :p

So you like 100 percent missed the point I was makingPeach wrote: Wed Sep 07, 2022 9:45 amUnless indicated otherwise, I usually don't assume bi, pan, ace, etc. It's possible and if that's your head canon, great. If your interpretation truly helps you enjoy the character more or helps you have fun, nothing wrong with that.MasenkoHA wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:33 amWhile I agree with you that he's intended to be straight (because I'm not convinced Toriyama is aware of any sexuality other than straight or gay) being with a woman doesn’t negate him being bi or pan.Trouser wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:37 am He's straight. He is meant to be with Mai no matter the timeline, as we all saw in Dragon Ball Super, both manga and anime.

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
I would imagine 99% of the cast is probably heterosexual. The series is written by a baby boomer in a country that doesn't have the best take on LGBTQ+ stuff from what I've read.

hence why i headcanon trunks as pan lol + this is my comfort character as a pan person i get to choose their orientation and identity /joking reference

i view most of the cast as at least a little bit queer.. except for oolong and roshi lol the cishet people can keep those two
Dilo/Volt/Kareol/Zhadio -- Demiromantic pansexual demiboy (transmasc non-binary; goes by he/him, they/them, xe/xem/xyrs and raptorself pronouns!! to see more of my preferences regarding gender, sexuality and pronouns, click here!
dilo is pronounced dye - low, kareol is pronounced kah - rey - ohl (like bowl) and zhadio is pronounced zah - dee - ohh for those who may have trouble pronouncing my names! ^^")
autistic digital artist who likes drawing creatures and monsters and also they really like dragon ball lol (i may post dragon ball related oc art as well.. cuz i've done that a few times)
since i'm used to the lgbtq+ focused side of the fandom, those are usually the kind of topics youll see me post in if any of those pop up : o bc i have a pretty queer reading of the series ^^"
oh, you don't know what neopronouns are all about? well, have a resource for that!!
want to know how to use tone indicators to help out neurodivergent people to understand your words better? click here!
if you see me randomly type a bunch of letters like SDHFJFJGHD, thats just a thing in the lgbtq+ community called keysmashing which is usually used to show someone is laughing (either nervously or bluntly and so on and so forth)
if you need any help learning about lgbtq+ terms and such, feel free to ask! i will try my best to help out ^^
goten and trunks are gay and trans ♥
