Iono - Possible Trans representation?

Stuffing her shirt probably wouldn't work out well, her movements are way too dynamic in her streams, so they'd probably fall out. Also her shirt underneath the jacket is pretty skintight so it wouldn't look natural if she was just stuffing.
There's this great invention called a bra that would help with both of those problems.
 
if she is trans, we'll probably only pick up on it through some obscure npc dialogue, if at all. which is good; i don't really like it when a series makes a character's queerness a central aspect of their character. it should only come up when it's relevant, and an opponent's gender identity really isn't relevant to a random challenger.
 
If they ever include a transgender character I hope they will do better than "How I became a Pokemon Card" because that old manga didn't age well. There is a lot of cissexism in that manga and the mother doesn't respect the protagonist and his choices/pronouns. This mindset isn't challenged at all.
