The manga is called Moriarty the Patriot. It's some "askshully what if Moriarty was the good guy" and grafts James Bond fanfiction onto the Sherlock Holmes fanfiction. It pretty much gives no fucks about canon and yes, it's saying the character is trans.
What I saw of it, it reads like “trans man wish fulfillment”…
But also, the fans insist that she isn’t actually trans, and is really just a bisexual crossdresser taking advantage of the situation…
Which… Makes me hate the wiki even more, I guess..?
Female crossdressers, while ick, are far less ick than what the wiki implies… Or indeed, people in general (so women and trannies, mainly) who insist that “deadnaming” is a real thing, lol.
Irene Adler, yes. That is to say, the one prominent woman in the original novels (and I wouldn’t say she is particularly “prominent”, there, either, as she only features *once)…
Who Conan-Doyle marries off (to a man, obviously, lol) and sends away to a different country, by the end, anyway, lol.
But yeah, Irene Adler. So… Rachel McAdams in the movies, or Natalie Dormer in Elementary (sort of).
Ohh. Ok. I read the come Sherlock stories a long time ago and now vaguely remember. So I take it that manga isn’t good or it’s other people pushing this crap
Based as in there are characters who are smart and share names from with the lexicon of Holmes. But that's about it. Think of knock-off t-shirts that have a band you like's name on them but nothing to do with the actual band or their art being the name.
The story is based on a Sherlock Holmes story? They are flat out saying a character is trans?

Ohh. Ok. Well that’s enough for me not to want to read it. I’d rather read those books about Sherlock’s younger sister
