For some bizarre reason, the creator of this shit apparently insists that Irene Adler "chose to live as a man" in the original Conan-Doyle story...
There is zero evidence to back that up. Zero. And I have actually read the damn books... Everything in there suggests quite the opposite. Her character wouldn't even work, otherwise, given that her being a woman is the whole point of her being written in there...
Fuck I wish degenerates would cease to attempt to claim "historical legitimacy" by stealing away obviously straight, obviously "cis" historical characters and stories like this. That's just plain evil.
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.

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
