I rambled a little because I've got strong emotions on this one, haha. Dirk is always trans in my mind, and it causes crazy amplifiers to his toxic masculinity mindset.

Me and my sister who is as dumb as a sack o' rocks but we love her anyways.

I had a whole lot of thoughts about this, oops. TLDR; I see why out of sexuality shipping is a divisive topic, especially with people who have seen some of their favorite characters have their sexualities disrespected and ignored, but I think there could be something there if it was handled gently.
