I don't think any of us think it's intentional,but nevertheless the scene provoked a familiar discomfort

As a trans person, I am REALLY REALLY uncomfortable equating Kylo Ren with a trans experience whatsoever.

But the thing is everyone who got this thinks it's unintended. But it's not really possible to deny the uncomfortable parallels

I don’t like this argument because my ex told me my name was too fancy to be a valid transition change, tbf.

It's not that "Kylo Ren" is a silly name it's that in-universe it's a cult name
