Doesn't the symbol on her shirt mean she was castrated?

I think the word you were looking for was spayed?

Hard to castrate a female.

I know what I said, I looked up the symbols they use, that is the symbol for castration, it's like a mars symbol, but barred. The one for spaying (?) is like the Venus symbol, but without the little horizontal line

Edit: apparently, there's also a Venus symbol but barred, I don't know if they have different meanings

Makes sense. Both the Venus and the other usually are used to indicate to indicate reproductive organ removal, Venus for female, Mars for male.

I clicked the user provided context links before I saw your comment and saw the artist refers to the character as she/her. No idea if the symbol is to indicate transition or has more of a feminism connotation.

Edit: Based on the website that was selling the shirt, they don't know what it means either.

It is and I appreciate you pointing that out because I want to be inclusive. Assuming you're referring to trans-women I would argue that's not castration as a trans-woman is a woman with or without testicles and castration is defined as removing the testicles from a man/male. I like to think of bottom surgery as a biological correction.

I’m not getting involved with definitions and it’s why I left all that out

I’m just saying seeing tits is not a perfect indicator that castration is not relevant in that comic

I have no idea who that character is but animal ears and tits put the likelihood of a dick on that character around 66% based on my internet experience

Yeah, I clicked the context links and the artist refers to the character as she.
