    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.
