Hello, I was thinking to start watching this anime but I've seen is featured in some LGBT stack such as https://myanimelist.net/stacks/44987

So, in which way this is an LGBT anime? What kind of LGBT stuff it has? Is it too heavy?

Depending on this I may decide if watching is worth or not for me... thank you

I say it doesn't belong to that stack to begin with because it's a revenge story so no idea where that person get that idea but it's most likely from the minor characters been a while since I watched it but I definitely don't remember anything remotely Yuri.

I think it was considered LGBT because one of the main character's friends has a magical condition that changes his biological sex, so he can be considered a gender fluid character (but who actually changes his sex).

Don't worry about it, bro. A small subset of mages can change their magical affinities by magically changing their sex, but it's not LGBT stuff.

About half of the entries on that stack doesn't have anything LGBT in it. This one included.
There is like one character that changes his biological sex in a periodical cycle. Author may think this is some sort of "representation" but it's completely fantasy stuff and nothing even slightly similar to that happens in humans in real life.

There may be some supporting LGBT characters in the background like in Skip and Loafer, so I'd give it benefit if the doubt. But Buddy Daddies definitely shouldn't even be there.

Minor Spoilers to this answer

But essentially an entire character Arc is centered around being transgendered and there is an entire society within the show based around gender identity.

It's basically just a set-piece and has such a minor impact I wouldn't really call it an LGBT type show, but it does have some representation. I don't recommend if you're watching purely for LGBT aspects though

Don't be looking at idiotic stacks to begin with. That was your first mistake. The show is probably not worth watching, but yeah.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

What, no. Thats not correct. It would be closer to intersexed than transgender if anything but it isnt that either.

One character can change their gender. They identify as male until this happens. Afterward they still seem to identify as male, but as is the case with way too much anime, once he becomes a girl he does start showing attraction to the MC. I wouldn't call this representation, just a bad trope.

The show starts pretty promising, but goes nowhere fast, and is, as is often the case, ultimately an advertisement for the LN series it's based on. So I wouldn't really suggest it anyway.

I have read 9 volumes of the LN, don’t see any gays, lesbians…

Well, Pete has a larger harem than Oliver due to him being a reversi. XD

EDIT: Maybe tranny Tim? Do trannies count as LGBT?

This is kind of a spoiler, but there is a character that changes genre. It has to do with that person's powers, which allows the person to change genre. That's probably it.

How about the reverse gender happening to students ?

Isn’t that basically what kids today are trying to do?

This puts a “magical” spin on it, so they can address the topic.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

I think it's cuz one of the characters changes his gender (am saying his cuz he's originally a boy born a boy so if he were real he would probably prefer it don't cancell me)

The difference is in this anime they actually changed genders, something you can’t do in real life. I think that’s why people are saying it’s not lgbt

You sure? I'm pretty sure that entire character Arc was that character coming to terms with their physiology and identity. That to me is a classic coming-out LGBT story theme that I considered "Transgendered" since they are the opposite sex of what they had considered themselves originally. Maybe I'm not understanding the difference between "intersexed" and "transgendered" but I'm under the impression that it's basically the same thing since the idea is the individual is no longer cisgendered.
But how would you describe it? I thought my answer was pretty spot on as related to OP's original question

It’s precedent for the second LN and only carries minor plot convince in the third. The anime covers the first three and it’s not really important to the overall plot. Barely comes up through volume 10 and has no baring on the story.

A trans person would potentially relate but that doesnt make the character exactly trans when magic is involved.

But they physiologically become a sex opposite of what they identify as. Whether through magic or surgery the situation would be the same, no?

Well, with all due respect, I consider gender to be a combination of the body, “heart”, mind, and soul.

So because the character retains their same male mind, “heart”, soul, in a female body, it seems similar to what humans are trying to do in reality.

Meaning, finding a way to change the body through different methods, without considering the “heart”, mind. and soul.

There's a character people relate to a transgender but it's not really because the character actually changers his sex and all his biology/DNA, it's not just a mental health condition.

Surprisingly there are medical conditions where individuals have ambiguous sexual features, so transgenderism can sometimes occur due to this and not just because of an identity association, though I do admit it is a very small and niche area.

If during development a genetic male or female (XY and XX chromosomed respectively) sees an insensitivity to their respective sex hormone (i.e. testosterone and estrogen) and/or overproduction of the opposite sex hormone they can have genitalia that appears both male and female. In addition, the hormonal disregulation can cause secondary sexual features (i.e. breast development and facial hair) to appear, further entrenching gender dysmorphia. You sometimes get patients well into their 30s who are still unsure of their sexual identity due to not have their genetics checked and having these physical conditions, and it can lead to a lot of gender identity confusion.
Pretty sure that's not what this show was going for but there is kind of a real world equivalent

Just thought you might find it interesting that there are cases where genetics and medical conditions can play a role in gender identity.

Well, as an anime only, there was at least one gay character as well as potencially one lesbian shown in the anime (the black woman and the blonde kid from carlos and godfrey group).
