I will admit my initial reaction to those comments was to assume that masterball2 was something to the effect of an "offended snowflake," or whatever your preferred pejorative would be. Particularly, the use of the term "deadname" seemed inherently accusatory, giving me the impression of their being incensed. Under this assumption, my response would have been glib and sarcastic.

However, I resisted this knee-jerk reaction, opting instead to take their comments at face value, and try to respond to them thoughtfully and dispassionately. The resulting back-and-forth seems entirely cordial, completely devoid of the kind of vitriol and accusations that I would expect from someone who could be characterized as a "fucking saltboy"

Trans girls are not intended to be excluded. I didn't want to speculate on the actual gender identity of each character, or whether or not they could be considered transgender or transsexual. Each term is not meant to apply to each character, though multiple may apply to some characters. The uniting characteristics for all of these characters is that they look significantly feminine, have a penis, no significant breasts, and no vagina. Oh, and I guess I should clarify that I would use the terms boy/girl and man/woman to refer to gender, while male/female refers to sex.
The term "tomgirl" is in contrast to the term "tomboy," so a tomgirl is a boy who acts more feminine, while still considering himself a boy. 
A trap is a male who gives the impression of being a girl (whether identifying as one or not), has a penis and doesn't have significant breast development, if any.
Crossdresser could refer either to males who dress as girls, or more narrowly to boys who dress as girls; I don't think it matters which in this case.
I have no idea what you mean by "sueboy."
I was under the impression that "Ferris" was a nickname, with Felix Argyle still being his proper name, and that he still refers to himself as male. I could be incorrect about this (especially with the confusion of translation thrown into the mix, and the fact that Japanese doesn't often refer to people with gendered words), but as it's a work of fiction, it could simply be a matter of interpretation, meaning it can't really be definitively proven one way or another. This applies to all of the characters. I think it's pretty clear that Astolfo considers himself male, but you could argue otherwise. Certainly, using the word "boku" doesn't necessitate viewing yourself as male, and I don't know how much of my perception is colored by the whims and/or mistakes of the translators.

saying "tomgirl" is like saying "sueboy"  How so? A girl named Tom is like a boy named Sue. 
Astolfo is a trans girl because she refers to herself as a maiden.

I remember him saying something about having "the heart of a maiden," or something like that. But he jokes around a lot. Because he's a funnier character than we've had before. He also says "For no man can show as much a lack of restraint as I, Astolfo!" I've always seen the source material refer to him as "he," so I'm content to stay in-line with that. Honestly, I get the impression that he doesn't really care either way.

I still don't know what point you're trying to make with "sueboy." "Tomgirl" isn't just a term I made up, and "tomboy" certainly isn't. It's not referring to a girl named "Tom." She don't enter into it.
Though now that I read that, I'm realizing it would make more sense if "tomboy" was something like "sueboy" because "Tom" is already a boy's name, so putting together a girl's name like "Sue" with the word "boy" would make more sense for what the term means. But etymology is a bitch. Following the same line, "tomgirl" actually makes more sense in its construction than "tomboy," but merely by accident, because it's only constructed that way to be immediately recognizable as the other side of the coin with respect to the well-established word "tomboy"

You didn't catch the reference. I said "a boy named Sue"

I was unaware of Hoshino Daruku getting a sex change operation. For what it's worth, she is depicted here before that occurred. She certainly has a package in the anime. I've seen a clip where Tensai says of her, "Daruku is not a boy (otoko no ko), he's [sic] a trap (otoko no musume/ko)." I would agree that Watarase Jun and Vivian are trans girls. I disagree with Kanzaki Hideri, and I'm not even sure if she considers herself female. It seems like they're going for the typical Japanese thing where they skirt (no pun intended) around transgenderism, with the whole "I'm cute and look good in girl's clothes" thing. But I've only watched up to like episode 6 or 7 of Blend S.

"trap" is a mistranslation

Not if you use a definition like the one I gave. 男の娘 is usually translated as "trap" because that's an English term which was developed to refer to the same thing. It doesn't exactly have a direct translation. It's a modification of 男の子, which means "boy," replacing the kanji for "child" with the kanji for "daughter." On the Japanese image site Pixiv it's translated as "femboy," which is a more literal translation

The most literal translation is "male daughter"

oh,and ruka janai,lukako desu. Lukako is an extremely timid trans girl. Sure,Okabe calls Lukako male,but Okabe is a jerk. also,why is Mitsunaga being referred to as "she"? Laplace is the original name of Lapras.

Eh, I guess it makes more sense to refer to Mitsunaga as "he." I know virtually nothing about Steins;Gate. I haven't seen Urushibara referred to as "Lukako." I just know she looks pretty and sweet

I did. I also left out Fujisaki Chihiro from Danganronpa, Hanase Kaoru from Tamako Market, Forrest from Fire Emblem, Oda Mitsunaga from Himegoto (which I really regret now because she's always left out; I was only gonna do Kaguya but then it was too easy not to do Hime), Chung Seiker from Elsword, Urushibara Ruka from Steins;Gate, Kobayashi Yoshio from Game of Laplace, and many more. I was originally only gonna do 28 and ended up with 32; I couldn't keep adding
