Panel 1: A herald blows his horn.

Oh, another evil queen turned into a caricature of a transwoman? Tsk, tsk, Tatsuya. Don’t overuse it, lest people think you’ve run out of creativity. And/or a fetish for powerful evil aristocrat shemale dommie mommies.
PS:
The Queen of Hearts in a game by former id Software programmer American McGee. No doubt he was inspired by Lewis Carroll. That name: Carroll.
Considering an American who raced AC Cobras at 180+ MPH on the M1 decades ago which inspired a politician who wasn’t a man to make the 70 MPH speed limit on UK’s motorways law, is ‘Carroll’ purely a woman’s name, Tatty…?!
Panel 3: The protagonist is in a crowd watching the spectacle. Protagonist says “That ain’t no queen” and “That’s a man”.
I guess he’s never read the “Xanth” fantasy series by Piers Anthony. Among the humans of the land of Xanth, there’s an old custom or law that says the ruler of Xanth is the King…but it was decided in one of the earlier books that there was nothing that said the King had to be male. So, they’ve had at least two female Kings, and a male Queen (he was King, but got tired of it, so his wife took over the position, lol)
More context: This takes place a bit before the Goyslop / Tante Emma Wirtshaus strip, and this is the same German Peasant Boy.
Panel 4 probably isn’t meant to be “trans caricatures” but woke wojacks. The swoopy colored hair and piercings is his way of indicating “wokeness”. The fact that various LGBTQIA+ caricatures sometimes have them as well is (probably) separate from their LGBTQIA+ status.
This isn’t the first time that a cloud of wojacks showed up to shout someone down, but the first time they had “woke” hair and piercings.
Incidentally Snow White and the Prince died (or appeared to), got revived by the power of love or something, were kicked out of the Prince’s castle because the Bishop (same one who said “How can you fight the Foreigner when you Worship one”) didn’t approve of them marrying, and then they just kind of disappeared, and stuff just sort of continued in this anachronistic faux-Bavaria.

There’s so many examples of this that there’s a TV trope for it.
Quoting that article…
When a woman reigns, or otherwise holds some position of power or importance, she may do so with a masculine title and all of the authority that goes with it, instead of using the title's feminine equivalent. The most common version of this takes the trope name literally (a female monarch titled as "King" instead of "Queen"), but there are many other gender-specific titles that can be used instead.
This might be because:
- The ruler in question is actually a woman disguised as a man.
Just gender invert all of that for this situation.
Confused?
