At first, I thought the original original post was just arbitrarily using the Pokémon franchise to platform for transgender people, but the OP has modified a pre-fab model of a male Pikachu to turn it into a female Pikachu by adding the two bumps at the end of the tail. The gender dimorphism between Pikachu is fairly obscure knowledge so I can see why somebody might miss the point of that post.
I want to also note that this is something that actually happened in the show. There’s a particular Pikachu (not Ash’s) that shows up with a paper heart taped to their tail.
So, the show was already saying trans rights, this dumbass just didn’t notice.
From what I can find, it seems like that may have been Ash’s Pikachu in disguise with a cross-dressing Ash to enter a women’s only organization. It’s possible that there was another instance but I’m not seeing it. This article and the Trivia section of this article may be informative about the history of changing gender expressions in the shows and games.
