This divide symbol ÷ is called an obelus. It was first used for mathematical division by Swiss Mathematician Johann Rahn in his 1659 book Teutsche Algebra (meaning "German Algebra"). Before that, it was a symbol used in the hand-copying of documents to indicate that some passage might need to be removed; the process was called obelism. The obelus is a common division sign in English, but can be unknown or mean different things in cultures that don't speak English.

Y'know, between moments like these in the original New Mutants (which I'm reading through rn):
And her rightfully infamous "trans-panic" death a while back:
Not to mention how hard basically every transfem I know vibes with werewolves as a whole concept, and how hard Rahne leans into that "beast within" hatred for a part of herself that's still ultimately just part of her, a wonderful girl who deserves to live in peace? Rahne's just trans to me. She's ours.

And now, perhaps the nichest shitpost I have ever made.
I spent way too long on this and it still looks bad lol.
(If you count adaptations, then Dani actually has two and Pryde has three, as X-Men Evolution made Dani and Kitty the pair with a soul-bond... I want more soul-bonds in X-Men adaptations. Give us more gals who have their souls become intertwined before their first kiss.)

Commission of Mr and Mr Rahn (now that I'm officially done with my own silly joke, who got whose family name in this marriage anyway?) for @ribbonkandy I loved drawing them so much, thank you for letting me run wild with parts of their designs! ❤️
