Wow, it's been a hot minute since I've read something with a character as punchable as the dad here.

wow i shouldn't have read that so early in the morning. im kind of grateful i came out after the family members who would've reacted like that already died so i never had to deal with it, but it still hits way too close to home. i hope she's allowed to be herself by the story's conclusion.

i don't know why i put off reading this so long but going through all the chapters so far in a couple hours was a hell of an experience. definitely subscribed now. i love how flawed and multifaceted everyone is, like they truly feel like real people that we get this window to peek in at. current arc with her little... sister, i guess? is very compelling, and i want that kid's dad to get the shit kicked out of him asap.

also very much appreciate how grounded and realistic the age gap dynamic is, and how they're both childish and mature in ways that often clash. i enjoy age gap yuri a LOT but it's rare i read something that portrays it with this much teeth. huge thanks to the scanlators, i'll have to show the author my support too

trans rep in yuri is always so nice to see even if the poor girl is going through hell right now. Xingyuan seems to be supportive of her, and the story is definitely framing her dickhead father as the bad guy so at least she has that going for her

I feel like we do need some kind of phobia tags and/or bigotry for a chapter like this. The warning would be nice with how hard this chapter is to read.

I mean, we knew these parents were bad, but not that bad... Although based on the flashback bit, mom at least did care about the daughter they gave away, unlike the rest of the family doing their worst to convince her to give it a rest.

I think the mother might care but doesn't know how to speak up or act against the other members of the family, usually due to family hierarchy, and I'm guessing this is a very patriarchal family. Not to say that lets her off the hook but it could explain her circumstances at least.

I'm reminded of the recently translated Homecoming story and the epilogue.

xiaoyang save ur sibling

author please have xiaoyang stop referring to herself with male terms this is clearly a woman

Punch transphobe. Annihilate.

Those parents are complete assholes. Xiaoyang is my favorite character of this series, so it's nice to finally reach these chapters.

She also never really gets a word in during this scene and looks just as scared to speak up.

I think the author/character/person decides that (and I don't think Xiaoyang changes what language they use or how they see themselves).

Oh my god I'm so glad our mc is no longer part of that pathetic toxic family I hope her brother can also find his way to get out of that hell hole.

God when I thought I couldn't hate the dad more they throw us back into the depths...

Fell in love with this yuri from day 1 for the hand-drawn watercolor, then the flirty main duo, then the angst, then introducing me to 'brownie band', and now this trans kid arch? Wholesome, troublesome, beautifully done where mc cares for their sibling but it's wrapped up in angst with adoption trauma.

Also im confused >> is haircut scene cirrent? Or is this one big flashback to how we got Xiaoyang (kid) into this town? Looks like the same hair but i might need to go back. If it is a flashback, it sounds like mc already knew their sibling was trans or questioning and had something to do with the cross-dressing booth to help them come out or try femme gender expression publicly.

I want to smack the shit of of the unrecyclable trash dad.

This seems like a flashback?

I know right? When your kid's stupid sexist school is bullying your child with their stupid sexist rules, as a parent it's your fucking job to stand by your kid's side and defend them, not to join in the bullying, you bloody cheesehead scrotumwasher.

Xiaoyang is a favorite of mine. He goes through quite a bit but finds somewhere to be himself and crossdress freely. Xiaoyang's "Call me Great Uncle!" line is funny but also telling since Xiaoyang is clearly expressing himself here; also anything to be like his sister. That friend must go through a daze having to deal with these two siblings though. This town really has become a refuge and place for free expression and that's part of what makes this series tick. Needless to say, their parents such ass.

This seems like a flashback?

It's a flashback to when Xiaoyang first went to find his sister and was taken in by the town. The idea is Xiaoyang has been coming back ever since because the town allows Xiaoyang to crossdress as much as he wants and dress freely whether that's in a skirt or whatever the day decides.
