^Yeah the artist in the source link confirms that's what it is

^lol true, I couldn't think of a good joke fitting the phrase in

i wonder wether i should reread this. i remember getting quite far into the story but that’s a long time ago. was kinda put on the fence since they looked more like mother and child …

That is hot

^I don't see it personally

I don't know if we even played the same game. It is not clear if Mizuki would like to use she/her pronouns or otherwise, but one thing that is sure is that they are deeply, deeply ashamed of being AMAB. They go into a full-blown panic attack in Mizu5 over a classmate telling Ena about it. If they were just a cis guy, why would they feel such an incredible sense of shame over it? Why would they put so much stock into nightcord seeing them as just one of the girls and be incredibly upset at the idea of their birth sex being discovered by them?

They could be a transwoman, they could be non-binary, we don't know their exact pronouns for sure yet, but to say that they are just a cis dude is completely baffling when the most traumatic point of their story up to this point has been about how traumatic the mere idea of Ena finding out what their birth sex is.

And now I just noticed the 1488 on your username so I guess this whole thing is pointless.

Looking back from now that account did used trolling techniques like sealioning.

^^Well, you can still use Photoshop or something related to this

^^^ Or "Two Monter Want to "Eat" Me"

A fictional trans girl could be screaming to the audience that she's a girl, and you'd still get people like that user debating and insisting that she's a feminine cis boy. Anyone who read through her story and didn't catch the blatant transfeminine themes is either so disgustingly ignorant they're transmisogynistic, or they're the average transphobic troll trying to rile up others by acting ignorant.

Even if she's not a binary trans woman (because trans women can be both women and non-binary), she's still transfem and there's no debating that. That's even putting aside that she was only referred to as 'they' due to the initial reaction to the localization iirc.

(Also, transwoman is a TERF dogwhistle, so be careful not to write it like that. The correct is trans woman.)

^ (I stand corrected, though at this point you'd start wondering if that can still effectively serve as a dogwistle if it can be used by people from the out-group inadvertently.)

Mizuki is happy presenting as a women the whole series and is deeply afraid of being seen as anything else. I feel like being a cross dresser or even non-binary is a bit of a stretch because they very obviously just prefer identifying as the one gender they're presenting as. (though, you can definitely consider them non-binary if you want.)
It really doesn't make sense to use "he" pronouns when Mizuki obviously wants everyone to consider them female or at least non-binary. I mean, their greatest fear is being outed as born male.

@aureole @girlswhokiss I've had a trans lesbian friend legit try to convince me that trans people don't exist in Japan. I didn't even know she was trans until she blocked me over not conceding her point.

And Granblue Fantasy fans insist on calling Cagliostro "uncle" and treating her as a guy even though she's extremely clear about identifying as a woman and threatens violence to anyone who treats her as a guy, including her descendant Clarisse (who is where these people got "uncle" from). Lily from Zombie Land Saga and Bridget from Guilty Gear receive similar treatments.

jesus mary and joseph what in the nazi was that

accurate depiction of their intimacy considering Nina as a whole
