Wow thank you once again manga for your thrilling depictions of trans women as hopeless stalkers
Certainly there are some bad depictions out there. But I think this kid is just desperate for someone to talk to about gender stuff.
When I was growing up, the only representation available aside from mean, one-off jokes was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And that movie isn't great representation, to put it lightly.
Having a working adult in a happy relationship as a role model probably would've gotten me out of the closet a lot earlier and saved me a lot of pain.
As for this, it remains to be seen how the character is handled from here. It'd be nice to have a trans character not suffering too much for once.
