Anyhow, what put me off the most is, why would Miki liked Makoto? I see little reasons for Miki to like Makoto unless Miki herself is a lesbian/bisexual and comfortable with a transgender. If she is comfortable with a transgender, it is illogical for her to show that much ignorance, like me, on the matter.
Makoto is not transsexual. Miki either knew him before he started to wear feminine cloths or she never really tried to understand him. It seems she simply see him as a guy, treat like one and just want to date him because she likes him (either because of his looks, personality or both). The point is, she don't care about his identity and all that stuff, she just want to fuck him and is jealous he has girlfriend, so she bullies them. Which honestly baffles me how she think it is a good idea and will make her love interest actually consider her as a potential partner.
And that just proved my point again. If transgender is a umbrella term for everyone not cis and doesn't simply mean transsexual, then they should say Makoto is not transsexual, not transgender. Because he is transgender, since he identify with both genders. But in manga they specifically use term transgender with the meaning of transsexual. So does Japan use different definition? Before you could just say trans or trans person and everyone knew exactly what it meant. Now it can mean everything and you have no idea which version the person is using, cos some people use trans and transgender to only mean transsexual. It used to be pretty simple, but now it got overcomplicated and the term become meaningless.
And that reminds me, now we don't actually have tag to tag works that have specifically transsexuals in them, because it was changed to transgender because it was a term transsexual preferred and felt more natural, but now that it is a umbrella term, we actually need a transsexual and transgender tags to differentiate the two.
