I'm curious about how people see Ayane's works as male perspective considering the years of lesbian works with scenarios like "we met at a gay pride parade" or "Junko surprises MadoHomu with a lecture about safe sex and dental dams" or "after realizing she was gay, she trimmed her nails." She's streamed games in the past (big From Software fan) and keeps an active diary on her web blog so there are various details there.
There are often preconceptions forming the "Ayane is male" idea that I've seen over the years. For example, in older comment sections here people have freaked out because Ayane was serialized in X-Eros doing het eromanga and published a tankoubon after the fact. Acting as if it was a betrayal or acting snide as if, being 'a male artist', Ayane can just walk away from yuri and yuri fans—which is a hell of a thing to assume considering what it belittles if you're talking about someone who literally can't just 'walk away' from being lesbian!
In the afterword to her tankoubon Ekidare, Ayane writes about how she was approached by an editor with the offer to either do an ecchi manga or do het eromanga. Ayane took the offer to do the former but was later told that deal fell through and only the eromanga deal was left. She took the deal and in the afterword expresses deep satisfaction at having her first commercial erotic lesbian work published, as she had gotten to end it with a yuri chapter ("If a Lie is Told, It Cannot Become Yuri"). It's something to be proud of for sure, yet somehow I see people view it in the most negative light possible.
In my opinion, instead of forming presumptuous ideas such as "this type of pornographic manga can only come from a male artist" that downplay the lived experience of a woman instead, one should seek to understand Ayane's perspective.
