If anyone wants to keep spouting bigotry like himejoshis and if you're someone who wants to defend transphobic ideology like zormau- I recommend not reading any story having to do with trans characters fictional or not because nobody on this earth wants to hear a transphobic viewpoint of a self proclaimed ex-trans cis dipshit who thinks they have any right to come onto a pretty trans positive thread with a lot of good insight only to find bigots like her spouting complete anti-trans rhetoric. How about go reevaluate your unwanted transphobic views first himejoshis before commenting on a manga focused on a trans character that is in fact trans and not any of the shit you want him to be. The audacity of someone who is anti-trans reading a manga made by a trans person only to act like the main character whos a trans man is a cis women with internalized misogyny is so fucking funny to the point that it's pathetic. If trans people bother you so much maybe get therapy you weirdo.

Forth of all, he didn't just "become a guy" because of his father, like I said earlier he literally states as a kid that hes a boy from his own thoughts and feelings.

Read the manga again. He only started calling himself a man after dad told him girls couldn't go hunting/to "be a good girl and stay at home [sic]". If dad had been accepting of him as a woman who enjoyed masculine hobbies...I mean, I keep my point, I don't think Chiaki would've transitioned.

And I'm ex-trans myself...that's the entire point of me making my comment, I saw a lot of myself in this story. I could've been the one to go through breast removal and SRS, or hop on hormone therapy. I just stopped it though because I realized my dysphoria was borne of......misogyny. Hell, I deal with dysphoria now, but I understand I can't escape it by simply transitioning.

I do roughly understand that some trans people are born with chemical imbalances in their brains or whatever that make them feel their sex is wrong, but this doesn't appear to be one of those situations!

Non-binary people are real and very much trans as well.

I don't get how you can't "feel either gender", when gender is just a bundle of stereotypes people want you to act through, dependent on your sex; I also hate the concept of gender essentialism, so I dislike the idea of "non-binary" (which seems entirely based on gender essentialism). I bought into it when I was younger, but I'm older now and more critical of these things.

Of course, people can ID as what they want. I don't care if their pronouns are fae/fem or whatever, but it does make me squint.

I mean this is the most sincere way possible to both you and to that other person defending you. Absolutely go fuck yourselves transphobes.
