    Watashitachi wa Moto Joshi desu - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

    Yeah yeah paint yourself as the victim here while showcasing the suicide rates of marginalized people, and for what exactly? Your personal views on restriction?

    God you're insufferable. Concern-trolling about trans people to spout garbage that, by your own evidence, doesn't support your point of view, and responding with condecending hostility to actual arguments against your point.
