You talk as if there wasn't any stigma in the West

This wouldn't solve his issue. Also estrogen isn't a mystical drug, it's a hormone. It can have many adverse effects and it won't turn someone into a eternally young cute girl, just make them more feminine, on a very broad sense of the word. (Don't take me wrong, I'm not demonizing estrogen...

Makoto end the work as a boy and the author intended them as crossdresser

Koisuru is BL, what are you talking about? The author of the work said that they wrote it under the premise of it being an Otokonoko BL This story has the structure, focus and characters tropes of a conventional BL series all wrapped in the package of Otokonoko

Makoto isn't nonbinary he says at the ending that he's a boy who likes cute things

Why is the translator assuming that the character is trans? There's so many other identities that they could be alluding to, the character may not even have an issue with their identity, it's very possible that they're just someone who likes to express themselves in a feminine way. I don't...

Hiura doesn't just wants to be feminine, they want to be a Bishoujo, an idealized cute highschool girl. HRT won't solve his issue, since it won't stop his growth

HRT won't stop the development of his body or end his aging. Hiura fear comes from insecurities concerning his role as a "Girl", his misguided idea that once he can't fit this role anymore others will come to not validate or like them anymore. HRT can't solve that, as it won't make him an...

Why this type of discussion only happens in works with feminine and androgynous male leads? Never see this in works with Tomboys

It will have the same amount of volumes as another recent work of the authors, Sei Gitai Osananajimi. While it would be good if it had the same amount of chapters as Ase, I think this series works as a short serialization. It probably sold less than Ase, but I believe that not by much...

It doesn't, it's a pretty singular experience. Can you rephrase or expand on it?

It's ironic coming from me, but you're right. The issue I find, it's on the idea that this needs to be "Queer" for the story to be valid, and I also dislike how the translation team is tackling Nijika's gender. Wanting it or not, we're not as liberated as the characters in the work, labels...

Crossdressing tropes go way beyond that. And this is still a series about someone falling in love with a crossdresser and getting confused by their beauty, while the crossdresser question and plays with the pre existing convictions and views of gender and sexuality

Not caring about how others perceive you is different from not having a gender identity or being trans. By what the works showed Nijika is a boy, but doesn't want or care about being boxed into labels. Also, the translation of this manga is making some pretty questionable choices when it comes...

By what the works showed they're a boy. He's seen as a boy by the female lead and never claims to be anything else

It didn't, it falls right into the trope of a feminine boy. The male protagonist is still a boy who dresses and presents themselves in a feminine way. I don't even understand why on such series would there be an issue on the protagonist being a crossdresser. This is a Shoujo romance, the element...

I think the idea is for Okaya to want Nagare for himself. I think he wanted to break Nagare, but not to win, instead he wanted them as ally someone that stood at his side and that would make his day to day more interesting

This didn't made him enraged, by what we have seen this made him horny. His fascination with Nagare looks more as that of a admirer than that of a nemesis. He liked the strong willed and kind Nagare, that endured any type of pain and torture without breaking, he liked the boy, who different from...

We don't know. It's never confirmed who she ended with in the bad ending, it could be Misaki
