I like it when people ask permission.
I also hope the the fact that he likes “Io-kun” helps bridge the language barrier. He speaks using masculine language.
I’ll give the people betting he’s trans a 2% chance of success. I’m being generous.
He’s a straight boy discovering how he wants to present, and how he likes to be treated in a relationship.
His girlfriend clearly and happily IDs as a woman. She also wears traditionally male clothes and binds daily. She seems comfortable with her body (and what it does to her BF) so it’s about how she wants to look in her clothes. Like control-top tights: not comfortable but effective (Bought them by accident, once). It’s not uncommon to suffer for fashion. I’ve worn high heels. (NTY)
Point is that he’s a dude who likes to present femme. He’s adjusting despite some internal resistance.
Let’s not be hypocritical and say that dressing a certain way determines your gender.
My butch wife strongly disagrees. I also disagree despite wearing traditional women’s clothing.
