I'll never understand why a subset of the anime/manga community will go feral over cross-dressing men but lose their minds if a character is trans. Talk about throwing rocks in a glass house.
I have no problem with characters being trans. My issue comes when there's a conflation of crossdressing and transwomen in series, since, at least for me, when reading a series about crossdressing men, I'm not really interested in reading about the issues that transwomen have to go through, or reading about a transwoman in general. There's a fundamental difference and confusion between the two (or even full-on gender bender) makes reading series about otokonoko annoying at times. It makes reading the comments for them harder.

The site that hosts rape and gore manga is freaking out over one word. Guess I'll go read Dog Nigga since you guys find that perfectly acceptable
Wait, but what the actual fuck is that???????????????????

Rex is a half man half dog. He was created when a drunk old man
forced himself on a stray female dog in the street.
Because of his father, Rex has to live his life as a freak rejected by society.
So one day he’s gonna find that man, and RAPE him
EX-FUCKING-CUSE ME????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all fairness is the artist self-publishing their work to the only aggregator site with somewhat of a respect for licensing and no ads. So good for 'em?

It's actually kind of entertaining, and there's more complexity beneath the premise.

Then you can always filter mangas with -genderswap. The genderswap tag always means some kind of transition, being it realistic or involving some fictional disease or magic. It's also not the same as genderbender (which this manga isn't tagged with).

I don't think it makes much sense for mangas tagged with genderswap to be considered otokonoko, unless it has other non-genderswap crossdressing/genderbent characters as well.

So did he have surgery and became she or is he still he but cross dressing. She was also saying they couldn't "Save it" so then... What's down there?? Nothing? I am just so confused.
