Kare to Kanojo no Sentaku - Vol. 3 Ch. 17.5 - Trans Star

[Julian117]

That version of the gender bending seems like it contains about as much nightmare fuel as a certain Bowsette transformation video.


I imagine most straight guys who into women would likely become lesbians or tomboy lesbians. Many people would still likely be only attracted to women even after becoming one.

As for demography getting more screwed up, since women take on all the responsibility of getting pregnant, I argue it is better for society to have excess women rather than excess men in the same age cohorts.

As for trying to vaccinate against the fictional disease in this series, that could be very difficult, even compared to vaccinating against HIV or cancer.

That is a accurate description of how Gender change happens in this manga.

Babies do not just spawn like videogames. You need a man and a woman to make a child and I doubt lesbians would be into that. Unless artificial methods as easy as taking pills.

Also, I have to call out the author again, because of how completely disillusioned they are from this "trans message" they actually are. So they make this gender issue into a social issue and YET they still use beautiful models of women making it sound like transgenderism is the curse of beauty or something.
So instead of making a realistic social message like an ugly trans-girl trying to fit in, they instead make her a natural idol (because in their minds transpeople never had to have a dozen of beauty surgeries or makeup to improve their feminity)

Sorry but I just can't take this author seriously...

Wait, prequel? How does this connect to the main series? Is this the couple from that bar where Haruka works?

Wack. The message in this makes me think the author might have a good message planned for the rest of the story after all. It's so weird how it seems to run counter to what the story after the oneshot seems to be doing. In Trans Star the message seems to be that your gender doesn't matter, that you can love whoever you wish to; In The Choice is His & Hers this seems to be what the two protagonists believe as well, but then it's as if the world is rejecting that notion. The two appear to be falling in love with each other due to the fact that one of them changed gender, there's a lot of emphasis put on the notion that boys and girls can't be good friends, etc.

Like Idk what happened in-between writing Trans Star and The Choice is His & Hers. Did the author change their mind? Is the latter story rejecting the message of the former simply a temporary hurdle that is to be overcome? It's strange & intriguing to me.
