Personally I think this, and other comments along these lines above, are pretty twisted. Not in, like, a sick way, but in a ideologically caged way. Hiura is having fun cosplaying and more specifically looking good for Midou, which originally, and still is, the whole reason he's doing this. It just so happens to turn out that he seems to like crossdressing and not being traditionally masculine.
This is why I specifically pointed out the Bonus chapter with the false breasts, Aside from that, Hiura hasn't shown many signs I personally consider Trans-Coded things, being in love is universal, but in the end Hiura IS canonically still Male for all intents and purposes.
These characters are only "trans-coded" if you view it purely through a trans lens and nothing else. This line of thinking only makes sense if you competently ignore all the societal context behind otokonoko in the first place, instead substituting it for a transgender context much more native to western lines of thinking.
This is a fair point, but of course I'm gonna view things in a Trans-Biased way, using personal biases to further connect with a character or series creating alternative scenarios or situations to further explore the characters' traits, non-canonical events to further contextualize the beauty in the Canon series of events, I find it to be the whole point of fiction in general.
THAT is why the whole controversy and localizer fuck up happened with 7S and why they had to re-write the entire story after this line of thinking was shown to be wrong.
Saying it's wrong is a poor wording, but I can understand what you mean. Like what I said in response to Narehate's reply, an author's vision for their story is to be respected. Just because I like to talk about non-canonical outcomes and aspects doesn't negate the canonical happenings, I'm not telling the author to change fuck all, this is an adorable story.
There ARE trans manga and anime out there, this just isn't one of them and inserting these theories here is frankly a waste does more harm than good, only further purpetrating the idea that trans people like to push their ideology into everything, espically where it doesn't belong..
If it truly doesn't belong here I ask the mods remove it, but what good is reading a story if you don't try to learn something about yourself from it? Not every story has something to be learned at face value, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to be gained from looking introspectively regardless.
If all my hyperbole and what-if'ing is really as dangerous as you make it out to be, then I'll gladly make amends, but for now I'm just gonna keep enjoying the things I do for fun
<3 Thank you for your insight and PoV on the matter!
