The deep and complex pains.

I like that this series is drawing a parallel with the the other things and doesn't just make it about gender stuff though.

Seem like the "advice" of those girls back in chapter 529 more or less remind Yuuki about the pressure ( personally, I think peer pressure are one of the worst kind of pressure)
Actually, I feel like even Yuuki pressure himself to "fit well" too

In the bigger picture, though, this is still a minor thing compared to what many students are going through in Japan. Bullying regularly drives kids to suicide over there and the teachers are only worried about it reflecting badly on the reputation of the school, when the low birthrate is already seeing schools closing their doors due to the lack of students.

Still, I don't know if that's worse or better than in some other places (including my own home country) where a bullied kid sometimes, even if very rarely, takes a gun and turns the tables on the school (although he will still typically shoot himself as well).

Well, everything is personal and the more you dwell on it on your own, the worse the situation starts to look like. At the end of the day Yuuki has a girlfriend, friends, and a job where he's valued highly, he isn't shunned at all, so he's worlds above what most bullied kids are. So far it has only been a couple of bitches mouthing off, which wouldn't mean anything at all if he hadn't got his old trauma.

@krisdreemurr stop making everything a dick-measuring contest. It's shit like this that make things worst. Even if you had a troubling past, belittling others and their problem just makes you look like the assholes potrayed in this chapter.

Funny thing is that those comments towards yuuki usually are considered "normal", so even if you're wrong essentially, it doesn't matter, provided there are hundreds of idiots who think the same as you and tell you that "it's normal to be an asshole"
This is why democracy is wrong

First 2 panels are from people his age, while the third panel is actually a faculty member looking out for the school’s reputation.

@hayatekanzaki it doesn't matter who are the comments comming from, kids are heavily influenced by their parents's views and those around them. People don't choose their point of view, usually it's forced on them, rarely they then change it as a result of deciding if they actually agree with that.
As long as majority tells you what's normal and what's not you'll be forced to accept that if you want to fit, which you do.

In the context relating to Yuuki it does matter who is saying it to him. In the third panel, if it was another student saying to him, this wouldn’t have forced him to leave. Just a peer saying it to him could be just seen as unwanted advice. It was a faculty member who pressured him. A faculty member who insinuated that he should change his hair color for the good of the school’s reputation. And unlike a fellow student, the school faculty can force him against his will by using the rules.

You cannot force someone against their will using rules they haven't agreed to.
If he applied to a school that means he agrees to their rules, meaning if in the rules said that you should dye your hair then you should.
Hair colour doesn't matter to me personally, so idk how it feels when you're forced to change it.
What you're saying is not relevant to what I said. What I meant is that forcing your way of thinking onto someone should be considered "not normal".
I don't know what makes you think that 3rd panel matters that much.
I might not get my point across that well, but I'll try.
Yuuki wasn't normal from a typical Japanese kid's standpoint, he wore what other people thought was "wrong" for a male kid to wear, he had different hair colour from what's expected to be normal, thus people treated him differently, but at the same time his grandmother told him "it's okay to be yourself" which is correct, what was not correct is that nobody had a right to tell him "you're wrong", there is no rule that says "men cannot wear dresses and skirts", but there is a commonality in people's mind saying "no man wears dresses, thus you shouldn't", and it makes them think "I'm right, I have a right tell him he's wrong".
Yuuki's right in his believes, everybody else is wrong, but there is no rule that says that, it's common sense that people lack.
There is no rule that says student's uniform should represent their gender, unless there is, of course. It's a pity that the community he grew in was toxic, nothing you can doabout it, dickheads will be dickheads unless there'll be a rule saying "one cannot be a dickhead to others".
