let's go! we are progressing towards development!

So makoto doesn't want to be labeled male or female?

Disrespecting the gender binary such a valid stance. A pro gamer move.

Ugh I really hate this development. I was getting strong transfem vibes from Makoto in the beginning, but it seems they're working in a bit of "Haha jk not trans just a quirky femboy hehe" backpedaling since the series got popular or something.

i still want to punch his mom

 

[chilneun]

mom's development is ambiguous. made excuses "even if i accept others wont accept" thats not your problem innit mate? i guess its her nature to be transphobic.

 

[NishaAzalea]

She's not a bad mom, she really does want the best for her son.

It's just her idea of what would be best for him isn't what he wants.

Her transphobia definitely is a problem, but it's not anything unrealistic, at the very least she's never out right hurt him physically.

At the very least, she's willing to at least take a shot at understanding him.

That's already a huge step when compared to other parents out there who would even go as far as kick their children out almost immediately after they confess.

Again she's not a bad parent, she's just overly paranoid of her son being treated badly by people, and way too traumatized of her past.

She needs to understand the way she sees this issue, isn't how everyone in the world sees it.

And she needs to understand her opinions should not be forced on anyone.

If she could accept that, then she genuinely can be a great and supportive mom.

It sounds so simple, but just like real life, sometimes the easiest answers are the hardest to understand and accept by people.

I still get transfem energy... like looking in the reflector and being reminded of his male body and wanting to take the dress off a couple chapters ago?? That's such a trans experience

Definitely feels a little bait-y

Damn, GNC/enby ending

I'm with you on this, Makoto doesn't give away the vibes xe is doing it for fashion statement or quirk, it's people around that still prevent xer for doing it full time.
It was a surprising turn of events Makoto chosen to be "neither", it wasn't someone in the family, nor being influenced by others, moreover everyone including Makoto mom was strongly against it.

Still, choosing neither is a step, but giving the fact Makoto is more comfortable by being feminine is shifting the side to being a female.

 

[SpecialProjectY]

Great reasoning, want to make person happy by doing everything from forcing someone and guilt trip to feel miserable.

Sure, she tried to shield Makoto from the results of society that takes too freaking slow to progress, despite information now being widely available, but locking it away was what made Makoto feeling depressed 24/7.

Thanks for the scanlation!
