Talk:Juuzou Suzuya/@comment-25748886-20141123014257

I am seriously upset that someone put Juuzou's gender as "male". In the manga itself, Juuzou's gender is put as "none". Juuzou never states that he identifies as male. Yes, he has (or had, we don't know the extent of his genital mutilation) a penis, but a penis does not determine someone's gender, merely their assigned sex. Not what gender they are. Not only is putting Juuzou's gender as "male" incorrect, it's also downright insulting to the transgender community. We know that the author of Tokyo Ghoul is aware that transgender people exist because he includes a transgender man in Tokyo Ghoul:Re so it's not a stretch for Juuzou to be a non-binary person. I'm seriously disappointed and disugsted with how people treat Juuzou. I'd also like to add that Juuzou choosing to go by Juuzou is not an indicator of gender-- it's the name he went by when he was a scrapper. Similarly, he/him pronouns do not indicate gender. Many non-binary people go by "gendered" pronouns. I'm so upset right now by the blatant transphobia. Disgusting.
