Good lord, the mental gymnastics going on here to make Mutsuki a crossdressing woman. Can we please stop arguing in circles about this, because it is honestly getting downright pathetic.

There is /no/ conclusive evidence that Mutsuki is a crossdressing woman that was raped, or abused, or otherwise feels that being a woman would hold him back from succeeding at CCG. When Akira Mado is the direct supervisor of the team, that is a rather idiotic argument.

There are mutiple pieces of evidence that illustrate Mutsuki is transgender. Very clear ones that illustrate that Ishida did his homework, and is portraying the character ACCURATELY.

Surgery is NOT a requirement to be Transgender. I repeat, it is absolutely not a requirement and in fact a complex issue for many reasons. So stop clinging to "but Mutsuki has boobs" as the basis for your argument. It is wrong and honestly WILLFULLY IGNORANT when people have repeatedly explained things. It is one thing to simply be confused, but when told something multiple times.....you have no excuse other than your own choice to remain ignorant. Please knock it off and stop trying to explain away the groundbreaking inclusion of a serious, respectfully portrayed Trans character. It is an enormous thing, especially since such characters are typically handled as jokes or gags.
