Trans-people should start writing a guidebook for their expectations, because straight people showing understanding by protecting & explaining trans-rights the way they see it, will be met with disagreement from the group they're standing up for, guaranteed.

As far as trans is concerned for me, it's the trans-person that demands a certain pronoun in his particular case & expects his environment to respect the pronoun he identifies with.

Mutsuki said: "I  want  to live like a man.", which is still a farcry from saying: "I am a man" or "Transgender, identifying as a man.". There's a hesitance in Mutsuki's statement: "want". The fact that she readily accepts certain people knowing she's female doesn't support her case. She doesn't respond with: "but now I am a man"; she responds:"You probably noticed  i'm  actually female,Saiko."

She  wants  to be a man, but is okay with saying to some that she  is  female. And it wasn't past tense, as in "I was a female".

Besides that i've read the importance of how the individual indentifies opposed to how the environment identifies the individual, which seems to be different in Mutsuki's case then most.

A lot of transgender-people struggle with the appearance of the gender they identify with. It's the biggest issue for them, because it's hard to change yourself in a way that it's still natural. That's why it's so important for transgender-people to verbally share with which gender they identify themselves & expect to be treated as. Mutsuki is one of those rare people that are able to appear like the opposite gender, without the need to mention her identity/gender verbally. Everyone practically considers her male on their own & not particularly because Mutsuki verbally demanded to be considered male.

She registered herself as a male in CCG & beyond that doesn't need to change much about her appearance or do any surgery or drastic changes to confidentally pull off her prefered gender. She is just naturally considered male, which begs the question: '' Why does she not actively demand to be seen as male from those that managed to unveil the truth about her being female? ''

I'm no transgender, but if i would identify as female, then i'd want  everyone  to see me as such, not just a big chunk of people & reward those that see through my gender with a free pass on calling me what I prefer to be seen as.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mutsuki is rather opportunistic about the whole gender identity-thing.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Males have to see her as male, but females don't particularly. (Mutsuki makes a concious distinction between either genders or people when it comes to her gender identity)

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Mutsuki isn't unsure or disgusted by her original sex organ; which we assume she doesn't identify her gender with. When she lusts or aches to have sex, her female sex organ doesn't create a dissonance in her brain with her identification as male. Which presents the possibility of there not being any gender identity issues in the first place, as GoldenWitch said. And it supports her opportunistic behaviour about it.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Mutsuki has been seen to act feminine whenever that would suit her situation. Her conscious effort of imitating a male, stops from the moment that female charm has a better chance of success in a certain situation.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">There’s a giant lack of consistency & zeal, which is pretty much unthinkable when it comes to a transgender that identifies as either male or female. Even those that identify as ‘neutral’ show a certain devotion or zeal for being identified as ‘neutral’. That’s largely absent in Mutsuki’s seen behaviour.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">So the one thing that is clear for me here, is that those who still try to discuss wether she solely identifies as male or as female, are wasting their time, because we’ve got more then enough proof to back up both genders in her case.
