Well, since the issue of Mutsuki being a trans is now over (Well, atleast the flame war has settled down since his situation was confirmed to us already) I had been wondering about the scars he has. I believe that those scars on his body may not only be caused by the Quinx surgery, but maybe it has something to do more with his past.

Despite having his parents killed off by a ghoul, Mutsuki doesn't strike me as the type to harbor any hatred towards them. It is common that if you've had your whole family killed off for food, you'll be planting a seed of hatred against the killer and make them want to suffer before they die. I'm that weak and timid person too in real life, and that's how I would feel if something like that happened to my family. I would be really sadistic when it comes to the killer, but strangely, Mutsuki doesn't seem to have reacted that much.

Mutsuki may have a strained relationship with his family. It was hinted that he wanted to have a place to belong in, and that's probably because he didn't feel like he belongs in their family. Maybe he was abused or something, and maybe the cause of that abuse was because he was, biologically speaking, a girl, thus, he wanted to become a boy. I doubt that this abuse was sexual harassment, and I doubt that the scars were caused by the ghoul who killed his family since, as I said, he should be feeling real hatred on ghouls if it's like that. Maybe he really wished his family to just get killed off and then the ghoul came and did the deed, so he isn't really vengeful. That would be quite an interesting twist to his character, which was introduced to us to be nice and respectful.

We do get Mutsuki saying that he was uncomfortable with being a girl, which maybe tells us that he just feels like a man, no other reason, but the scars intrigue me. So yeah, just a theory. I have a feeling that he didn't want to be a female just because he was uncomfortable with it, and thus I interpret those scars to have been a part of an even bigger 'cause' than merely feeling discomfort to his assigned birth sex.

Well, maybe I am just over analyzing things.
