"Why is Mutsuki's transgender lie so ingenius?"

With the controversy surrounding Mutuski, (and inability to actually post on that page) I will make self-reflections on my own wall to adress various topics, starting with this one, regarding the observations made within TG.

Starting with Mutsuki.

There are fierce opinions within the fandom which stubbornly cling to claim that Mutsuki is transgender quoting the "live like a man" quote made from her.

And there are also those who claim this to be a lie due to the panel work in that statement, pointing at her character tick when being dishonest, shown in the very same line of panels as well.

I personally believe that Mutsuki's "live as a man" is indeed a lie.

But why would Mutuski come up with something like that to hide behind?

That is the question.

And after some serious thinking I realized something.

In society of today, being "tolerant" is not a request, it has become a "obligation", a "norm".

To not be tolerant is to be heinous, that is what is taught to everyone and everyone put up a face of tolerance when challenged with it, some genuinely,, others just to look good to others and not look bad themselves.

Mutuski pullign the "transgender" card for her bluff was ingenious, because that was the one giant lie that nobody would ever dare to call her out on.

Not without looking incredibly bad in the eyes of others and have their image ruined in the process.

Mutuski is a skilled manipulator, she knows exactly how society ticks and what to say in order to make herself appear believable and as evident with the heated flamewars within the tokyo ghoul fandom, Mutsuki´s "Transgender card" is not just a landmine, but a whole "minefield" when approached.

This is what is must be seen as in-story as well, since nobody really dare to approach her about it unless out of their minds (Urie in the Auction) or those too broken to care for their image seen by others (Torso).

THrough TG:Re, I have not seen a single person bring up Mutsuki's "gender card" in the slightest of a everyday conversation. Meaning that they are not approaching it and styaing the hell away from Mutsuki because of the sensitivity in that topic. Which is exactly what a serial-killing liar would favor the most.

To be avoided, looked away and unapproachable by the rest of society.

Is it insensitive to bring up questions about the "reason" for a transgender person's choices?

No.

I find it more insenitive to "not" ask about details for that choice, as asking about it, would show at least attempts on genuinely understanding the person in question and get to know him/her better.

To never bring it up, is not "tolerance"...it's the same as not accepting the transgender person as they are at all and look away from that aspect of themselves, making hypocrites out of oneself for believing "Don't ask = Tolerance".

Within society "tolerance" is no different than a "blindfold".

Willfully ignoring what's in front of oneself in favor of personal worth and feeling better oneself without considering the person in front of you in the turest sense.

Society of Tokyo Ghoul is tolerable...to a sense.

And Mutsuki knows this.

This also makes her more of a crossdresser rather than a genuine transgender person as she uses the "gender card" to push people away from asking questions, to put blindfolds in favor of fitting in with society and remain in good graces rather than trying to approach and get to know Mutsuki better as a person.

Mutuski is actually using the obligation of tolerance within society to hide herself in plain sight.

This is the ingenious part as nobody would dare call her out on it without looking like bastards themselves as in the eyes of society "Everyone must respect the choices of everyone else".

This is the leash that Mutuski is abusing for her own interests to avoid attention and a more active social life in general since if nobody approaches her in public, there will be no danger for her having a social life and friends off the work that might find out about her more depraved hobies such as animal killing that let her vent out stress built up from her past.

No friends, no social life = Her truth safely concealed as a result.

In this perspective, Mutsuki is a master manipulator and genius.

She's using society's own rules in order to remain incognito and continue what she's doing without risk of exposure.

After all, how many people would dare to call out a "transgender person" for being a "fake"?

Think about that.

This has been the first of the reflections, and I am putting it on my own wall to avoid issues elsewhere...(hopefully)

Just wanted to share my thoughts about it at last since I can't put it up on Mutuski's page due to the locked down comment section.

Just saying.

And thanks for reading this far...have a nice day.
