Harostar-kun, you are being completely unreasonable... to say that the writing of a rape victim becoming a man to avoid further scrutiny is absurd is ludicrous. You have to understand that rape victims have all kinds of mental issues going on as a whiplash from their encounter. Mutsuki clearly detests men for some reason or another, and seems to not want to be sexualized as a woman, so she wears the coat of a man to avoid that sexualization. An excellent example of what I'm saying is when Sasaki told her she looked pretty, Mutsuki said she "was not worried" about how she looked. If it wasnt this, then it must be something else, it must have been what the men thought OF her, and not how they SAW her. I dont think Mutsuki cares about being seen as a woman, it probably boils deeper than that. Also, why do you think having a story about someone who decided to live as a man due to life experience would make for a bad story? Perhaps you just want representation for a trans audience a bit badly? I could care less either way how they design Mutsuki's character, but I think some of you were a little too attached to the idea of a trans MC that you needed a push back to reality. You never had a real basis to call her a trans, and that was your own downfall. It's why we are where we are today. Ishida placed the bait and you all fell for it. Having all the Q's crossdress was his way of trolling all of us, because I believe that deep down, we might just be as insecure as Mutsuki "might" be.



But it's ok though, because at the end of Mulan, she came to accept both sides of her personality, and revealed that she did not have to keep her identity as a woman a secret to be perceived as strong or to have protection from men. My theory on Mutsuki came from her similarity to Kaneki, who wants to be strong so BUILT AN IMAGE to be perceived by other people as being that! It's so simple even a child can see it Harostar-kun!
