about tooru mutsuki’s gender (tl;dr version)
- he is male
- he has been male since the start of tg:re and most likely before that if the flashback in ch5 has anything to say about it
- he uses “ore” consistently, even in inner monologues. that is a strictly masculine japanese pronoun
- he is male
- it is unconfirmed whether trauma had something to do with him being trans (since trauma can affect the chemistry/thought process of the brain and that can change your self view including your gender, though it’s rare) and even if it does…
- …his identity is no less valid than anyone else’s
- …it doesn’t mean you can assume he MAY recover from said trauma and MAY “go back” to being female and use that as an excuse to misgender him. because 1) that assumes he identified as female in the past in the first place 2) that also invalidates the concept of genderfluidity, in that you’re refusing to acknowledge his gender in the present due to his possible change of gender in the past/future 3) whether any of that stuff about truma and/or him recovering ends up being true or not, he is male right now
- he is male
- right now
- no matter what you say, or has happened, or may have happened, or may happen in future
- he is male right now
- he is male
- stop misgendering tooru mutsuki
