I can't tell whether the uke is a gay man or a straight trans woman that doesn't realise they are trans.... Like.... there is a difference between being a gay man that likes feminine things and a trans woman, but the translator treats these two concept like they are synonymous. I am not sure whether this is the same in the raw version, so I can't determine the thought process of the author. That being said, this lack of clarity shows that the translator and/or the author need to educate themselves so that they can write characters that actually make sense.

    That's not how being trans works fam. You don't magically become trans only after transitioning. Please do your research.

    I think gender and sex are both different. Sex is when you are born with male or female body parts. Gender is more on the mindset. So if a boy who has male body parts is a woman at heart, then she's a trans woman. Or if a girl who has female body parts is a man at heart, then he's a trans man. Then there are also genderfluid and genderless ones. Gender is more of a social construct, while sex is biology.
