I haven't watched the anime (I didn't even know there was one until I saw this), and I haven't gotten much farther than Nitori hacking hir hair off and swearing off crossdressing. But I know what you mean. I was identifying with Takatsuki a lot during this part of the manga, when it was unclear whether ze wanted to really be a boy or just didn't want to be a girl.

I don't think that it's wrong to want to find someone to identify with, and I certainly don't see why the Trans community, or friends and allies of the Trans community, would tell you that it's not okay to say that the gender pronouns fandom is using makes you feel uncomfortable and alienated. And it bothers me that it has to be a secret, that this is something that we can only say anonymously.

In other fandoms (Phoenix Wright, Digimon, Gundam Wing, for example), I've seen people genderbend characters for the sake of a story. You know, saying things like, "I'd like to see this plot carried out with X as a girl," or "How would their relationship be different if Y was a boy?" I guess I'm just disappointed to learn that the Transient Son fandom isn't more understanding.
