While Tokyo Ghoul is one of my personal favorites, its portrayal of transgender characters can be seen as problematic. For instance, Suzuya’s mother, a trans woman, is depicted as an unattractive, masculine figure who to put it simply forces gender-altering surgeries on her child (And thats her entire relevance in the story). Meanwhile, Tooru, a trans man, is reduced to a traumatized woman who adopts a male identity as a coping mechanism rather than being authentically trans. These portrayals align with harmful stereotypes often weaponized against the trans community. Though this is my point of view and it can be biased, I believr these depictions in Tokyo Ghoul raise valid concerns about its handling of trans identities.

This is a good writing but I'm disappointed that the only truly significant transgender person is a traumatic response I would have preferred that we have a dilemma in his head between the fact that he is trans because he wanted it or because his trauma does not answer and explain it by a trauma and by his fear I find it his.. a little bit of a pity because honestly it makes ambiguous the fact of if we can really consider it as trans because he became trans because he just wanted to be safe from the eyes of men so I find it a little unfortunate that his reason is a trauma instead of a real dilemma to share between his desire to be a man and wondering if he is doing his due to his trauma or not

this is a breath of fresh air, as I feel this side of transgender history is often ignored. some people who are clearly trans men especially will be overlooked as just a lesbian, or just trying to hide from the horrors of being a woman. and this can be part of the reason, but that doesn't change the fact that if someone is more comfortable being a man it should be respected. I've never been interested in reading Tokyo ghoul until hearing about this guy, think I might have to check it out

Tooru reminds me of one of the characters from a short story I read back then. Basically, it's a collection of women's struggles. The character I was referring to is a child, but referred to himself as a "boy". But if you really read into it, the "boy" might be a female child. He prefers to be seen that way as a coping mechanism. And to an extent, survival. He realized at a young age that being perceived as one gives you more opportunities and gives you more freedom. Depressing read cuz later he got harassed by a neighbor. Still one of my favorites because it's really fun to dissect, given how it's written (really experimental-ish)
