Listen, I’m as socially progressive as anyone on this forum, and I think it’s important that people gender themselves however they please, and that the folks around them respect that decision. If someone call themselves a man, then they’re a man and vice versa. However, this isn’t Yamato as an entity identifying as a male in general, but as a very specific dude, which tells me she only considers herself a man because she considers herself to be Oden. When this cosplay shtick is dropped, what are we left with? Yamato as her biological sex implies. Until further notice - like her declaring that Yamato, not Yamat-Oden, is a guy - I think this is the safest way to go about this otherwise complicated subject.
