I'm leaning towards him just being a cross dresser cuz I thought being trans was about wanting to be the opposite gender, not just wanting to be cute/handsome or having a strong fondness for cute/handsome things/aesthetics?
lots of people start experimenting with their gender by altering the form rather than doing some sort of wild internal gender cultivation, and lots of people start out just crossdressing before they go "yeah I think I'm just this gender actually"
It can just be relatable/nostalgic to fully binary trans people, even if it's not the intent. It's like how Dorothea Arnault is canonically bisexual but I swear to sothis she's lesbian coded af
That aside, this feels look a Ch 1 rather than a one shot? How does a manga get serialized anyways? Do they have to post the chapter somewhere specific and wait or do they submit their chapter/apply for the chance to have their work serialized?
Authors do oneshots in magazines they work with all the time or they can submit to contests. From this pool, publishers choose to pick series up. That's the usual flow, but with webmanga and international collab work, it's shifting
