yeah lol. the author of that video, ceicocat, was actually a member of the anime analysis community as far back as 2017, which is when i was into it myself + first considering transitioning. i guess that’s evidence that at least within that community, my reasons for transitioning were at least roughly similar to those of the other trans people.
(when i saw that video for the first time, i was like “seriously!? fucking ceicocat of all people is the first person i know of who’s managed succinctly articulate this theory of transgenderism!? incredible...”)
At the risk of this being a plot spoiler for Inside Mari, there is something that surprises me about that manga…
it suggests, I think, that the character has a sudden, abrupt dissociation, where they suddenly perceive themself as a different gender. I think, from talking to a bunch of trans people, that what they have is just not like that. On the other hand, I think it’s entirely possible that some minority of trans people really do have something like that.
I watched this youtube video about the manga “Inside Mari” about a year ago. It had a similar thesis iirc.

I don’t know who ceciocat is, so what makes it so weird that the video was by them in particular?
