is THAT a question?? well,it's not just about a hobby,or kinky things etc.it's lgbt thing,orientation,sexuality etc (i can't put it into word somehow) but you know what lgbt is,right?it's not rocket science to be understood
Wowow calm down people, it was just a question without malice. I know lgbt, I'm part of that. But I can't completely understand the thing of the dressing. I mean, the reasons of yashiro. He was only exploring other things or options? Or he only dressed like a woman because he wanted to, without any meaning behind?
Hate me if you want, but I want to comprehend first, damn (°-°)
if you read the manga carefully at the part where he first did it, you'll get the idea. although at the time he was forced into it, he was so happy when a guy said he looks cute. i guess he likes the fact that other guys were openly appreciative of him, not knowing he was a guy. it gave him a sense of worth.
I still have to learn a lot about gender, sexual orientation and sexuality, but I think Yashiro likes to feel like a woman, although, I don't know if he wishes to have a woman's body.
While crossdressing he became more aware of those feelings and Momose's behavior towards him helped him to realize this desire and to acknowledge his sexual orientation (being pinned down by a man, as he said).
Also, Yashiro has gradually felt more like a woman thanks to the way Momose takes care of him, to the point he forgot his body was the one of a man (Movie special).
So, maybe, at the end, he wanted to be a woman(?), he felt like a woman...(?)
I think Yashiro didn't understand it well. At the beginning he was in denial but later he was slowly trying to understand it.
As it is not clear for him and it's not explicitly stated in the manga, I don't understand it well.
I don't know how to express it and it's more difficult in English, I don't find the words and I don't feel confident of my conclusion (poor knowledge, I'm an ignorant), sorry. But that's how I saw it.
The point is that there are not clear cut lines between your sexuality or your gender. Does he want to be a woman? Maybe, but he likes being a man also, so maybe not. Does he like guys and he likes the attention he gets from them like that? Maybe and again maybe not. Is he gay, transsexual, straight, a gay crossdresser? The point is you don't really need to know, you don't need to put a label on yourself to be yourself. You are many things. Another good manga that opens up about this subject is Hourou Musuko by the way.
Mwahahah no problem, I'm just another genius, having all dem answers. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Jokes aside I'm glad you found my pov enlightening, I also wondered about subjects like that and it's good to get opinions from all types of people while looking for what makes sense to you the most. Ignore the "hate" most people probably didn't have a clear cut answer anyway but cover that up by getting mad, it's the internet after all. Also I love Hourou Musuko you should definitely read it even tho it's not yaoi tbh m/
Ok, so, why yashiro was crossdressing? Because he wanted to look cute and be topped by a man? It was a hobby? (°-°)
