Hmm, that mother is horrible to deny reality and just do what she wants. Seriously, it really put me off. And it never really goes into whether he wants to remain a girl or not. Because couldn't he just dress and aft like a man if he wanted now that he's free? Although 17 years as a girl would be hard to undo at first, but worth it to be comfortable in your own skin. I just didn't like the plot at all. Their relationship was fine and seemed to be pretty mutual luckily.
