Makoto Tsukishiro character description

There have been a number of changes to the Makoto Tsukishiro character description in relation to her/his identity. I have edited the entry in the hope of providing a description which is acceptable to the various editors - happy to discuss. The reasons are as follows;

Makoto is a woman who dresses as a man until her death in Episode 8. In Episodes 3 and 5 Makoto is shown with her breasts strapped to conceal them behind her clothing. There is no evidence that Makoto has anything other than a woman's body or has had any gender reassignment surgery. She identifies as a man and has an obsessive interest in Sawa because of Sawa's ability to take revenge, something which was denied to Makoto. There is no evidence in the episodes to suggest that Makoto is transgender, and she is more likely a cross-dresser as this is her actual behavior - she never articulates her motives for dressing as a man. Because she identifies and appears to other characters within the series as a man, I consider that it is appropriate to use the pronoun "he" to refer to Makoto in the episode summaries.

It is inappriopriate usage, if anything, for the reason she's being multiple times reffered to as "she" by other characters. Whatever she identifies as (if there was a proof other than her rather pato-psychic than purely sexual interest in Sawa), the creators put emphasis on her being her, not "him". And this should be respected. 89.64.31.240 (talk) 18:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, Tsuki is a popular female name. 89.64.31.240 (talk) 18:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
