I mean... When it comes to "glorious Nippon" i sort of get it, to a degree.
If you still find yourself being properly represented a character then more power to you, but a lot of times the addition of trans characters to anime is less due to respect and more fetishization. I would hardly call japan progressive for lusting over trans women while also calling them the T slur.
The eastern vision of trans people is definitely different. The thing that gets me is that the chuds try to argue it with a western look, which makes no sense if you consider you are more likely to see a trans person than a gay one in a japanese game.
