TINO? (Trans in name only?)Strikes me as a bit pointless to have Nea change gender, if that's the case may as well make her female from the start.
The whole reason people want that kind of content is to have her as she is.
It seems to me, it's a little more difficult to convey the struggles of trans individuals in a visual medium when you have one who has had all the surgeries, whose body now matches their identity. One of the big misconceptions is that not all trans individuals want to undergo full reassignment surgery. It feels like it is a more powerful story for trans character at this point if they are introduced at a time when they're still in the process of dealing with their dysphoria in one or another. At least when telling a fictional story.
I would definitely be very disappointed if Nea has the surgeries in order to win MC's love. That centers her journey on the acceptance of a cis het male, not her own internal harmony.
