Your future will be happy, Gero, I promise.

I put this on the maritoki subreddit but I feel I shouldn't let it stay there. Here's my basic kinosaki identity reading.

Kinosaki shouldn't be cis woman because the whole point of the series is the choice of happiness over strict 'traditional' family adherence that believes "blood is thicker than water" and that having children is the most important thing you can do to continue that bloodline.

Kinosaki could be seen as trans because a key theme of the series is that WHO YOU ARE AT BIRTH shouldn't determine your value as a person, and that being able to biologically have children shouldn't be the only definition for being a woman (i.e. all the marriage options are only considered good for their blood, biology or birth right).

Kinosaki could also be seen as trans because reading her as a trans woman makes sense; she only ever reveals that she's a 'man' to people she's not conning because she doesn't believe she can be seen as a woman unless she's 'fooling' someone. Despite this she still chooses to dress and act as a woman in non-swindling social situations, meaning she wants to be PERCEIVED as a woman, not to mention she has never once chosen to dress as a man even in a private setting (only example being something gero imagined in his own head). Additionally, she wishes she were Gero's actual bride (see the wedding photo chapter) but doesn't believe herself to be an option not just because she doesn't see herself as a 'real girl' but also because she cannot bear children.

TL;DR trans girl kinosaki subtext my beloved that is all.

i just think that in reading kinosaki's gender you have to consider things like her belief that she is going to die, the way she tries to stop gero from getting too invested in a relationship with her, and the way she looked at that photo of her in a wedding dress with gero.

the answer to "why would a trans woman repeatedly call herself a guy" (other than she is a fictional character subject to the biases of the author) is the same reason she would repeatedly cut off a relationship with someone she is clearly in love with. sometimes characters do not sincerely mean the things they say. she makes that face after saying this is all just practice so it doesnt count. shes not exactly forthcoming about her feelings

FINALLY the take I've been trying to get at
