[And that response is borderline offensive to Yukiko and just highlights the problem even more.]
Personal or not, you came to me.
I don't take offense but you being overly harsh and secretive of this is why you are having this difficulty. You seem to forget that I don't know why you're doing it or why you are so protective of it. You have never told me why, but that's your right.
I will be brutally honest here: my advice is to stop hiding your true self. And I don't just mean gender. I mean be who you are.
If you feel that you are a boy, then you are? People will accept that you are transitioning. But if you feel you are a girl then be a girl. You don't have to wear dresses and makeup and conform to a stereotype. If you're nonbinary or something that's fine too.
But if you want to have friendships like Ayano, or have acquaintances like me, you absolutely need to be willing to share. Or people will feel like you're lying to them or looking down on them.
