This is incredibly cute!
I'm loving this so much, thanks for translating!
It's too early to say whether there are obstacles, but despite the authors positive way of phrasing things I think it was pretty clear there was some drama.
However, I'm not sure I agree with your implication that the portrayal is 'fake' just because it concerns an unusually fortunate case and doesn't focus on the drama. Just because that isn't what she doesn't want to talk about, doesn't mean that the rest of what the author is saying needn't be valid.
Thanks Hachimitsu!
Another good series from our good pal Hachimitsu Scans, thank you!
No, no
It all goes too easy, there is no obstacles or drama, everyone agrees to everything, everyone loves everyone, this is basically a how-to/propaganda pamphlet. Even the art is overdone on how cutesy it is.
Oh, alright then, thanks for the info.
Chii-chan's mom is so awesome~~~~~ TT^TT
I really like this kind of story where the author is telling their life story.

Long story short: No.
Slightly longer explanation: The term "disorder" has a very specific definition in the medical profession unlike the common language. Countless numbers of people used to die because medical terms were used incorrectly/dumbed down for/by the masses and then misunderstood (ie. "gay disease" = non-gays can't get the disease.)
While I'm sure there were (and are) many struggles along Chii's journey, I just love how lighthearted this is presented. It just oozes happiness and love!
I look forward to seeing more! Thanks Hachimitsu!
So basically, the name change is so that resources can be directed to solve the mental affliction and to mitigate the misuse of the term "disorder" as a form of mockery, but the term itself isn't actually incorrect.
Did I get it right?
Well, in a way, there is a disorder (mental gender and biological sex do no match), but the DMR doesn't list this 'disorder', it lists the 'dysphoria". That anguish and distress of having the wrong body. The DMR is a book used to identify and help treat mental afflictions. Since the mismatched feeling is the sore point, treatment goes into solving that distress, not try to fix the mental gender somehow.
Calling gender dysphoria a disease or disorder is a common thing done by transphobic people. An innocent word originally intended to help can be turned into something to hurt.
With the change from from GID to Gender Dysphoria there's more focus on helping people deal with their distress rather than seeing the actual gender as something to be fixed. This means that treatment might not always include transitioning.
Well, this is unusually cute.
Now bear with my ignorance, since I have close to zero knowledge about this topic, but I'm curious as to why wouldn't it be considered a disorder. Wouldn't the disorder between a person's mental and physical condition be a, well, disorder?
LOL at ch 2... XD
