| To make it simple: yuri as +18 and <18 titles. There are titles that has main character cross-dressing as female. In Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru main character act as female. Except first episode and a few moments we don't see "him" but "her". While watching Otome... I had similar feelings like Marimite. On other hand, in a Maria+Holic main character acts mainly (not in good way - sadism etc). It's a parody. There is one crossdressing man in a Sasameki koto but it's similar to Maria+holic - just a comedy. In a Boku no futatsu no tsubasa main heroine is a hemafrodite. In a IS: Otoko demo Onna demo nai Sei the character are intersex. So, I'm wondering how do you feel about male acting as female in yuri. Does it matter if a title has a "feeling" like a good titles like Marimite. Do you call yuri a show that mocks yuri (Maria+holic) What about other character that are not male or female. Does matter how person look? We have yuri with a tomboish characters and it is still yuri. Does it matter if person has breasts and/or female reproductive organs. I bet there is yuri with a young character without breasts. I guess that there is a yuri with female that has damaged (or something similar) organ. In both cases they are still considered yuri. There are lots of different yuri, so it's difficult to exclude titles "just because it looks lie normal couple". So what is the boundaries of yuri. Where is the place that you say "no, it's not yuri any more". |

| my personal view is that binaries are a little too constraining, i prefer to keep things a little more fluid and open therefore to me, again, personally, in my view, opinion, this is just me okay, yuri is kind of like girl-adjecent love, the MCs gotta have some connection to womanhood present in their identity, but they dont necessarily have to fit the box of what is culturally and societally understood as "woman"; basically opening the genre up to non-binary characters; i believe there might be a case for some characters which are referred to by the show/manga itself as crossdressers, it very much depends whether the character actually does insist on maleness personally; im pretty sure some crossdresser characters entered the trans canon, which according to my personal view and logic would classify them as yuri; i have the agency to interpret things however i interpret them right and shit i tried to sound smart but i got tired of it mid post basically its kinda vibes-based thats what i mean lmao, if i sense yuri vibes then its yuri, even if the character might not necessarily be a binary cis woman, its a feeling u know, something that cannot really be strictly defined imho while reading a bunch of crossdresser manga i could easily sense some characters as definitely dudes who crossdress and others as wow this is a bit more complicated, theyre not really a dude thats just me tho obviously i am not in favor of dissolving the genre altogether or completely opening it up to everything, there is a utilitarian case for categories obviously, so the search function makes sense and there isn't irrelevant shit there, im just saying that the way people experience yuri is kind of personal, so a strict classificaiton with specific rules wouldnt really make sense, it would only put arbitary impositions on the love stories u know |
