Summary

A customer called him “ladies”; staff and children have also mistaken him for a girl, especially with long hair. He refuses to change his hairstyle or grow a beard, joking about shaving his head at 2,000 subscribers. He thinks Western dating rewards masculinity, whereas Japan’s acceptance of feminine- looking men better suits his appearance and wish to remain himself.

Insight

He frames gender ambiguity as a fit problem, favouring acceptance over reshaping himself for approval.
