-[X] Shizue doesn't understand.
-[X] Shizue has so many questions. (And she doesn't know where to start)
--[X] Is Genta-kun (or um... Maki-chan?) Wearing make-up?!?
--[X] Has Genta-kun been a girl this whole time?
--[X] How long has this been a thing?
--[X] How long has Saya known?
--[X] Who else knows about this? Does Erika?
--[X] Um... if Genta-kun wants to be a girl, why doesn't he use Transformation jutsu?
--[X] Is this why Genta likes boys?
--[X] Does this mean Saya likes girls?
---[X] or girls who are boys? Boys who are girls? Uh, I'm sorry! I'm still confused.
--[X] Should I refer to ...past-Genta as Genta or Maki-chan?
--[X] Wait, is this related to the brothel incident? What happened there?
--[X] I guess this explains why Genta was so good at role-playing girls.
--[X] Should I, um, keep this secret?
--[X] oh, God. Am I a bad friend for not noticing this?!?
--[X] What does all this mean?!?

Is there an actual difference between the two?

Yeah, if both the leading votes are valid, then the required amount of confusion is way lower than I thought it would be. (And no matter what we pick, we're still probably going to be at the mercy of social dice anyways.) If either of the super-similar leading votes are good enough, then this was too easy. I'm changing back to my fun vote, in protest of excessive sensibility.

I am pretty sure calling it "disguised" is uh.
Not the best phrasing.

I agree completely. And you're vote is my second choice, but I don't want to change to a less popular vote as it stands.

I realise Shizue (not Sizue) has no idea that this would be an absolutely horrible thing to say, but I hope you do. We aren't being sensible: we're trying not to be arseholes as best we can given how Shizue knows nothing about transpeople or issues. Call that sensible if you like. I personally thing decent is a better word for it.
 
> disguised

It's intentional. Shizue has seen Genta use female disguises quite often, and so her best point of understanding in this situation is her past experience of Genta using female henges during missions. She doesn't know any better and has no idea that transexualism is a thing that exists. But she has seen Genta being enthusiastic while disguising as a girl. The idea came from NemoMarx's analysis here.
 
Can my write-in have five last-minute votes please? Less if some people are switching! :D

Tallied, boss!
 
There's an argument that it's IC, I guess, and that Maki getting upset at us could have some roleplaying potential.

...I guess.

I mean, that's IC argument for it, but it is not more IC than not using it and I am not sure roleplaying potential for sticking foot so deep into mouth is all that great.

Maki will have enough of such things hurled her way when she talks about it to others of Emicolle anyway. At least somebody...

Hey, Saya is totally understanding. I mean, not always in the best way? But eh. More people should dress up prettily and wear makeup. :V
