Tensei Pandemic - Vol. 5 Ch. 33 - Sudden encounter

Can you really call it a pandemic when everyone who's been infected is totally okay with it?
 
>Gender changing pandemic
Does that include "attack helicopter" and other 72 genders?
 
Remember that releasing a sex-changing virus upon an unwilling populace is still bio-terrorism, even if it's gay as fuck.
 
Wow, I didn't expect it to be such a plot-heavy chapter. Nice. And sorry, president, but I really, really wish that Yurina says "I don't mind, I'm bi, you know?". Or something like that 😄 (no, seriously, I don't like the president as a love interest for Hinata; I don't find his pushy attitude funny or endearing at all).

@xyzzy
Perhaps that's the point. That the virus is designed to give each person the gender they truly desire. If Hinata really wanted to be a boy again, he would. But the doctor probably thinks he's in denial, hence the "You should accept it".
 
@icantnotthink

True, but it might not be labeled as such since it is not a direct cause of death or physical disability (like paralysis, necrosis, bone damage, etc...). It just changes gender. And since one's gender will never be labeled as a disability / mental illness, you get this grey area. Especially because only one of the many effected people in this story are not fully ok with it (but its getting there, maybe like 45% ok with it, and anything above 50% is more ok than not ok).

At most this causes varying amounts of temporary distress and a few issues with legal identifications and such (depending on culture, effects may be more severe or more accepted too). I believe currently it would be labeled as such, but may not be kept as such in the long run.
 
@Misticsan President is being abusive from the start, and this is really bothersome. I like that Pres had developments, but they didn't change the behavior, so, Hina with Yurina is the best couple here, at least their relationship isn't problematic
 
This is giving a lot of evidence to the theory that the virus only works on people that are already transgender. In the doctor's eyes, their pandemic would result in "good" being done to the world if it only applies to them.
 
I'm definitely on the anti-president team here. I've had enough of him/her and their shenanigans. They just keep getting worse.
 
At least, what Yako explain about the virus is same as most of our theory. Now, a wild idea come to my mind: "what if, Yurina want Hinata, a girl Hinata, and she kissed him to force her change gender. I mean, her brother already changed, someone also need to replace him.

Whether or not they're ok with it doesn't change what it is. =/
