...Oh, lemme clarify. I didn't mean to suggest that I disagreed with you (or agreed with the other commentator Bells quoted.) I view Naoto as something close to the commentator's position of her being 'genderless' or perhaps 'androgynous', but I also think P4's content was inexcusably transphobic and offensive to any transsexual player (or ally) who chose to identify Naoto as transsexual.

Just clarifying that.

That being said, I'm still eager to read your responses to this person on the blog because I think you two can have a solid discussion on the matter; it'll be far easier for you to persuade him/her, and a better use of time than wasting effort trying to persuade Bells or Pip.
