-> it is incorrect to push a modernized explanation
That\\\'s the issue here. Anything outside of crossdressing gay and transgender being conflated \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a modernized explanation. The author admits that it would be a different story if begun today, but we can only trope what does exist. With the assumption that the author only knows Japanese and that the interview was translated into French, they are taking a midern interpretation that Hibari represents a trans character, so anything about the French translation should write Hibari as female, but that doesn\\\'t necessarily apply to the Japanese version.
