Tokyo Comic-Con Reverses Ban of Men Cosplaying as Women

Update (Oct. 27): Tokoo Comic-Con has reversed its "crossplay" ban and will allow men to dress up as female characters. In a statement (translated by the Anime Herald), the cancellation was announced, but the convention added that it will issue gender-specific registration cards that attendees will need to confirm at bathrooms and changing rooms.

While the ban was a step in the right direction, we are hoping there are no issues if someone identifies with a gender different than what they were assigned at birth. Read on for the initial report.
