Looking for gender bender isekai manga where mc actually likes being female and wants to be female because they find out that their gender identifies with being female and they never where male

It's a bonus if it features trans allegory

Also if your reconendation does feature romance it needs be be yuri because I don't have any intrest in straight romances and they turn me off

I don't read much manga, so perhaps this is a common title but "Inside Mari" resonated with me on a substantial level. I only know of it from being posted about it in a few trans spaces. If you haven't read it, I'd recommend to going in blind. It seems like a cliche freaky friday body swap but it's something much different.

I have read Inside Mari in its entirety and it does not actually qualify as being gender bender even though some sites tag it as such because

Spoiler Alert:

Mari actually has a psychological illness that makes her beleive she is a man that body swapped with her, no body swap actually occurs

It also has some straight stuff in earlier chapters

Inside Mari was my first manga and I love all of Oshimi Shuzou's work

For a more in-depth exploration of gender-identity by the author I recommend Okaeri Alice.
