Toei again. Probably the single most annoying term they've pushed on FUNi, because as you mentioned, it's not even close to what "Okama Way" actually means. Now, if they'd called it "Crossdresser Way" or something, that would have been acceptable, if somewhat awkward-sounding, but "Oh Come My Way" is just nonsense.
