I SAID IT! FUCK JAPAN! It’s the uninterrupted continuation of Imperial Japan, and it unilaterally deserves it’s just condemnation for the horror it’s wrecked across Asia.
this is much smaller potatoes compared to what japan has done across asia, but it’s an issue that hits close to home. to legally transition, you have to A. be sterilized, B. have no kids (under age 20), and C. be single.
it’s Not a good look and i’ve been very much wanting to complain about it.
in Japan for instance it’s pretty ok to be gender nonconformist and has been for a long time
Hm, I’d have to say that I’d have to do an examination of modern Japanese culture but from my studies into the history of Japan from the cold war back Japan’s gone through a cultural transformation stemming from the Meij era that changed Japan’s attitude towards gender from being that of a more open and non-conformist to a more western orientated cultural perspective on gender norms due to it’s drive towards “modernization” in order to not be swallowed up by western imperialists.
