Hi so I've been open about being a trans woman
I've been transitioning & now looking into gender affirming surgeries such as facial feminization surgery but it's expensive since it isn't covered in Japan & I need help
Any amount would be appreciated! Thx

@maospiral They’re not the worst but they’re definitely the most hypocritical and I think that’s the point people are making. They’re the only ones who act like they’re morally superior.
I’m queer, and politicians like her & Takaichi (both part of the same Abe faction) are the reason why we don’t have rights here in Japan. So I am dead serious when I tell you this is PERSONAL to me. There is a reason why I never root for team Japan. Sport is political EVERYWHERE.
And as a Japanese person, let me also say this. JSF was also run by a conservative LDP politician who’s part of an ultraconservative organization (which Takaichi’s also a part of) until very recently (2019) and that politician is still seen in this picture, smiling and clapping.
the trauma south korea still faces because of the japanese empire to this day is devastating. takeichi has visited nazi memorial shrines, supports taking south korean land and denies the existence of comfort women. no nuance fixes that. i am so disappointed in team japan today
to anyone who genuinely thought there were a better person, more woke, or more leftist because they stan team japan rather than usa or russia, you’re not. there’s no way to wokely stan international sports; all athletes are state propaganda tools

@hwanwoosh It’s probably bc it doesn’t make sense to do them in a competitive program from a mathematical standpoint. But now that the rules have changed and there’s one less jumping pass, it might make more sense to put one
