It's not just that this manga gets it. The author of "She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat" ( @thakaome_uzzaki ) has CONSISTENYLY stood up for LGBTQ+ rights in Japan publicly (which many authors avoid for the fear of social repurcussions from the cis heteronormative majority).

⚠️ Important Tip⚠️ For those who are living in Japan (esp. women or femmes), if any guy asks you to call his phone using your phone, you can put 184 before calling his number. Adding 184 in Japan will make your call appear as "unknown caller," allowing your # to be not recorded

This OP is a 70 y/o grandma from Japan. She writes that she gave up crafting b/c of her illness which gave her shaky hands 😢 But recently, she started making Gundam models (influences by her grandchild). She says she was reminded of how fun it is to make things. (1/2)

This is just an additional trivia about Megumi Ogata, but Ogata played Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus in the original Japanese Sailor Moon TV series (1993 - 1997) in addition to playing major young male characters in JP anime.

Something happened last week right at the end of Pride Month that was so fucked up in JP politics in regards to LGBTQIA+ rights, and it took me the weekend to process because it made me so fucking upset to write words. But I'm ready to go fucking ballistic right now 🧵

PSS. I was reading through my thread & realized it should be noted that Miwa has come out as a gay person in late 1950s (!!!) He was met by backlash & decrease in popoularity back then.

But he regained his popularity in 1960s by holding a recital featuring only his original songs, which was the first of its kind to ever happen in Japan. The rest is history. He has become one of the highly revered performers in Japanese entertainment industry.

虎 ("tora" = tiger(s)) are sometimes used as mascots by JP trans people because "transgender" in JP is トランスジェンダー ("toransujendah"). One such example of JP trans mascot usage of tiger: Kinky Transgender Meeting in Kinki Region (around Osaka).

One person of a queer couple* in Japan adopting the other partner as their "child" happens quite often and many choose to do so because the Japanese government has yet to legalize marriage equality or else they won't have legal recognition of their partners as a family member.

Note: The Japanese Wiki page for Miwa has more details of his life. () Also, he has written multiple books including his autobiography 紫の履歴書 ("The Purple Résumé") in Japanese if you'd like to get more insight into his life.

Tip: If you find an unknown AirTag in your belonging (potential stalking), take off the back panel of the AirTag, take the battery out, and there will be a finely printed serial number. Serial number can reveal who the Tag belongs to. Take it to Apple & the police, if necessary

As a younger generation of Japanese trans person, I am delighted to see these pictures of trans elders who came before me 💗 Gender-affirming care is available in modern Japan, but it comes with great hurdles, and there's MUCH to be done to progress our rights in my nation.

Japan had a short-lived heyday of transgender self-determination in the midcentury. Multiple clinics offered gender-affirming surgeries from ~1950-1965 before the nation banned them. Trans people hung out on the streets of Tokyo like in these Katsumi Watanabe photos I colorized:

Appreciate the show of solidarity with the Israeli people during this difficult time. The Japanese people know better than anyone the anguish of seeing loved ones abducted. It is morally wrong to take civilian hostages. We pray for the safe return of all the hostages from Gaza
