My Transgender Date
Tokyo is one of the biggest and most modern cities in the world. It’s often praised for its contemporary style mixed with traditional Japanese culture. This also reflects how they are as a society. There are conservative values and traditions that they uphold, but they remain mostly progressive when it comes to the LGBT community. According to a survey, more than 50% of the Japanese population is accepting and tolerant of LGBT individuals.
Getting to know transgender women in Tokyo
Compared to rural places in Japan or the smaller cities, Tokyo often gets many tourists and a handful of migrants which means that the people here are often exposed to different cultures and practices other than their own. They’re a lot less likely to discriminate openly, but because of their conservative ways, Japanese transgender women are often closeted opting to reveal their gender identity only when absolutely necessary.
But with visibility in the media and other countries slowly being more accepting of the LGBT, Tokyo might be one of the cities in Japan that will change its laws regarding LGBT in the future. Organizations like Colorful @ Heart and Rainbow Community coLLabo are helping the community and its members to understand LGBT and to spread awareness towards the fight for equality. In the future, we hope that with continued efforts transgender women will be able to live their truths in Tokyo and find love easily.
