Rumiko Miyazaki is a Japanese blogger and the author of "I'm Transgender - Between Two Sexes... A High School Teacher's Way of Life" (2000).
'Transvestites, transgenders, people with gender dysphoria, transsexuals... Whatever form of change it takes, there are many ways to describe people who want to live with a different gender. It seems that each word has its own meaning and definition, but it is difficult to draw a clear line, and many people do not want to be delineated and categorized.
It's good. There are many ways of self-identification.'
'In the past (and maybe even now), there are people who categorize and speak ill of people who are different from them. I think it's deplorable. I will not dwell on such categories here.
In any case, I would like to recommend that people who want to live across sexual borders and heal the moments when they feel liberated by going for a walk or traveling in cross-dressing.
When I was in junior high school, I began to feel a strong desire to be different. However, in Kumamoto, which has a conservative climate where I lived until high school, it was difficult to think of cross-dressing at that time. '
'After my university graduation, I left my parents and lived in Sapporo City. So, I started working part-time at a transsexual shop called Golden K, which was little known at the time. What surprised me was that when I started working part-time for about half a year, I didn't seem to be paid for my part-time job, but I was surprised and relieved to learn that Midori-san was a professor at Hokkaido University and that even professors do crossdress. Now, young people have become free in their identity expression. I think it's a good time. I want society to recognize us as we are.'
