Known for her many books, including "The Nuclear Power Plant Crisis and the University of Tokyo Talk," "Who Killed the Little Prince: The Trap of Moral Harassment," and "The Art of Living," Ayumu Yasutomi has become a hot topic for appearing on TV as a professor at the University of Tokyo dressed as a woman.
Professor Yasutomi started wearing women's clothes after successfully dieting and losing weight. And she realized that wearing women's clothes gives her an extraordinary sense of security.
This is a book that describes the history of the process of dressing as a woman, and what she felt and thought about the process.
What she learned from that experience was the discovery that "pretending to be not yourself" is the "root of all violence"!
According to Wikipedia, Ayumi Yasutomi (安冨 歩) was born in 1963. She is a Japanese economist and politician, a professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies on Asia at the University of Tokyo. She came out as a transgender woman in 2014. She graduated from Kyoto University in 1991 with a degree in economics and continued to graduate with a PhD in 1997 on the financial history of Manchuria. Her first tenured post was as a Visiting Research Associate at the London School of Economics, 1996–97. In 1997 she was employed as Assistant Professor at Nagoya University until moving to the University of Tokyo in 2000.
In 2009, she was promoted to Professor, after holding several assistant professor roles at the university. She is a specialist in the economics of Manchuria, whose research received a Nikkei Economics Culture Award. Other research interests include the socio-ecology of East Asia, theoretical economics, population dynamics, Peter Drucker, and the thoughts of Confucius. In July 2018 she ran as a candidate in the mayoral elections for Higashimatsuyama, near Tokyo. She lost to the current candidate Koichi Morita by a margin of 12,000 votes. In her campaign agenda, her main priority was a focus on bringing an end to child abuse. In 2019, she was one of ten candidates from the new Reiwa Shinsengumi party to stand for election to the House of Councillors. The film Reiwa Uprising was made about Yasutomi's attempt to be elected and was screened at the Tokyo Film Festival in 2019.
