The book presents different stories of transgender people in Japan. One of the major psychological hurdles for transgender people is to disclose their gender identity to those around them, the so-called "coming out." Will I be able to gain an understanding of those around me, and will I be accepted by my parents?
The hurdles vary depending on the era of birth and environment, but those who have no fear of prejudice or discrimination are probably in the minority. In particular, in the case of people with "gender identity disorder" (GID), whose physical sex and mind are different at birth, many people want a treatment such as sex reassignment surgery, so parents of transgender people must feel confused and helpless.
