Do you think that "nonbinary" is valid?

This is exactly why I want the TQ+ dropped. To be nonbinary, all you have to do is identify as such. And this makes it possible for spaces that were intended for gay, lesbian and bisexual people to be taken over and dominated by straight people who call themselves nonbinary.

By the way, why are there nonbinary people in Japan? I would have figured that the Japanese wouldn't be this stupid to let this ideology into their country. But this craze has happened over there. What gives? Hopefully, LGB activists and Japanese society at large won't pander to these morons.

By the way, why are there nonbinary people in Japan?¨

Because the societal expectations and gender roles for men and women are so strict in Japan so that when you don't conform to those expectations, you '' naturally '' start to feel like you don't belong and you are not a man or a woman. I speculate that even liking the same sex, a lot of people would conflate with something to do with gender instead of sexuality. '' I'm a man but I like men, but men don't like men so I must not be a man '' etc. Doesn't help that LGBT education and LGBT representation isn't that great.

That’s terrible to hear.

By the way, is Japan becoming more gay friendly? Or has trans activism taken over?

It's getting better, you see more drama's with gay main characters, JRPGs with romances often have a same sex route and Youtube is becoming a big venue for LGBT content creators, gay male couples and them doing cute everyday stuff kind of channels are becoming bigger. But there's still plenty of misconceptions about LGBT and I think people tolerate such people, but not really accept or understand them. Most Japanese people will never have any contact with LGBT people in their lifetime.

Trans activism hasn't taken over, not from what I've seen.

I’m glad that trans activism hasn’t taken over in Japan. Hopefully it never will.
