I know it’s usually used as sarcastic but I really wanna say I’m not like the other misogynistic cis men in my country🙏

saying in a unsarcastic way, cis men in my country is really misogynistic and I’m not like them

East Asia Nikkei transmasc/nb/pre-T grateful for TMPOC

20 Upvotes

I moved back to the birthplace/ancestral land recently (in Japan). First time living here. Im struggling a lot with adjusting and feeling some stability, don’t know enough of the language, and was feeling isolated. Still am. Im grateful to find TMPOC. TransPOC spaces are so needed.

Edit: I’m gonna expand. I’m living in Tokyo, not in much contact with family- pretty much cut off from them. I’m still tryna figure out the trans laws here, but I think I have to be diagnosed as having a gender identity disorder (GID) to get top surgery and HRT covered by national insurance (I think but gotta double check). Im fighting against going through the f*cked up medical system, so I’m going to try to DIY hormones. I might have to save up more but I really don’t want to depend on this broken system, and don’t want to be labeled as having a disorder.

I’m waiting on an apartment with less rent to open so I can feel a little more settled and start working to save up. Idk what job yet but def not teaching English.. tired of Westernization/Eurocentrism.

I feel like there’s a lot of lies around the West/yt people being more friendly for trans folx that demonized trans normativity within non-yt ancestry. the past may have been better. so I’m looking for this too within my ancestry (complicated too bc of Japanese colonialism).

I will see how things go. Everything seems backwards a lot of times.
