Japanese Soccer Player Yokoyama Comes Out As Transgender
NPR ^ | 06/23/21 | AP

TOKYO — Japanese soccer player Kumi Yokoyama said they are transgender — a revelation praised in the U.S. where they play in the National Women's Soccer League but an identity not legally recognized in Japan.

The 27-year-old forward for the Washington Spirit said they felt more comfortable with their own gender identity while living in the United States, where teammates and friends are more open to gender and sexual diversity.

"I'm coming out now," Yokoyama said in a video talk on former teammate Yuki Nagasato's YouTube channel. "In the future, I want to quit soccer and live as a man."

Yokoyama's revelation was praised by President Joe Biden.

I was just pointing out that soccer is a foreigner sport and real Americans don't care. Our views are not contradictory.

"they felt more comfortable with their own gender identity while living in the United States"

Where mental illness is praised, and children are taught to aspire to it.

“Transgender people in Japan also must have their reproductive organs removed to have their gender recognized on official documents”

Might have an issue back home...

LOL!

He should have never been allowed to play for the women’s team. It’s all been a lie. Forfeit everything.

Just a simple request: If a woman is both a lesbo and an athlete, could she just feel comfortable with such a life? Or is there something inherently wrong with what lesbos are doing to each other that they have to take a bunch of chemicals and surgeries to try to feel better about themselves.? It is sort of like building a house on unstable swamp sand and then trying to make the house into a solid structure while it continues to sit on unstable swamp sand. Maybe a lesbo could do research on how lesbos can be fulfilled and not empty with their life styles and love interests.

“Japanese soccer player Kumi Yokoyama said they are transgender”

Should it not be plural, “soccer players Kuni Yokoyama” to agree in number?

National Propaganda Radio added to terrorist-Associated Propaganda gives you a tsunami of Wokeness.

Reading those first couple of sentences almost sprained my sense of English.

Naturally, Grandpa Lid chimed in [actually, his handlers chimed in] with the obligatory praisin':

Yokoyama's revelation was praised by Puppetdent Joek Bidet.

His handlers had him do this a day or two ago with the fag football player:

U.S. Puppetdent Joek Bite-em praised the courage of the Las Vegas Raiders' Carl Nassib for becoming the National Football League's (NFL) first openly gay active player

Maybe PedJoe will come out as the first Pedo President...

Why does she think anyone gives a flying f***?! I didn’t even know there was a Women’s Pro Soccer League and therefore also didn’t know there was a Washington team. So I sure as hell never heard of Yokoyama before a day or so ago....

I think what this all comes down to is narcissism. ‘Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!’. Of course she and her ilk are all freaks who insist that they be accepted as normal, which makes it malignant narcissism.

The game at its top level has many American fans. But women's soccer?! Nope. Less fans than the WNBA.

People who pretend they are the opposite sex are mentally ill. Also referring to yourself as plural.
