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.

“Still, if “they” claim they are really male, then “they” should be kicked off the women’s soccer team and be made to try out for the men’s team.”

Japan doesn’t recognize the transition. In the excerpt.

Then there is that one fella that had his sex changed so he is now a girl. He has made it into the Olympics, and after he beats all the girls he’s going to burn the American flag on the medals podium. So...... we have that to look forward to.

I have read somewhere that in Japan, if one wishes
to officially change gender, one needs to cut out/off their birth genitalia.
If so, would explain why that human likes it here.

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

As the dementia eats away at his filters he will feel more inclined to do so. The really bizarre and scary thing is the people around him may actually encourage him to do it. It won't conflict with their overall agenda. In fact it will fit right in.

His facelift hasn’t improved much but he must have gotten some better dentures. Remember how they were clacking around back at the time of the debates?

And this matters as to how they play in what way? How is it germane to the sport and who gives a F’k? I guess it wasn’t feeling special enough so it decided to attention whore.

I think IT is a woman that wants to be a man, THEREFORE, it’s obvious IT wants to quit soccer bc IT could never compete on a man’s team. Now if IT was a man going to woman, then by all means IT would be wanting to play against women on the women’s team. You never see female to male playing men’s sports, obvious

They is in the locker room with all women but “they” is a woman too. But they thinks they is a man which makes they a lesbian because they’s attraction to chicks. But if they is a guy because they thinks they is a guy but with the chicks in the locker room then they is a heterosexual because they likes women like normal men. BTW and no guy would touch this thing for a hundred grand I saw their picture. Smart move for her changing to a guy.

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

Yes it is a mental illness. Many doctors agree. It is not a condition to be treated by radical surgery and hormone applications.

So if John Lennon’s widow thinks this is acceptable but he editorial writer disagrees and so does a famous cellist, the headline might read

Oh,no, Yoko Ono Okays Yokoyama, Yo Yo Ma Says No.
