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.

Hope she they tries

We must recognize "their" choice of pronouns but given that there is only one of they, the law on verb number has not been changed as far as I am aware, so the verb remains in the singular at least according to the grammar I was taught in school.

No he, she or it, just “they”. Is “they” now a sex?

Sure seems like it.

Satan and his spirit of antichrist are especially busy these days.

The demons are working overtime.

It has been the Last Days, even the Last Hour, since John the Evangelist was writing.

Does that mean she has to have a hysterectomy and add something to the front?

Yes, interesting that she said she’ll live as a pretend “man” when she quits soccer. Won’t more testosterone make her strong as a man, so she could win playing as a man? No?

Multiple personalities appear, after a child endures severe sexual abuse, beginning as a very young child. Many alternate personalities are of the opposite sex.

Watching the final season of “Bosch”, a sub-plot involves the “defamation” of two homosexual women - really disgusting.

Culture continues pushing this evil mental disorder on us to normalize this chosen behaviour,

No doubt the end goal is to legalize pedophilia and whatever other perverse activities they do.
