After criticism from Sanseito’s Kamiya that Japan’s LGBT Awareness Act could allow trans women to use women’s bathrooms, the Minster in Charge has made it clear that the Act will not grant rights to LGBT people, and instead simply promotes “understanding”.

The only people who should be allowed to use the women’s bathroom are women and Japanese men installing cameras.
Seriously, though, if someone presents as a woman, how is it better for them to use the men’s bathroom? Or vice versa?
I have secret knowledge…. Trans women already use women’s bathrooms. You wouldn’t know it… because they are women. lol

Same garbage as maga. Foreigners, Trans, all of that is just easy targets…
Far right people all about understanding until it comes to them understanding something and I say this as someone who’s usually told I am right wing.
Whether you like LGBT or not, whether they make you comfortable or uncomfortable, why do people care? It’s a bit weird to me. Non of my business what consenting adults and so on do, is it so hard to mind your own business and focus on keeping your own house clean before pointing fingers at others who are just living their lives.
Good thing most toilets in bars and restaurants are gender neutral, almost like it doesn’t matter.
It’s a poop and pee room
I don’t care who uses it. I just care that no one secretly tapes people/ and that they flush
Isn’t Kamiya the dude who also said society should give pdf files a break?
Understanding = tolerance = acceptance.
A government is either gay or it isn’t, it can’t be both. President Obama campaigned against same-sex marriage, yet he was having the White House lit up in rainbows to celebrate LGBT Pride by the end of his tenure.
Is this minister trying to similarly slow-walk Japan to going gay?
