Child -bearing motherとftm Full Full q & a Part 1 ( Japanese )

Hi youtube viewers As I said in the last video The transgender interview with my mom is completed So I am going to start reading them The first question is When was the first time you heard the term transgender? I first heard the term about 10 years ago on Japanese Television. Number 2 When I first came out, was it hard to accept your own son is transgender? I was able to accept him right away. Ever since Jesse was young, he acted like a boy and was boyish so when he transitioned to male it felt normal to me. Number 3 We�re you afraid of what other people/friends and family would think? Yes I was afraid, but I felt very lucky after noticing that everyone around me we�re very open and kindly accepting the situation. I was very relieved. Number 4 Was it difficult to understand what transgender is and its meanings? On TV they explained it very well that I was able to understand the meaning clearly. Number 5 Have you heard of the term X gender? No, I have never heard of it Number 6 Tell me about adjusting to pronouns, was it difficult (espically in English conversation)? The usual conversation was in Japanese so it wasn�t a hard adjustment at all. Number 7 What was it like for your own son to go through a major surgery? I am his mother so any kind of surgeries he goes through is worrisome but, Its for him to because himself so of course i support him in that aspect. Number 8 Do you think there could have been a transgender person in our family in the past? I am no sure, but there is a possibility. Number 9 What do you think about the term GID (Gender Identity Disorder)? The word disorder in GID bothers me a bit. I think that its only a way to live as yourself. Number 10 Do you think transgender- related surgeries should be cosmetic or covered by medical insurance? If you are diagnosed by a doctor that you have GID then I think the surgeries should be covered by insurance. Unless the price of the surgeries increases, it�s a huge burden on the people having to pay for it. Number 11 What do you think about the LGBT movement in Japan? Compared to overseas? I�ve never been Involved in it so I am not sure. This is all for now This week I will be making a part two very soon All the questions are the ones my mom answered Thats all for now Thanks for listening See you
