hi i’m a 19 year old japanese girl who was born in japan and went to preschool there. i’m a lesbian and i was thinking abt telling that to my pre school friends that i go see every year when i travel back to japan in the summer.

im ngl i have no idea what their political views are bc japanese ppl dont talk abt that and i honestly dont know how accepting they are abt queer ppl. in my general knowledge ik that majority of japan isnt that rlly accepting of queer ppl esp within their own culture and im honestly scared of what their reaction could be…

does anyone know how accepting the gen Z of Japan is of the lgbtq+ community…?

Where can a 38 year old gay American have some uninhibited fun. Was thinking of getting to the eagle and then daikichi. I heard there’s a sports spa further out of the gay district that is fun too.

And bars worth visiting for a drink before that too let me know!! Thanks 💋

im not from Japan never been their either but i was just curious how is it being gay in the bathhouses where every other guy is butt naked

My post got removed so I'm going to ask again. I'm planning on moving to Osaka in a few years. I currently reside in Australia and am trans fem. What are some areas I should look at living in. Walking distance to train stations, but not the middle of the city. Something where I can get the best of city and semi rural. I plan on buying an Akiya.

Anyone know a place for a test ? Someone told me 40k and I don't want to pay that much ;(

Okay, maybe not drum circles every night at sunset but if you could live anywhere in Okinawa for a month—not as a tourist, but as someone who wanted a healthy, social, conscious lifestyle—where would you choose? I'm looking for a place with yoga, meditation, running groups, healthy cafés (açaí bowls, avocado toast, muesli), digital nomads, sunsets, and again, genuine community. Where would you base yourself? Can it be done on a shoestring budget? Bascially, Where do the yoga people, runners, remote workers, meditators, creatives, and healthy café crowd actually spend their time?

are there any out there… if so how’s it like socially/in the dating scene with both locals and foreigners? the only foreign transmasc i know of there is some underground idol influencer

Researchers at James Cook University are seeking participants for an anonymous online study examining attraction, dating preferences, and partner evaluation.

As part of the study, you will view a series of fictional dating profiles and answer questions about attraction and relationship preferences. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of how people evaluate potential romantic partners.

To participate, you must be 18 years of age or older and identify as heterosexual, gay, or lesbian. The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous and voluntary.

We recognise the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community. While the current study is limited to heterosexual, gay, and lesbian participants, it forms part of a broader research program that has included, and will continue to include, people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

This study forms part of a Doctor of Philosophy research project at James Cook University and has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at James Cook University (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

Hey all. I'm a trans fem, currently residing in Australia. In the next couple of years I'm planning on moving to Osaka. I plan on buying an Akiya. I was just curious if there are any other trans fems around Osaka and what it's like living there, or even some areas I should look into living.

Nichome sounds a little intimidating to me who is super shy and relatively old now that i've crossed into my 30s. Am I doomed for life?
