Gender change – what it means to be human

"Still life with pothos (in progress)" watercolor

While watching ``Animal Skeletons'' on YouTube,、I happened to watch a video about "cosmetic surgery"。In that flow、I also ended up watching a video of someone undergoing gender reassignment surgery (before and after the surgery).。why should i do this、Considering the reality that even after surgery, people are still driven to suicide.、quite a shocking time。I can't believe you'll show it to me with laughter。

A few days later on July 10th、a transgender woman、In a domestic relations tribunal requesting permission to change the gender on the family register without surgery.、The Hiroshima High Court has determined that the necessary requirements are met.、There was news that。This hearing is not a lawsuit with a particular opponent.、Now the verdict。The claimant's claim was accepted.。

If you look into it a little、There are currently five requirements required for gender change.。① Be diagnosed with gender identity disorder by two or more doctors ② Be 18 years of age or older ③ Not currently married、Must not have any minor children; ④ Must have no gonads or reproductive functions; ⑤ Must have an appearance similar to the genitals of the changed gender.、five of。Of these, ④ and ⑤ are surgical requirements (⑤ is also called appearance requirement).、Doesn't necessarily have to be through surgery、Until now, in many cases, genital plastic surgery was performed at the same time as ④).。The above “gender reassignment surgery” is an operation to address ④ and ⑤.。
The hearing at the Hiroshima High Court on July 10th、In fact, on remand from the Supreme Court、In particular, requirement ④ itself was judged to be unconstitutional by the Grand Bench of the Supreme Court in October 2023.、This time, based on this judgment。Regarding ⑤, I did not make any particular judgment this time.、There will still be problems in the future, but、In the high court judgment、It seems that the decision was made that ``it would be fine as long as the people around me didn't feel uncomfortable.''。

people live for greed、That is one way of looking at it.。Gender change too、Broadly speaking, it can be said that desire is one of them.、I'm just trying to be more myself、rather the most fundamental、I think it's simple and pure.。Social issues such as the declining birthrate、This is an issue that needs to be reconsidered through the government and government.、It is not appropriate to impose part of the responsibility on them.。I want to be like Otani when I grow up.、The child's thoughts of、If everyone becomes a baseball player, who will do other jobs?、Just as you shouldn't ask stupid questions like。(I can't stand it being so long)

Voting day for the Tokyo gubernatorial election is also a “day when you stop thinking”

"I don't have to worry about forgetting unpleasant things" watercolor

Today is voting day for the Tokyo gubernatorial election.。Early voting seems to be higher than last time.。This also means that the voting rate on the day will be lower.、First, there must be quite a few people who cannot go out in this heat.。Why can't I vote electronically?、Japan's current problems are also visible there.。

last friday、I visited galleries from Ginza to Aoyama.。I bumped into him giving a speech in support of the Tokyo gubernatorial election in Ginza.、I just stood there and watched。Those involved、"Please don't get in the way of traffic," he said in a raised voice.、He deliberately chose a place where there were a lot of passersby to give his speech.、There's no way it won't get in the way。

Some political parties make fun of the electoral system itself.、Some individuals run as candidates almost as if by habit.、This time, the incumbent + ruling party VS opposition candidate、It is said that a popular newcomer will be involved.、It's a typical traditional setting.。There is a group of parasites secretly trying to eat there (now openly、However, the composition of the process remains the same.。I don't know if it won't change or if I don't want to change it.、I guess the true intention of voters is that they don't want to think about anything.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、Maybe it's because of the attitude of the media.。

Not giving up、It's not just a casual thing、I don't want to ignore it, but I don't want to take any action.、Also for voting。It looks like that。so、In the end nothing changes。Some people feel that this is ``safe and secure.''。Although、Because the world never stops for a moment、Unless there is a positive intention not to change.、one round late、It is natural that we will be two weeks behind.。It is the result of stopping thinking.。
of course、I don't think it's enough just to go with the flow.、If stopping thinking is like a kind of brain death, then、I can't do anything even if someone does something to my body.。Is that okay? Even if you ask、I guess you don't want to think about it。

"Dendrobium" watercolor

61st of the month、Located in Urawa City, Saitama Prefecture、I went to see the 72nd Saitama Prefecture Exhibition at the Prefectural Museum of Modern Art.。Because it was Saturday、Including the seller、An unexpectedly large number of people came to see it.。High school students returning from school (probably the sellers) and many elderly people were conspicuous.、20There are very few people in their 50s to 50s.。That probably reflects the current social situation.。

More than 1,000 items are submitted for review each year.。Once easily over 1500 points、The acceptance rate was only a little over 30%.。I tried various things (it's up to you whether it was a good idea or not)、The acceptance rate was slightly lower, but、Still, more than half are not selected.。Among them, who can become an award winner、only 16 people。Furthermore, in order to have no inspection (the right to be displayed if you exhibit it)、There is a rule that an award must be won three times.。In the current system where almost all judges are replaced,、Isn't that too harsh?、There seems to be a lot of talk about this.。

I met some people I knew at the venue.、I learned that some people had passed away.。Even if you look at the works of people who continue to exhibit、There are some works that have no trace of what they once were (I may be one of them).。But、I see it in many works.。If we look closely at the flow of individuals,、I'm sure it's created with a certain amount of value.。
Although the high school students' exhibitions are easy (it seems),、When I look at the selected works, I feel a sense of uneasy vulnerability.。Some people show amazing skills,、Most of them do their best just to fill the screen.。Because there is also studying、That's quite admirable。Is there any guidance from club teachers?、There are not many failures、If I were to say it was a pity, it would be a pity.。

Selected、If you just look at the award rate, it's certainly a tough number.、Young (or active) elites gathered there.、Is it overheating?、That's not it。Such people seek a different, harsher world.、making。In that sense、The prefectural exhibition is progressing at the same time as the present day.、I wonder if it's becoming a different world, heavily covered in the past.。While dragging my crippled legs、A work that is as tall as your body、When I see people listing items with the help of their children and grandchildren,、Even so, I know that there is an important world here.。
