Crossdressing photography book hopes to improve transgender awareness in Japan

While on a nightly basis you can easily catch a crossdresser or transsexual person on TV, they often are presented as 2D characters offering little insight to who they really are or why they lead such a life. “Transgender” and “gay” are still synonymous to many people, but this is a situation that is steadily changing with greater awareness provided by works such as Yuri Danshi which was released on 31 July, and covers nine cross-dressing men in a wide range of styles and fashions from girl-next-door to gyaru.

Otoko no ko is a term used to refer to crossdressing men who have innate feminine characteristics and enjoy dressing in clothes typically reserved for females. These are the types of crossdressers which the creator of Yuri Danshi, Naoko Tachibana wants to focus on for this book. This new book, as well, was not exactly welcomed with open arms by many publishers in the country. #Slanegirl and the shaming of female sexual desire. So if you have been on twitter this morning you have probably spotted and maybe even clicked on the slanegirl tag.

#Slanegirl and the shaming of female sexual desire.

For those not on twitter 24/7 a girl at Slane Festival didn’t just enjoy Eminem but gave at least two men blow jobs, and was photographed doing it. As is the way with such things the photographs have gone viral. Now, as with all ethical bloggers I have to declare an interest here. I love giving blow jobs. I would struggle far more with never giving a blow job again than with never receiving oral sex myself. Which is why so many of the seemingly supportive tweets for slanegirl are, in many ways, as problematic as the outright misogynistic slutshaming ones.

What exactly should this girl be ashamed of? Now of course not every time a woman performs ( another active verb) a sex act on a man is it without coercion.

Stoya: Feminism and Me

Feminism, like everything in the world except for maybe the fact that water is good for people to drink, is a complex and nuanced thing. I love many parts of feminism and am grateful for many people who are or were feminists. I have the right to vote because of feminism. I feel entitled to walk home alone at night without being molested (whether I actually get to walk home without being catcalled or grabbed or not) because of feminism. My ability to choose to work in the on-camera side of the sex industry instead of other possible careers is mostly because of feminism, too. Having a job that involves talking to the press means inevitably everything from my politics to my chewing-gum habits are up for debate and discussion.

To me, the word feminist is heavy with sometimes-opposing connotations. POLY MON AMOUR, MES AMOURS POLY. Il y a quelque temps déjà (deux mois exactement) je vous parlais du couple ouvert sur barbi(e)turix.

POLY MON AMOUR, MES AMOURS POLY.

Le couple dit ouvert n’étant qu’une configuration parmi mille autres. Les relations, qu’elles soient amoureuses, passionnelles, affectives, sexuelles ou amicales peuvent prendre des milliers de formes différentes selon les personnes concernées, les personnalités, les sociétés dans lesquelles on évolue et les histoires de chacun et de chacune. Même parmi les couples monogames, les règles ne sont pas les mêmes et tout le monde construit ses relations comme cela lui convient le mieux.

Il en va de même évidemment pour les personnes polyamoureuses qui ne s’épanouissant pas dans des relations monogames, ont envisagé les relations libres. Plus simplement encore, la monogamie, tout comme la polygamie sont des constructions culturelles qui s’inscrivent dans une société donnée et dans l’histoire.

This is an experiment in sharing a personal experience through a game system.

It helps communicate daily occurances that happen in my life, exploring the difficulty in expressing these feelings in words. As well, it stands as a commentary of how we currently use game design for broad strokes of universal experiences instead of the hyper-personal, and often exclude minority voices. Mainichi was made in RPG Maker VX, an under-served program in terms of accessibility. My goal was to make a game on my own that didn’t require programming and used community resources. I want to make games that feasibly anyone can do on their own.
