Text and/or other creative content from this version of Sexual minorities in Japan was copied or moved into Transgender history. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

A mistake![edit]

Transgenderism is described already in Heian period texts. For example Taketori monogatari. Someone with better English skills than me should fix that part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.119.178.77 (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Future Tense of issues not been changed[edit]

Hey,I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, so I'm not sure about this, but something doesn't feel right or academic about the 9th paragraph of section 2, "Modern Japanese LGBT life," especially how it uses the future-tense. It was written in 2007 about the current issues then, and what Japanese politicians have to do in the future, but it's written more like a light news article, and more importantly, it does not address what has been done since. This suggestion of "what must be done" is also not exactly Wikipedia-ish. Combine this with the lack of a citation, and I think this might be something like independent research and a personal view of the "situation," or even something more drastic. Not sure how to tackle, please, could a more experienced Wikipedian help out? 65.49.139.21 (talk) 19:25, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - thanks for pointing this out. You're right, that's definitely something that needs a firm going-over, and I'll give it a rewrite and shape it up myself. (In future - please don't be afraid to be bold and have a go yourself!) Thanks! -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 10:48, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
