Dude, I don't know how to read Japanese. All OP had to do was post that and I would have just ignored the post entirely. And can you not throw the word bigot around so callously? Japanese sentiments towards sexuality and transgenderism are vastly different than that of Western Nations. I was doubting that they would do it in the first place for a game like Pokemon and a company like Nintendo.

Mate, you're fighting SUPER hard against a pretty much confirmed thing, and using the word Transgenderism which is almost EXCLUSIVLY used by Bigots.

so it aint a far stretch.
i also didn't post a picture of the text in Japanese but in plain English, which you hopefully can read

The way it was originally portrayed by op implied heavily that, at best, it was a vocational change, especially considering the nature of Japanese views on sexuality. With your intervention of the actual quote, I see no issue here. Transgenderism is a normal word that bigots and non bigots use, it's like the word gay or lesbian, it's just a word. It's not a slur and it's not attacking anyone, it's a descriptive term of a medical condition. Who's talking pictures? You posted a significantly more accurate translation of the text then op did. Also, you don't have to be a condescending asshole with: "which you hopefully can read".

And then i provided you with new information with you could easily verify by a simple look into the one of a million Wiki, or just GOOGLING the phrase.

Also no, its not a word, Bigots and Non Bigots use, its a Word Universally looked down upon in the LGBT Community, and if you really aren't a bigot like you're so hard trying to prove, maybe just stop using it instead of trying to use it so badly.

Also, you said you cannot read Japanese, to me responding to you in plain old English with what the person said in the original games so i figured there might be some sort of barrier :)

are you dense? I explained in plain english the confusion and here you are, going off like I pissed on the damn queen's grave.

also, here you go:

>transgenderism

noun:

The state of being transgender.

Its a descriptive term, not a hateful term like the N word or all the nasty things that can be said about people like me. I have never even heard of anyone having an issue with the term "Transgenderism" in my life and its super weird that you have such an issue with it.

Bro, please tell me how the fuck can you literally Copy the definition from Wikipedia, but not manage to read the NEXT FUCKING LINE

Usage notesThe term is common in science and social science literature, but is little used by the transgender community and considered offensive by some. GLAAD says the term is primarily used by anti-transgender activists, and recommends synonyms like "being transgender"

Just stop using the Term, there are MILLION different things you can use that aren't used by Transphobes, and with your inability ot read once again, im quite honestly done here

I didn't get it off wikipedia, that was from the front page of a search engine after looking up the term. My guy, you're trying to make a whole lot of something out of a whole lot of nothing.
