I’ll be giving an intensive course on queer studies at Kobe University from January 21 to 23. I’m really looking forward to it, and I’ll do my best to take care of my not-so-strong voice so it lasts through the sessions.

I also analyze patterns of online exclusionary discourse in my book”非二元的な性を生きる”.
Every time a public figure comes out, the posts and reactions become filled with exclusionary takes on nonbinary identities.🥲

Next week in my class, we’ll be looking at the history of activism by people living nonbinary identities in Japan. I want to take the time to talk carefully about why dismissive claims are so problematic, and how people have resisted them over time.

I’ll be speaking at this event on the theme “Tracing the histories of nonbinary lives and preserving them for the future.”
I’ll talk about the histories and archiving of people living nonbinary genders in Japan, drawing on my own experiences in nonbinary communities. Looking forward to it!

Kwansei Gakuin University Human Rights Education Research Office – Designated Research “SOGIE and Human Rights”
2nd Public Research Meeting: “Media Literacy to Resist Transphobia and Disinformation”

Date & Time: Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 15:10–16:50

Venue: Kwansei Gakuin University, Central Auditorium
Sign language interpretation available.
If you plan to attend in a wheelchair, please contact us in advance for seating assistance.
Contact: Human Rights Education Research Office

Overview:
In recent years, topics related to transgender people have frequently appeared on social media, video platforms, and in the news. However, many of these include misinformation, stereotypes, or even content intended to incite discrimination. How can we avoid being misled and access accurate information?
We will welcome two representatives from T-Net, a network sharing reliable information about transgender issues, to discuss media literacy as a tool to resist disinformation and transphobia.

Speakers:
	•	Aki Nomiya – Active since 1998 as a core member of transgender self-help and support groups. Served as an organizer of the Tokyo Lesbian & Gay Parade and as a board member of Tokyo Pride. Currently teaches part-time university courses on gender and sexuality.
	•	Kanata Kimoto – YouTuber and video creator. Runs the channel Kanataimu. A transgender man who shares stories on LGBTQ+ topics, life with his deaf parents, and everyday moments “to inspire someone, somehow.”

About T-Net:
T-Net is a volunteer network launched in August 2024 by transgender individuals and allies committed to sharing accurate and inclusive information about transgender issues.

Today I took my seminar students to Pride Center Osaka. It’s such an important space supporting LGBTQ+ communities, and they even welcomed our group of 20+ students. We heard a lot about how they create a safe and welcoming environment, offer support, and run the center. We all learned so much!

Together we'll think about what makes a safe space, how we can work on creating one, and think about concrete action that we can take to create such spaces for our community.

Schedule:
1pm - Meet and mingle
1.30pm - Talk event with Kelly

I went to see the movie “The Blue Boy Case” in Umeda today. It was tough to watch because it depicted many forms of discriminatory language and violence against trans people, but I’m glad I watched it.
Afterward, I joined an X-gender meetup and had a peaceful, enjoyable time.
