Why the tiger has become a transgender symbol in Japan

Gay Breakfast Pin Club writes:

Recently we learned about how some trans folks in Japan like to use tigers as a symbol for the trans community. It's a pun: Tora [虎] is the Japanese word for tiger, and when you sound out "trans" in katakana it basically starts with "tora." To-ra-n-su [トランス].

Toransu is clearly a loan word from English ("trans") that has been adapted to Japanese pronunciation (adding vowels/vowel epenthesis helps you avoid unpronounceable consonant clusters).

We've come a long way and you should be allowed to appreciate yourself- even if it is a little embrassing at time lol

Tbh my favorite part of pride month is saying “AND DURING PRIDE MONTH TOO?” at every slight inconvenience.

accepting other queer people with identities that i don't personally understand is an awesome feeling, like i don't have to "get" why you identify the way you do, im just happy you are expressing yourself to me in ways that make sense to you. i don't give a fuck if i don't "get" your identity, i'm not meant to- it's your identity, not mine. maybe some identities are meant to leave you mystified. maybe some people have lessons to teach you. maybe that's part of the beauty of life.

honestly I think being a shapeshifter would solve 75% of my problems. just saying...if anyone is a genie or something on Tumblr I would love to shapeshift.

Like I don't think younger queers realize how God damn monumental it is that stores even have lgbtq merchandise up during pride month.

Yes, many companies don't genuinely give a shit about us. HOWEVER, the fact that I'm seeing transgender, gay, lesbian, etc. MERCHANDISE TO BEGIN WITH, absolutely helps normalize us in society.

10+ years ago, THIS DID NOT EXIST, PERIOD.

from the almost 32 year old butch dyke who has been getting called both of those things my whole life, i just wanted to say that if you feel you are or want to be a butch dyke, you are one. it doesn't matter. cis, trans, gender non conforming, whatever else, if you say you're butch, you're butch.

transfemme butch dykes are not obligated to perform womanhood in any way for you, if we are women. transfemme butch lesbians are butches no matter how masculine, no matter if we take HRT or not, no matter how we dress or if we identify as men in some way. transmasc butches are part of the butch & lesbian communities if they say they are. nothing about being transmasculine means you are not a butch dyke. transmasculinity does not disqualify you from lesbianism, sapphicism, or being a butch or dyke. transfeminine and transmasculine dykes have been a part of the lesbian community since the beginning.

genderqueer, non binary, agender, abinary, two-spirit, bigender, multigender, and "other" gender butches are butch dykes. nothing about being part of a "third" or "other" gender disqualifies anyone from being a butch dyke. the butch community has historically been full of people with unique and different experiences with gender. many butch dykes feel they experience multiple genders. many feel they experience no gender at all. many have fluctuating experiences with gender.

intersex butches are butch dykes. it does not matter if they are a cis identifying woman and their body looks masculine, it does not matter if they are a cis identifying man and their body looks feminine, it does not matter what combination of secondary sex characteristics they may have, it does not matter what genitals they have, and it does not matter if they are trans, genderfluid, isogender, intergender, or cis- all intersex butch dykes are butch dykes because we say we are.

there are a lot and i mean a LOT of people who fall under this umbrella. a lot of people are called butch and dyke who don't even identify that way. many queer people develop a strong connection with the labels because of how much they are referred to by these terms, even if they do not fall under the strict "woman loving woman" definition. the butch community has never been here solely for masculine cis women- it is for all women, men, and people who identify as butches, studs, bois, lesboys, guydykes, lesboys and other masculine lesbians, sapphics & dykes. if you feel you identify as a butch dyke, we welcome you with open arms. diversity is what makes our community strong.
