Censorship in Tokyo

Tokyo local government is trying to censor comicbooks and cartoons that contain sexual contents. Although they are fiction and have no "victims", freedom of expression is under threat in Tokyo and in the whole country, Japan.

If it were justified, you could say that samurai movies should be banned because they cantain murder.

If anyone interested in freedom of expression issues, please help us to fight against pro-censorship cult groups.

You can discuss the issue on the Internet. You can post your opinion on your blog, send an e-mail to groups for freedom of expression and other political organizations, and tweet in twetter.

Transgender Child in Japan

In Japan, an MTF transgender child is approved as a girl in her school but gender distinction itself is discrimination.

The idea of gender dichotomy still remains. For example, there are 2 kinds of school uniforms, for boys and for girls. In addition, only boys tend to be required to do heavy lifting to help teachers.

Even though she has become happy because of the school's decision, only gender blind policy makes people equal.

Change of Power in Japan
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Today, general election for the House Representatives took place and Democratic Party of Japan seized working majority.

Although Liberal Democratic Party has long been the 1st party and a governmental party for many decades, LDP lost the power and DPJ wrest it.

Today is a revolutionary day in terms of Japanese Politics. This is because there has been political corruption that arises from cozy relations among LDP politicians, bureaucrats and business executives.

Even though some censorship bills are have been passed or about to be passed, I hope Japan will be changed.
