What's up amazing people, this is IYASASA RADIO by Akane and Minami.
In this radio we are going to talk about random topics in Okinawan Japanese and English.
Every June, thousands of friends in all categories start the so-called Pride Activation Campaign.
The organizations target the LGBTQ plus community.
The idea is to show them how progressive they are and how great a logo looks like with a multicolor shade
without actually taking any actions to benefit or move forward LGBTQ plus rights.
This is a classic example of pink washing, a coined term to describe this type of mischievous behavior
from corporations, countries, or governments trying to project a positive image and friendliness towards the LGBTQ plus community.
These actions are made for the organizations to be perceived as inclusive and respectful diversity and gender orientation
when in fact the organization has policies in place that show almost the contrary.
Sometimes these marketing actions even try to diminish past negative actions or divert attention from them.
A PR effort to clean corporate image is malpractice rooted in transversal sectors
and affects the credibility of the organizations or the brands involved.
You have probably heard similar terms such as green washing regarding environmental issues
with zero real implication in sustainability or purple washing,
regarding visibility of the feminist movement without actions to change or break the glass ceiling, for example.
Pink washing, also known as rainbow washing, is the problematic path for any brand for two main reasons.
First, performing pride gimmicks for the once one month a year does not make a company an ally there for sooner or later
as their intentions are not based on shared values.
Second, using a minority group to profit without really getting involved in their reality, concerns, needs, and actual lifestyle is unfair as it is,
only seen as a mere consumption market.
That capitalist agenda linked to the pride marches is the complete opposite of what the Stonewall riots in 1969 meant,
03:03
which was leading to the modern U.S. gay rights movement.
Pride is not supposed to be a party or market celebration that companies can profit from.
It certainly is a commitment to inclusion, authentic values, and being part of the global civil rights conversation.
In June, companies launched a campaign to promote diversity of genders,
such as making their own logo rainbow.
This is in commemoration of the Stonewall riots in New York,
and in June every year there are events and campaigns about diversity of genders all over the world as Pride Month.
On the other hand, there is criticism that companies are only using gender minorities for self-promotion.
In that case, the term pinkwashing is often used.
Isn't it a happy thing for companies to promote diversity of genders?
I'm sure not many people think so.
However, as Pride Month continues,
how should we perceive the increasing number of points that point out that there is a question about the content?
So, what is pinkwashing?
Originally, this word was criticized for having the negative effect of the Israeli government's LGBTQ-friendly appeal
to overturn the image of Palestine's occupation,
and it is said that it was spread by Salah Shulman.
Pinkwashing is a combination of the words whitewashing, which means to cheat in English,
and pink, which is the symbol color of homosexuals.
It implies that pinkwashing is wearing the symbol color of homosexuals,
which gives a good impression in order to hide its inconvenient appearance.
In Japan, it became a hot topic in 2015 when a partnership was introduced in Shibuya,
but when Miyashita Park was redeveloped,
it was criticized that pinkwashing was the point where homeless people were exiled.
In this way, pinkwashing seems to be criticized when the LGBTQ-friendly appeal
overshadows discrimination against other minorities.
On the other hand, this word is sometimes used in cases like the following.
In the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics held in the summer of 2021,
diversity and harmony were held as one of the ideals.
In the opening ceremony of the Gorin, singer Misha wore a rainbow dress,
and in the closing ceremony, Rina Sawayama, who sings about the diversity of gender and family,
used the phrase, chosen family.
On the other hand, in the National Assembly,
the bill was submitted and sent,
06:00
and discrimination speech by members of the House of Representatives was also lost.
In April of this year, for the Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2022,
Family Mart announced that it would sell Line Socks Rainbow
and donate some of the sales to LGBTQ support groups.
However, it did not mention the intention of LGBTQ support groups,
such as why the package is rainbow color,
and criticized the fact that it did not mention the intention of LGBTQ support groups.
After that, it was revealed that it would donate to the NPO, Rivet.
In this way, it is criticized as pinkwashing
when it is pointed out that it does not have concrete action while appealing for LGBTQ friendly.
In the United States, companies that sing LGBTQ friendly
are criticized as rainbowwashing
when they take contradictory actions such as donating to anti-LGBTQ members.
However, when we think about the reason why the word pinkwashing was created,
I think that whether this word can be used in Japanese literature,
especially in the NPO,
I think that whether it can be used in the NPO,
I think that whether it can be used in the NPO,
I think that we need to be careful.
It is important that the problem becomes clear by the creation of words.
However, in particular, there is a possibility that it will be difficult to understand
what is the problem by using the concept of pinkwashing
to criticize the fact that it is not so,
or that there is not enough action,
like the NPO.
Regardless of how to use pinkwashing, it is important to point out the problem specifically.
The way you're using the mic is a bit of a different position
than you're used to all the time, I guess.
I don't know, but like...
Because I just got back from...
But you're laughing, right?
Island, right?
Me too.
We're kind of island high.
Yeah.
You noticed?
Because I was swimming in the ocean yesterday.
That's why I'm energetic.
The day before yesterday too, like two days straight.
Yeah.
How was it?
I mean, I was there too, but...
I felt the sun,
and then I was with great people,
and in the beautiful scenery,
that was like happiness moment.
That's why I'm energetic.
09:00
It's very healthy
for your body and mental health.
Yeah.
The ocean of Zamami Islands,
Kerama Islands,
is another level.
It's different, right?
If you've never been there,
I recommend you check out
Zamami, Akajima, Tokashiki, etc.
Yes.
Anyways,
so we picked up about the article
about pinkwashing,
because this June was a pride month,
seems like.
Yeah.
So,
from a different point of view,
how should we interpret this festival?
So I found the pinkwashing thing.
Pinkwashing?
I've never heard this word before.
Nantoka washing.
But in Japanese source,
there are not so many.
That's right.
This pinkwashing thing doesn't catch on at all.
In the U.S.,
it's easy to talk about this kind of thing,
but in Japanese companies,
supporting LGBTQ+,
blah blah,
it's still like,
oh, that's amazing.
It's not like that.
It's not that critical.
It's not like,
where's the money going?
What are they doing?
It's not a problem.
Maybe it's because of the media.
Maybe.
I just don't know.
I found another article that said,
pinkwashing is an image strategy
to justify the fact that the Israeli government
is violating the human rights of Palestinians
and is strict with homosexuals.
Compared to the Islamic culture,
Israel is an image strategy
to justify the fact that
the Israeli government
is violating the human rights of Palestinians.
Yeah.
Even if I say pinkwashing,
even in Japan,
when the partnership was introduced in Shibuya,
the people who lived on the ground
were expelled from that place.
The discrimination against them
is also contradictory.
In addition,
at the Olympics,
the artists performing with the rainbow colors,
singing about the Chosen Family,
but at the same time,
Congress denied LGBTQ-related law,
which is really contradicted
when it comes to a national event.
Pinkwashing is wrong,
isn't it?
How should I put it?
It's an event organized by the government.
It might be for the sake of public opinion.
Miesha used that
12:00
to appeal to the public,
but behind the scenes,
it was prohibited by the law.
It's dirty.
No?
But you know,
if people purely like rainbow color,
or they like to have this
what?
They want diversity.
Purely.
If people criticize pinkwashing like this,
it's a little difficult.
How to do it in the future.
You know what I mean?
In what issue?
In the Olympics?
In the Olympics,
people will say that
pinkwashing is something
no matter what you do.
I think it depends on
specific topic.
You know, even
we're talking about pinkwashing,
we have so many different
narratives or stories.
When it comes to this Olympic issue,
I think it sounds
naturally to me,
it is pinkwashing.
I don't know about Miyashita Park.
But when it comes to
doing it somewhere,
you know,
in the society,
people who work and pay taxes
are not equal.
They don't have equal rights
to sex.
People who don't do it
are alive.
If you try to make it all equal,
well,
it's just chaos.
So it's not
a problem.
I mean,
depending on the situation,
it's totally different.
True.
So it's not about
the surface,
it's about the essence.
But
when it comes to
a regular company doing,
you know, supporting LGBTQ
blah blah,
they will usually
make the rule for their
employees
that they are free to choose
their partners.
They are guaranteed
with a same-sex partner
if they have.
Or
making the rainbow
product,
like the big coffee shop
or the cosmetic brand.
Or
like that.
So
what I always think
when I see something like this is
first of all,
if the recognition of the society
is achieved,
I think
it's a plus.
15:00
But
it's difficult.
There was another article about this.
Doing like LGBTQ
supporting action is like
so fashionable
in this era.
It's fashionable.
Because there are
so many fashionable people.
The real ones.
They are on the front line.
There are
so many people
who are
close to show business.
True.
Is there a gay parade
in Japan?
Yes.
It's held in Tokyo.
I haven't heard of it.
Have you ever
been there?
Yeah, in New York.
How was it?
It was very fun
and interesting.
Like
it was
the freedom nipple was trending
at the time.
A lot of ladies
showing their nipples
took off their bras
and showing off
their nipples on the street.
Everybody wore
rainbow colored shirts
and gay people
were kissing
and touching
around on the street.
It was
very interesting for me.
It looks
very peaceful.
Everyone
looked so happy.
Yeah.
There was
a guy wearing
a rainbow colored dress
like Santa Claus
with a bird on his head
and he was dancing and walking.
It was
very interesting.
That scene
itself
had a lot of energy.
It was amazing
and
I didn't know much about it at first.
I didn't know
about Pride Month
and gay pride things.
I just went there
joining a festival.
But
it was good.
It was good.
That was the trigger
and you
got to know
what it is.
I was in San Francisco
and I was in Toronto.
Those were the two biggest
LGBT
events.
Was it LGBT?
Plus?
No.
What is plus?
At first
LGBT
18:01
was
L is lesbian
G is gay
B is bisexual
and D is transgender.
Gays and
Bisexuals
and transgenders
and bisexuals
were
originally
in the
mainstream
category of
sexual minorities.
But
gender fluid
that didn't fit
in Japanese
Queer
Queer is English.
So
there is a minority
that doesn't fit in
the LGBTQ category.
There is a person with
a different gender identity.
When they were asked
what to do,
queer came up.
Other than that,
I think it is a plus
that you have to include
in the future.
I'm searching on the internet
and it says
questioning
as a queer.
Excuse me.
It is thought that
people who are not
defined by their
gender identity
or sexual orientation
are also considered
to be queer.
That kind of sexuality
can also be called
questioning.
Queer doesn't fit.
Sorry.
Questioning.
In short,
everyone should accept it.
From now on,
LGBTQ plus
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
will be included.
That's why
it is difficult to change words.
Yes.
It may be unexpected
for people who are not interested.
Yes.
But Akane,
when you see companies like that,
do you think of anything?
I don't think of anything.
Do you think it is a good company?
No.
Do you think so?
I think so.
I think so.
Are you really not interested in Neutra?
If it is written like that,
I think it is a company
with humanity
in many ways.
I think so.
I have never seen
something washing
in a critical way.
But companies
are doing it now.
21:00
I think it has nothing to do
with washing
in a critical way.
Does it have anything to do with it?
I think it is like
commercializing it
and washing it
as soon as you sell it.
For example,
you don't know
where the sales funds
are going.
The example of the Olympics
is a good example.
You support the opposition,
but you ban everything
and that doesn't make sense.
But I want to use it.
It is easy to understand.
As a PR for a company.
Yes.
Moreover, it is a color
with versatility called rainbow,
so I think it is easy to make a product.
That's right.
I think so.
But I don't think
personally
I don't like the Olympics,
but I don't think
it is good for
various companies to do it.
I think so too.
But if the sales funds
were flowing to
the opposition,
it would be a problem.
In Japanese society,
they don't give a fuck.
I think they are in the phase
which they are
trying to
appeal.
But they are still showing off.
They are still
in the PR phase.
I think it is because
Japan is not so well-known
compared to other countries.
That's why they are not
called pinkwashing.
I think
in a different aspect,
the perception
of people having
towards sexual minorities
is not really
hard
for the opposition.
Because we are not
we don't have a strong
religious.
The more Christian
we are, the more
the opposition is hot.
It is true that
we don't follow the laws
but in the Japanese community
if you are a lesbian,
you go to hell.
There is no extreme.
But there are people
in their parents' generation.
They don't send them
to a facility
or cure them
because they are sick.
They don't go that extreme.
They are just scared
that their children
will be banished from society.
I think it is that kind of fear.
24:01
They don't care
about their relatives.
Yes.
In the US,
a lot of transgender people
are killed.
I feel sorry for them.
Accidents-wise,
it is a different level.
That's why
I think that's why people like to talk about it.
In this kind of topic,
the other side is the vanguard.
I don't know.
It has nothing to do with washing.
I watched some
transgender documentary
on Netflix.
Do you know the name of the show?
I don't know.
I forgot.
Orange is the New Black
was on the show.
There were other people on the show.
In the last 20 or 30 years,
the roles of transgender people
in movies and dramas
are really terrible.
They are made fun of
and they are portrayed as
really disgusting.
In the US,
most of the people
have never met
a transgender person
as a friend,
so they take
the image of Hollywood movies
and think about
what transgender people are like.
It's like that.
It was really hard
for the people at the time
to see that.
It's not like that,
but they don't have
a happy ending for themselves.
For example,
if they are in the middle of transition,
their body is not completely
transformed
to a different
sex.
When that happens,
it's really scary
and they might get killed
or raped.
There are a lot of people
who are made fun of
by the media.
There were a lot of things
that I didn't know.
I thought it was good.
In the interviews
where transgender people
came as guests,
it was like that.
But now,
the way people ask questions
has changed.
Everyone's perception
has changed.
It was good.
27:08
I'll check it out.
Something washing.
Greenwashing.
Greenwashing.
SDG's washing.
It's been a trend
recently.
It's very short.
Everyone is doing
eco-friendly business.
It's a trend.
It's a trend.
Consumers don't know
what's eco-friendly,
they just buy because
it's greenwashing.
I think it's exactly the same
as eco-friendly.
It's a good thing to do something
even though you're not sure.
It's the best way
to show your
supportive
emotional,
I guess.
But
it's the same with eco-friendly.
The environment
is a problem.
What's the real problem?
The temperature.
There are a lot of sources
that say you can't say
what's going on.
Then the approach
changes.
I don't think
everyone is doing it
on their own.
If you decide to believe
it's a fact.
I think
pink and green
are both
social good
When social good
and business activity
are intertwined,
there is something
you want to criticize.
It sounds good.
Everyone is equal.
Love is love.
Yay!
Let's protect Mother Earth.
Let's protect the Earth.
Yay!
30:01
This
pessimistic
pacifism
and
making money.
That's why
it's criticized.
I just realized.
How about Okinawa
washing.
Team Don Don
washing.
On the other hand,
we become famous
because of that.
That's a positive thing.
Is there anything bad?
I don't know if it has
anything to do with washing.
In Okinawa,
the land and resources
are
overwhelmingly
rich
nationwide.
The business
potential is high.
That's why
we use it.
If it doesn't
benefit the local people,
it's not washing.
It's exploitation.
It's like
no place to live.
It's the same in Miyako.
Team Don Don
is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Considering the history
of Okinawa,
we consider
what we do
but
we don't know
what we actually do.
If there is a contradiction,
it will be a problem.
Also,
pink washing
is considered as LGBTQ+.
Green washing
is considered as eco-friendly.
If we start doing it suddenly,
it's like
have you done
anything before that?
Or
are you really gonna do that?
It's very
suspicious.
Unreal
they're just saying that
to make it
make
sounds right
or better
it's like that
but
I don't feel good.
About pink washing,
there was an article about it
but sometimes we don't know
what the problem is.
What is the problem?
Why are we doing it?
If we think about it,
they are
discriminated.
Social discrimination.
33:00
For example,
you can't rent a house,
you can't get a call from your partner
when they are about to die.
I think
we should think about
those rights.
I think that's our goal.
I think we can do it
to people who are on the bottom.
Do you have any friends
in this community?
I think it's too early
to do that.
Because
if we don't
think about the real person,
it's like
imaginary
people.
For example,
Minami criticizes old men
saying that they don't know anything.
But when you talk to them,
sometimes you feel better.
You meet real people.
And you listen to them.
LGBT people
can say that.
The problem is
a lot of people
are not
in the closet.
They don't come out.
As a gay or lesbian or whatever.
So
people around you
don't get involved
that easily.
It's weird
that you want to get along
with everyone.
Maybe it's a contradiction.
I think it's good to get involved
with a lot of people.
Anyone.
A lot of people.
Personality.
The way they live.
Listen to their stories.
In movies and documentaries,
they talk about
how to avoid
pinkwashing.
Is it like that?
How?
In the world?
There is an article
called
How to avoid pinkwashing.
It's a business way.
Do not
believe in hype.
Believe in purpose.
Find your values.
How can you match the ideal scenario
with the current reality towards social commitments
inside a brand?
Everybody talking about purpose
doesn't mean you have to copy the same strategies.
Find your authentic root
and trace a strategy
where honesty is present
as well as acknowledge that it is
a long run effort.
Avoid corporate pride
and empty gestures.
No one is buying it.
Authentic way.
Pursue the current reality.
36:04
Think at the core level.
Core?
Not like
I will do this,
I will sell this.
Think deeper.
The people at the company
won't trust you.
I haven't gone that far in Japan
but it might happen in the future.
Everybody starts pinkwashing.
Greenwashing.
When will it become true?
Let's see.
It's difficult.
Pink
is
well
there are a lot of people
people, things, colors
so as a business
it's easy to use.
True.
You have a bad personality
basically.
You make your profile picture
rainbow
blue and yellow
I don't get it.
I think it's great.
You express
your personality
yourself
both you and Arai.
I think
it's better
to do that.
Is that
individual or company?
Individual and company.
Isn't it better for individual people to do it?
Don't you want more friends?
I see.
OK.
The company does
I see.
I don't get it.
I get it.
By making the word
washing
you are trying to stop
the gay activity.
Who?
Pink and green.
What happens if you stop?
Extinction.
Conspiracy theory?
Anyone has a purpose
concept.
I see.
If you stop,
what happens?
You stop the gay activity.
You want to
eliminate the diversity?
Wouldn't it be hard
if it's gone?
I don't know.
I've never lived in a world
where diversity exists.
But it's hard.
You know,
39:01
you talked about
diversity
not completely,
but there are people
who are in trouble because of it.
Yes.
Artist friends,
fashion friends,
LGBTQ
people
are too unique.
Straight people
like me
are also
discovered.
I didn't know that.
It depends on
how you look.
I think
it depends on
who you buy it from.
Those people
are the minority
of that time.
The word minority
is shining everywhere.
It's the same for hip-hop.
You can feel the charm
and the business chance
from those people.
That's why clients
buy it.
For example,
Hanabanashi,
gay people.
If it's more fun
for you,
I don't think you can
do it.
Especially if it's a woman.
It's said that
the art level
and skills
are exactly
the same.
But
gay people
stand out more.
So,
the recognition
and the evaluation
are
unfair.
That's what
they say.
If it's art,
I do care
who
made this
when it comes to an art piece.
So,
I don't think
it's about discrimination.
It's important who made it.
It's about the identity
I don't want to say
that straight people
live without discrimination.
It's easy to sell.
If you think of yourself
as a product,
it's the same.
For example,
if a company
does the same office work
at the same speed,
it's unfair
when it comes to
buying gay people.
I think
it's because
it's an art.
They want to know
42:00
who made it.
So,
you think negatively.
I don't think so.
It can't be helped.
Drag queens
can't win against
Minami.
She can't win
at all.
She is tall and
good at make-up.
She can't win.
They are like that.
If you give them
a chance to fly
with diversity,
it won't be unnoticeable.
But I think
it's unfair.
So,
I think
basic rights
like human rights
should be achieved.
But
it's not
about looks,
or lifestyle.
It's about human rights.
That's right.
But
recently,
in foreign countries,
transgender people
are increasing.
For example,
a woman
who used to be a man
will participate
in a women's sport
and win.
And a woman
will be 2nd or 3rd.
Where can we
have gender equality?
We can't keep up with
the biological
level.
It's different.
I think it's true.
In the current
law,
in the Olympics,
transgender people
can participate
in the sports
after the Olympics.
I don't know about the Olympics,
but I think it depends on
the sport association
of each country.
The Olympics?
I don't know.
So,
if we accept it,
it's the same as
what I said before.
A woman will definitely win.
If it's like that,
it will be like,
for example,
where can
transgender people
participate?
It's a new discrimination.
It can be said from any point of view.
If such a problem
comes up,
some people will
say, let's get rid of
the men and women's sport.
At that moment,
there should be
gender equality.
45:01
Everything should be
neutral.
If extreme diversity
comes up,
it will be a real chaos.
If it's like that,
will there be no children?
I don't think so.
Don't say that.
It's the same as
what the Japanese politician said.
If the number of homosexuals increases,
the number of children will decrease.
Won't it decrease?
What do you think?
I don't know.
It won't decrease.
I don't know,
but I think it depends
on the number of couples.
It's obvious.
I think it's important
to solve
the problem of
Japan's kindergarten.
Even people like Akane
who have a lot of understanding
think that
the number of children
will decrease
by practicing homosexuality.
No matter how much
you wash,
it won't decrease.
That's right.
In short,
Akane doesn't seem to be interested
because it's not about her.
But in the end,
when it comes to the legislature,
you have to vote.
In the end,
the LGBTQ plus promotion law
is a good thing
for the world
to promote it.
We have to make people
think like that.
Then let's do pink washing.
That's right.
We can do it.
Yes.
Let's do it first.
Yes.
It's better to think about it
after the game is over.
That's right.
It's not about
the company's product.
It's about
being able to
think for yourself.
I think that's important.
It's the same as green washing
and Okinawa washing.
Let's do it for now.
Let's do it for now.
And then,
we're going to think about
how to deal with it.
Yes.
Do enough people
know about it?
Yes.
About green washing,
I'm curious if there is
really a greenhouse effect.
Why is that?
Why do you think that?
Because there are a lot of people
who say there is no greenhouse effect among scientists.
Then what are they doing?
Yes.

It's just imaginary talking.
It's only about
preventing global warming.
Yes.
I don't know about that.
But,
as I said before,
picking up the garbage
and recycling
is not a bad thing.
Yes.
It's still a good thing.
Is it true that garbage
is used for green washing?
I don't know.
It doesn't seem to make any money,
but it doesn't feel like washing at all.
But,
in that sense,
picking up garbage
or using garbage
to make something
is a business.
It happens a lot.
For example,
making glass
from the window of a car.
That's true.
But, is it better to
wash it first and spread it?
Yes.
It's better to think about
whether it's washing or not.
That's right.
I don't think it's known yet.
Green washing?
I think.
Any washing?
Yes.
I learned the concept of washing today.
It was a hot topic.
It's a concept
that people
who have a different perspective think about.
But,
because people have a different perspective,
it's important to
look at things
from a different
angle.
So,
regarding this topic,
whether it's an
LGBTQ person,
whether it's
a person who sells
a lot of products
in his or her company,
I think
it's important
to think about it.
For what purpose
is this
recommended?
That's right.
Then,
don't be afraid to talk about it.
Especially,
LGBT people,
don't judge other people
trying to ask you a question.
Because they have no idea.
Especially
LGBT people.
If they are too
aware of what's going on,
it can be aggressive.
Like,
you can't buy anything.
It's hard to hear
51:01
what you want to hear.
Like, you can't be a sexual harasser,
or a power harasser.
It's unnecessary
to ask
a normal person
if they are a
sexual minority.
Of course,
there are many ways
to ask.
There are tips.
Like, do you have a boyfriend?
There are many ways to ask.
Like, do you have a boyfriend?
Your awareness
can be expressed
through questions.
Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?
There might be
many ways to ask.
So,
you can ask someone you like.
So,
you can't
say it out loud,
but it's a trend
to hate being
objective.
It's better to
make everything vague.
I want to think
that gender diversity
is universal.
But,
I think it depends on the era.
I 100% support
them.
But,
from a political point of view,
or as a country,
or as a people,
when it comes to that,
there are some questions.
Like what?
Like what?
Like what?
So,
you have to accept everything.
Like, I'm X, you're Y,
I'm A, you're B,
I accept everything.
If you do that,
there will be chaos.
What about the toilets?
What about the Olympics?
What about the sports?
What about the kids?
You have to
make sure
everything is well-organized.
You have to
make sure everything is well-organized.
If you don't do that,
there will be
a world where
people who used to be normal
will be discriminated against.
Maybe.
I don't know.
It's all about equality.
If you accept everything,
there will be
conservative people
who will be
discriminated against.
If you don't accept everything,
you will be discriminated against.
You will be discriminated against.
Balance is important.
I don't think
the world has ever been balanced.
I don't think the world has ever been balanced.
That's what I wanted to say.
That's what I wanted to say.
We all have to
54:01
think for ourselves
and talk to each other.
and talk to each other.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's difficult.
Regardless of gender,
diversity is tricky.
The more I look into it,
the more I realize it.
I think it's scary
to have a good voice.
I think it's scary
to have a good voice.
I think it's scary
to have a good voice.
I think it's scary
to have a good voice.
I think it's scary
to have a good voice.
Do you think so?
I think the smarter people
are thinking about this.
But there are economists
and psychologists,
right?
I mean,
people can think about
how the population will move.
I'm glad I got to know the word, brainwashing.
I really don't talk about Pride Month or LGBTQ.
I don't think about it that much.
But, knowing that there are issues like this,
I think that if we live our lives,
each action and way of thinking will change.
People of today's generation are not that old.
But people of my parents' generation are not that old yet.
But they are still alive.
If we get to know those people, I don't think it will be a waste.
I think communication will be a good thing.
Yes, I'll do my best.
