Transgender and Sorry Day

-Transgender
Crystal made a great move and changed the world for transgendered people in a positive way. I think that transgendered people should be treated exactly like us, and I don't see why some places try to isolate them. They've done no harm to anybody, and they are just livinf their life as they want just like us. I haven't heard about places restricting transgendered people in Japan, but I've heard of a hot spring resort which restricted foreigners. I'm sure this kind of thing doesn't exist anymore, but I was shocked to hear that especially because this happened not so long ago.

-Sorry Day
If Japan was to have a sorry day, I think the country should apologize for the 'comfort women'. comfort women is a place where women were forced into prostitution as a form of sexual slavery by the Japanese military during the WW2. Majority of these women were Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Philipino. Japan should apologize to those women who were forced to work, and their relatives for forcing them to do such jobs at that time because the scars left on their heart and sould is most likely impossible to cure.
