My one condition for going to Japan

Post Reply New Topic

My parents, other relatives, the Japanese program at my local university, lots of people have said I should go to Japan to work. Well, what they don't recognize is this: I have one condition for going to Japan.

That condition is attainment of sex reassignment surgery (SRS), so that in Japan I can be unambiguously legally female (as Japan recognizes change of sex after SRS). If I don't attain that, then I will not go to Japan to work.

I wonder if I should communicate this condition the next time, say, my parents bring this issue up.

I say, "Go for it" and tell them.

Got it.

This has been my secret condition for several years. "Go to Japan." "Well, are you going to help me get what I need done? I've waited since the age of 8 for this!" is a conversation that has played in my head over and over again!

I told the teacher, but said the condition was a secret, as I did not feel the subject appropriate to bring up with her.

My teacher responded with "その条件を満たしてください。" Translation: "Please fulfill that condition."

Oh, I wish it were so easy.
