Plenty of words are used to define transgender women. Some are even deemed offensive in other countries yet are perfectly normal for the countries these words originated from. Although the word taken literally can also define transgender men, it is mostly used for trans women. Before the popularization of Abrahamic religions, they already existed. In the Edo period of Japan, accounts of male to female individuals have extensive records in the history books. What we do have in the records is one of the onnagata actors Yoshizawa Ayame, who dressed up and behaved as a woman even outside the theater. If you want to stay on the safe side, please avoid using the word newhalf. There are many other words that were not as offensive back then as they are today but why take a risk when you can simply use something as safe as a transgender woman. Now that the word is not what it used to be anymore , you may be wondering what Japanese people are using nowadays to address transgender women. Nope, you have not guessed it right. In Thailand, ladyboy and kathoey are still widely used. In the Philippines, a lot of people still call transgender women bakla which is an umbrella term used to define transgender women and gay men. The evolution of these words still have not caught up to the majority of the population in the east.

LGBT in Japan. In summer, Isetan and Marui were my go-to spots for extra-tall yukata and bathing suits. Once I even bought an allegedly silver ring from the dodgy-looking and probably illegal stall that would sometimes appear in the square outside the east exit of Shinjuku Station. I was never refused entry to an establishment for being transgender, and never had any bad experiences. On the contrary, restaurant proprietors were overly nice to me and the men at the stalls selling isobe yaki , mochi wrapped in seaweed, would compliment me on my looks and give me discounts. For business operators in Shinjuku, a diverse clientele was a given. This acceptance of diversity was not limited to sexual minorities. During the time that I frequented the neighborhood, Iranians, Turks and other Middle Eastern men were a common sight, and I was often the subject of their advances: they told me that I would be considered beautiful in the Middle East.
