Japan trans woman proud of her transition from baseball player to nightclub hostess
‘Beautiful’ nightclub worker derided as ‘gross’ by schoolmates when she first wore make-up; ‘before and after’ online posts viewed by millions
A transgender woman working at a Tokyo nightclub has revealed online that she used to be a secondary school baseball player, stunning many and winning widespread applause for her true-to-life attitude.
Miyon, 22, is not only a hostess but also an influencer with 8,600 followers on social media.
Most of her posts show her as an average, fashionable young woman around town in the Japanese capital.
However, in some posts since last year, she revealed her past as a secondary school baseball player in the Western city of Beppu, Oita Prefecture.
Two such “before and after” posts amassed 2.4 million views each.
Many people expressed admiration for her transformation and courage to be true to her inner voice.
“I admire that you can enjoy both the youthful life of a secondary school baseball player and a glorious life as a beautiful hostess,” one person said.
