People have several turning points in their life. Have you passed that already? Now that I think about it, I have a big turning point in my life… The word LGBTQ has become established worldwide now. I wonder how many people understand the word and the people. First of all, what does LGBTQ stand for? Lesbian A lesbian is a female homosexual: a female who experiences romantic love or sexual attraction to other females. Gay Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. Gay is often used to describe homosexual males but lesbians may also be referred to as gay. Bisexual Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behaviour toward both males and females, or romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity; this latter aspect is sometimes termed pansexuality. Transgender Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. It is sometimes abbreviated to trans. Queer Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities that are not heterosexual or cisgender. Queer was originally used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires but, beginning in the late-1980s, queer scholars and activists began to reclaim the word. Questioning The questioning of one’s gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, or all three is a process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, and concerned about applying a social label to themselves for various reasons.

The reason I am introducing this word is because I am part of the LGBTQ community. I am Transgender. I didn't like my body and voice becoming a girl since I was a child. My body sex is a girl, but my mind sex is a boy, so I am romantically interested in girls. Sometime people think that that is the same as lesbian, because I become like girl as girl's body, but it's totally different. When I was in junior high school, I belonged to the girl 's basketball team. We tell all of things to each other, trusting, going out together, sleepover at weekend, they were unmistakably my best friends. At that time, I fell in love with a girl on the same team. I had no odd feelings that I liked that girl; I didn't even try to hide it. As time goes by, everyone in the team knew that fact. And they began to ignore me and began to do malicious bullying. I didn't know why I was being bullied. Because I fell in love with girl? I wondered at that time, why can’t I fall in love with a girl? Just my body sex is girl, but my mind sex is boy. Is that only reason they bullying me? If so, what is the reason for bullying? If I fell in love with a girl in the form of a girl, did they think that I will become a monster at night or I suddenly lose myself and begin to hurt them? What makes you feel hatred for those people who do not match the mind sex and body sex? Can friendship relations be broken so easily? I couldn’t stop thinking those doubts. From this time I began to think about what is "Real friends". Now that I think about it , that event was definitely a turning point in my life. Every turning point may not be pleasing for your life, but you can definitely change it to a wonderful one. There is no need only one turning point. If you reach the worst turning point, next time you can strive to reach the best turning point. Now, I don't think I have many friends. I never thought of it as embarrassing. Because I can call them my best friend(or real friend) with confidence. My home mother often says this, "There is no need to be can normal person. It's too boring. I like weird. I like the person who are different from other people rather than normal people". Perhaps she may have said this unconsciously, but I have been saved many times in these words. I don't know the definition of real friend. I don’t even want to look for it. No matter how serious, painful or pitiful it is, I call the person real friend who tries to understand and stay with me.
My lesson for you: ・It is better to have fewer real friends than many fake friends. ・People who "just" hang out with you might not be real friends. ・People who fully understand you are rare and precious. Kai I
