Around 2020, as a Japanese person, I couldn't understand why there was such a big movement in the West regarding transgender issues. Then, after befriending a transgender boy through an online game, he cried and said, "I hate Christianity! I've lived my life being beaten and bullied, in a hidden place inside the church!" He confided in me, and I reassured the boy who couldn't stop crying. Finally, I realized that there is a deep-seated issue with transgender issues that goes against Christian doctrine. I have just one request for transgender people who like Japan. I want you to study Japanese. I like studying English, but many Japanese people struggle with English classes in junior high and high school and are bullied by their English teachers.
Being transgender is, in fact, not against Christian doctrine as far as I know. There is little actual justification for it in the text aside from a single line that says "men should not wear women's clothes and women should not wear men's clothes", a definition that doesn't even make sense considering how often fashion and style changes. Pink a generation ago in the west was considered a masculine color because it was "hot" while blue was a feminine color for being "cool". That same passage also has lines regarding not wearing clothes with mixed fabrics and many other archaic laws. At the same time, conservative Christian doctrine has a very strict view on what gender roles ought to be and have twisted the original scripture to say what it does not. Many other parts of the bible show Jesus showing compassion to sexual minorities. Other parts of the Bible Jesus lectured a man about being the first to cast judgement when he himself did not want to be judged. It is rather, hateful people using their religion to justify their hatred. This view of strict gender roles has permeated American society in ways many nonreligious people don't even think about at times. For example my Chinese American parents talked about "traditional gender roles" not realizing how western and new the "traditional" gender roles they spoke about were.
As a closeted trans girl myself (I absolutely do not care about telling people online) this song means an indescribable amount to me. It genuinely speaks volumes. I just love and relate to everything here. Glad to find such a good English cover of it! Absolutely love this song. Call me Lucy or Lumi btw, those are the preferred names that I've narrowed it down to so far! (Lumi is short for Lumilia) Edit: Changed to remove my deadname, as it was in there previously (for some reason).
as someone who is trans, i love that i finally found a english version of this song! this is so good! and it feels even more like its about gender identity than the original did.
as a transgirl this is my favorite song of all time. Before I even realized I'm trans I still, for some reason I love this song. this song probably is the thing that made me realized sooner. best song :3
Yay! Now I can cry even MORE while listening to this! :D (I'm a trans girl who still hasn't come to terms with my feelings so even something as simple as a trans comic can send me into hysterics)
So good!! Thank you very much. I know a lot of people have criticisms but honestly you did outstanding and putting yourself out their let alone your voice is hard and i think you should be proud of what youve done here! Thank you for the cover and keep doin what ya love!
Maybe because Mafumafu found his audience, a lot of people admire his high-pitch voice and love his personality. I think he is probably transgender inside but admitting it or making the physical change can be scary
@@wuba5456 can you keep your own theories to yourself about what other people identify as, dont force on your perceptions on others to justify your own beliefs
@@Bt-cq6te "maybe" and "I think" are clear indicators that I'm not trying to force my views on others, or that I'm trying to pass it off as fact. This comment's been here for a while and no-one's gotten that impression yet either. The original comment brought Mafu's identity up, the thread is speculative and/or on that topic, so I gave some thoughts I had as well. As long as fake information isn't spread as fact, Mafumafu isn't harassed over "what's your identity!!", and that kind of thing, no harm done
as a trans girl who’s only 2 months on hrt as of this comment, this cover makes me absolutely happy bawl, because it just really reminds me of how much i love being a girlll
@@gaelgutierrez809they are going wonderfullyyy, best decision i’ve ever made to become a girl and take hrt, i’m loving myself more and more by the day, it’s crazy what some silly blue pills can do to someone
@@jaythephoenixahhhhhh, it’s going so amazinglyyyyy, hrt has been treating me so well, i’ve mastered voice training, i’ve come out at work, i’ve the happiest i’ve ever been in my entire life, i’d never ever ever wanna go back to the way life was before i realized that i’m trans
As a trans woman I find this song in general as a very comforting one, I exist in a Limbo between being out and not out to my family, this song gets me hyped, maybe in the coming days I'll finally rip the metaphorical band-aid and finally come out to the rest of my family, I know it will go well, but my own irrational fears keep me from doing it, thank you for your English cover of the song, you have a very nice voice btw.
@@Conifer-gn6fl Tbf, the original was written by a cis guy, so... (for clarification, *I* am trans, but rn I'm not going to insinuate whether anyone else is)
hi i have some criticism as someone who 100% couldn't do better; I think its way too breathy and quiet for this type of song, Try and.. sharpen it a bit more and stp having it be so breathy
@@athyestic8374 i guess, but if you lsiten to the original mafumafu uses a very loud and boomy voice. And io really like that opposed to the quietness of the cover.
it's hard to sing as well as mafumafu ahehe🥴i made a compromise with the breathiness so that there'd be a bigger contrast between 1:30 boyvoice section and the rest of the song, but grill voice is pretty hard to sing in when it's not my natural voice, and adding breathiness on top... well, i'll get better as i go~ one step at a time
with the boyvoice section; i get that but honestly mafumafu's song barely has much contrast at all, so i think singing the girl parts in your naturally voice, and then deepening your voice a little bit for the boy sections might've worked better. Again though, I would never be able to do it better.
It's all i want and I'll never have it... Too young it's a phase > well see how you feel at 16 > well 18 > 21 > well brain is fully mature at 25 > etc etc etc...

Gender dysphoria: the official soundtrack
I think mafumafu has something to share with the class lol
@@spirtkitten4362 There's no Cis explanation for this song.
@@eureka5635 exactly!! This is just a coming out song. I should've used it to come out lolol
More like euphoria, in age like 14-15. And then the reality hammer hits right in the face.
REALL

Honestly yeah, that is kinda weird. (Makes me question whether Mafu is hiding something.)

Yay! Now I can listen to it while out without needing to read subtitles.
Everything came together so pretty :3

The guy who sung the original one is built different but this cover is good enough
Damn, I heard this song a lot of times but you I never realized it could work that well in English
Good job Sulfur!!!

The switching vocals sounded really smooth and good
Male here and god damn this song is making me feel emotions that I dont know what they are.

If the graphic novel 'the prince and the dress maker' was made into an anime, this would be the opening
So good!
Taking the fact that I like this song to the grave
This is my favorite song!! I love your cover , the art, everything! Keep up the good work!!! :D

Thank you foever
You:"But it's a secret,okay?"
Me: "Okay!!!!!!💘💘💘💘"
Ñ
As a trans girl I love thissss
The song is good
It is a really good cover
The cisgender male experience of listening to this song on loop and relating to it really hard
Egg?
@@Conifer-gn6fl Tbf, the original was written by a cis guy, so...

thank you so much for going the extra mile with this one, uni!!! it came out amazing... i couldn't have done it without you :3 :3 :3
I love being transgender 🏳️⚧️
Please someone tell me this is on spotify
I am Japanese because I can't understand this language. But I like this song.
image bg?
Is this from some anime?
Nope, it's an original song by mafumafu!
@@사이다-v5l Holy shit, that's very pog

this is the official transfem song
Great cover! The boy section wasn't really good but I understand not many people can change their voice like mafumafu

if they wanted criticism they wouldve asked for it :// ! /nm
I think the song being quiet and breathy adds to the song's charm, personally. The song is about vocalizing a secret. You don't do that so loudly.
