A female member of Japanese idol group XG just came out as "transmasculine nonbinary" and said she got a mastectomy earlier this year.

She seemed pretty cool as she had a shaved head, and is the only female idol in existence with a shaved head (most female idols don't even have short hair much less a shaved head) but of course... she had to identify out of being a woman.

She also posted a photo with her mastectomy scars which just really screams indoctrination to me because it's so by the book.

It's quite sad as she's only 20, and the ideology is just so clearly regressive and harmful. But it's worse here because XG is a SUPER popular group, so she might inspire more women and girls to harm themselves, and helps to legitimize this ideology more.

Sinead O'Connor had a shaved head back in the 80's so there has been at least one other, but yes, I totally agree with you. It's very sad. Not wanting to conform to stereotypes doesn't mean that you're not a woman.

Skin of Skunk Anansie is another female singer with a shaven head.

So depressing. Popular culture essentially punishing non conformity.

It's hard not to feel sad that such a young woman has felt compelled to do this.
