This is pretty huge, good on him for being brave, hopefully more Japanese people are inspired and do the same as him

He's probably ending his career with this given how pridefully inflexible Japanese culture is. That said, he has the potential to be a national icon if the battle for equality is won there one day.

That was a fascinating uplifting article, thank you for sharing. I definitely recommend people read for more details and context.
