A Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lawmaker's comments about LGBT people seem to be causing problems.

I'm thinking, 'Oh, something's happened again.

This time, however, I didn't do any research from primary information -- It seems to be troublesome.

For example, the investigation into Ms. Sugita's so-called "women always lie" comment took up three full days of my time.

At that time, I realized that if I get involved with strange people, I will end up in trouble.

To be honest, LGBT issues are quite difficult.

I had a very bad experience when I was working on a series of articles about transgender people.

There are a few people who say, "Don't talk about it if you're not a part of the problem"

In fact, since I am not a party to the problem, I have no way to judge whether my 'position' is correct or not.

If I'm told not to talk about it, even by a few people -- I won't talk about it.

In fact, now I have stopped talking about this issue.

(However, I have been consulted privately about technical details, and I am answering to the best of my knowledge.)

I think it is not a good idea to criticize the words and actions of people who do not know where they stand in relation to LGBT people.

This is because I think there are a lot of people like me who get deflated by criticism and come to "I'm not going to touch this issue".

Metaphorically speaking,

"When a student go to the staff room with the answers to their homework, which she/he had worked out in their own way, the teacher yelled at them in a fierce manner"

If that happens, the student will never go to that teacher again to ask a question.

Taxes, aging population, declining birth rate, education -- these are all things that every citizen is a "party" to.

Computers, artificial intelligence, Bitcoin, EtherCAT -- these are all "parties" to me in the sense of "come at me from anywhere! "

Even I, a person who is often asked, "Is there anything you are scared of, Mr. Ebata?" (misunderstanding), am really "scared" of discussing LGBT issues.

Because no matter how much I study, I will never know what is the right answer.
