These are tweets from one of Yuzuru’s female high school classmates about how they treated him. Go translate them yourself. You can judge from her tone what Yuzuru must have gone through in that classroom. “Men can say whatever they want just because they’re men?” LMAO, WTF. STFU.

What disgusts me most about this controversy is seeing Sasha’s fans use Yuzuru to build a false narrative about misogyny, completely ignoring what he actually went through. I know it’s impossible to keep the biggest name in this sport out of other people’s arguments. But at least get your facts right. Otherwise, you’re just spreading lies. What right do you have to condemn others when you’re doing something just as bad yourself? Misogyny is a problem rooted in society. Spreading lies is your own despicable choice. And I especially hate how easily people force simplistic gender narratives onto Yuzuru. Do you have any idea how much humiliation he’s faced for his femininity in a patriarchal society? He was bullied for his gender expression in high school, and people have mocked and insulted his feminine appearance for over a decade. Yet he has never stopped embracing and developing his own aesthetic. Doesn’t his very existence challenge that same patriarchal system from within? How can you reduce all of this to “he’s a man, so he has male privilege”
