= , =you can see him or HER? in ARENA TOUR 2005

he should still be man in ARENA TOUR 2005
The news said he recently changed sex to female...

what the? i have followed this forum for years, I don't remember this person. Can someone please give me a summary about this guy...erhmm...girl? lol

I just fell off chair...

Hide was with Namie Amuro since 2008 I guess, don't remember how long though, there's plenty of him on AT05

well, good for him~

Haha, I kinda remember him from those concerts. :D I didn't know he wanted to become a woman. Oh, that's good for him though if that's what he wanted. :)

He looks fab <3

Good for her that she's now able to live with a body that feels right to her. :)

Wait, who is this person?
Can somebody fill me in please?
So he was a man until just recently, right?

So, Hide is a girl now? :0 Nice!^^ Good for her!

During Best Fiction or Play Tour, can't really remember, he did some of Namie's choreography during the dancers introduction. I believe it's easier to spot him/her at Namie's concert.^^

He was with Namie for at least two concerts. This is unexpected, but if he's happier now that's great :)

Can everybody please just stop using male pronouns because if she's a woman then everyone should respect it and stop using "he/him" while taking about her.

or just use the name Hide to avoid the confusion.

I don't think it's disrespectful to continue using "he/him". The way I understand it, the issue is usually on the physical side rather than in social reaction. Continuing the use of "he" for somebody who, biologically, still is male, is in no way showing disrespect unless it is used in a way making disrespect clear from the context, it's just factual. "She/Her" is simply a new additional possibility. I can definitely understand the person preferring the "new" gender pronouns of course, but the old ones are still correct, it's in no way an insult.

OMG SERIOUSLY?!?!
never expected this.

Super happy for her~!! Homegurl looks fab.

Actually, to the person, it can be understood as a insult, as it can be seen u r refusing to treat them by their gender psycological gender, the gender they needed to go by a big treatment and depending on the country, a lot of law-related issues to archieve. If its possible, always call people by the gender they identify with.

But I admit I find it hard using male pronouns to refere to the before-the-surgery Hide.

wow...i thought that maybe Gomi will do this...never expect that Hide did this...

congrats :) She was good looking as a man.
