This article seems to have a certain LGBT ideology bias
This article says "Umbrella terms such as these had a negative sociological impact, generalizing various queer identities into a single concept. Similar to the experience of LGBT persons in other countries, Japanese LGBT people lacked the linguistic space to exist in." I argue that a term identifying non-heterosexual people does not have a "negative sociological impact" because it would be almost impossible to widely discriminate against - for example - homosexual males if there is no word for homosexual males. You cannot say something like "All homosexual males are bad" if there is no word for a homosexual male. Also, there is no source saying that LGBT people in Japan before the Meiji Restoration* wanted a specific word for their manifestation of non-heterosexuality; if this article did have such a source (which I highly doubt exists) then this certainly have a "negative sociological impact"; but this article doesn't.


 * I specifically say the Meiji Restoration because that was when there was a signifcant influx of western culture and western culture brought ideas of homosexual inferiority Progenitor Eri (talk) 22:43, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
