Hey all, I’m a pre-op trans man traveling to Japan in May, but I look fully like a man with some facial hair and a deep voice, I’ve been on testosterone for quite some time and imagine many women would be uncomfortable with me being in women only spaces (onsens, capsule hotels, hostels)
I plan on pretty much exclusively using private onsens but as far as capsule hotels or hostels go, will they be going based on my passport gender?
But I would hate to pay for a capsule hotel, check into the female floor cuz that’s what it says on my passport, and be turned away and without room for the night because I absolutely do not look female. If they don’t check passports/IDs, or will look past the gender marker I’ll just book as male and all is well and good. Any advice or anyone sharing recommendations/stories very welcome as I’m not sure what to expect! Thank you
