RAINBOW

I want you to love yourself first." Morita-san, 20, is a college student who sends such a message. Morita-san falls under the LGBTQ+ category of X-Gender. She says that she has loved herself since she can remember and that her first love was herself. It is precise because she is such a person that she has a message for those who are suffering in terms of gender and for those who lack self-confidence in themselves. Today, she continues to send out messages to change the world into a happier place.
