マスコミの取材に応えてみよう

Communicating with the media

あなたはマスコミ関係者に取材されるところです。

マスコミと話す際の基本的な大まかな方法は「ノーコメント」と言いうことを避けることです。それはあなたが何かを隠したり責任逃れしようとしたりすることを示唆するだけです。どんな質問をされるか予想し、手元に正確な情報を持っているか確かめてインタビューに備えましょう。

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today.

Hello. This time I'm going to discuss people who suffer from minority gender.
My research has revealed that, in fact, anywhere in the world, 1 in 10 people can be said to be LGBTQ+ in some way. LGBTQ+ is a gender group that cannot be described as male or female. The reason may be that the person's sexual expression, or sexual orientation, differs from that of the majority.
The rights of such minorities deserve to be respected. However, unfortunately in Japan, consideration for such people is not enough, and it has become a big problem.

1. Rewrite this phrase to correct the wrong word order.

I believe that many countries are still resistant to discussing and contemplating LGBTQ+ issues. What makes you believe that people in your country lack empathy towards this minority group? What law about gay rights would you like your government to pass?

I believe that the reason for this is that most of the people who debate in the Diet are elderly men. While young people and women tend to be more enthusiastic about minority issues, older men are less enthusiastic about minority issues. In many Western countries, discussions are held in the arena of national politics with a high proportion of young people and women in parliament, but this is not the case in Japan. With conservative Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers making up the majority, the idea of making special laws for LGBTQ+ people is probably hard to come up with.

1. This is a more natural way of writing this phrase.

It's unfortunate that the lack of representation in politics can hinder progress on LGBTQ+ rights. What steps do you think could be taken to increase awareness and support for this minority group in Japan?

To that end, I believe that it is important for politics to create a foundation for recognizing LGBTQ+ rights throughout the world through actions such as recognizing same-sex marriage. It is also necessary for each of us to respond appropriately when people around us come out as LGBTQ+, and never to disseminate that information to the public without their permission. It is also important to use neutral expressions in everyday situations as much as possible, and to avoid judging people with masculine or feminine expressions.
From here, let's think about issues such as restrooms for minorities.

1. The comma is not necessary here.

It's crucial to support inclusivity and respect people's privacy. Regarding restrooms for minorities, what measures do you think would promote a more inclusive environment? How can societies ensure the safety and comfort of everyone?

The restroom world is no exception to our mission to make everyone feel comfortable.
Restrooms with a new concept of gender-free restrooms are now being seen in many office districts in countries such as the United States that are actively working toward diversity. I think that if this kind of trend progresses in Japan, it will be extremely useful in improving the restroom situation for LGBTQ+ Japanese people.
This concludes today's presentation. Thank you for your attention.

1. Everything is correct, an alternative way of phrasing this sentence is "This marks the end of today's presentation.".
