The women-only carriage on Japanese trains is somewhat controversial. Although the carriages are intended to prevent incidences of “groping”, critics of the carriage say that it takes up previous space on already crowded commuter trains.
Now, a tweet showing a man dressed as a woman riding the women-only carriage on a Japanese train has caught the attention of Hamusoku netizens, most of whom are fairly supportive. But is the man making a stand against women-only carriages? Or is he a transvestite-in-training who just wants to fit in?

There’s space to his left and right — guess everyone around him has also clearly noticed?
ハムスター名無し:
Nah, no matter how you look at him, that’s a woman (wobbly voice)

ハムスター名無し:
Whhhaaa!?
ハムスター名無し:
Good pair of legs.
ハムスター名無し:
The way that the person on the right is trying to avoid him is terrible.
ハムスターちゃんねる:
Contrary to what you lot think, I reckon that’s a woman.
ハムスターちゃんねる:
LMFAO
ハムスターちゃんねる:
If he was actually sitting right in front of you, which way would you look….(；´Д｀)
ハムスターちゃんねる:
Cutie.
ハムスターちゃんねる2:
Isn’t he smirking? wwwwwwww
ハムスター名無し:
He is blatantly a man.
ハムスター名無し:
Doesn’t he have some kind of gender identity disorder?
ハムスターちゃんねる:
In his mind he’s all woman, so what’s the harm?
I mean, I guess.
ハムスター名無し:
Dude, it’s not a crime even if a guy gets on the women-only carriage.
ハムスター名無し:
Yeah, because it’s not against the law or anything, they’re just asking for people to co-operate with women only carriages.
ハムスター名無し:
Well he’s definitely brave, I’ll give him that.
….Or is he just doing it because he likes it?
ハムスター名無し:
What’s the problem?
If he himself thinks he’s a woman.
I mean, that’s why those around him are taking care not to say anything.
But the fucker who stole a picture of him, you’re no good.
ハムスターちゃんねる:
If he had a gender identity disorder, then he’d probably look a bit more like an ordinary woman.
This is just a transvestite.
ハムスターちゃんねる:
If he’s going this far with it, then I guess it’s OK.
