Regarding homosexuality (in response to a comment from a fellow reader)
Views on homosexuality
In a Western television series I watched, it was mentioned that among those who wish to change their gender, the ratio of males to females is 10:1
Just as Leslie Cheung experienced melancholy, the love that seeks validation from others brings immense suffering, regardless of whether it is same-sex or opposite-sex love
Therefore, I ask everyone to be a little more tolerant
In my view, there are two categories within homosexuality: genuine homosexuality and pseudo-homosexuality
The issue of homosexuality has existed since ancient times. In ancient China, the "broken sleeve" and "Longyang's affection" are both descriptions of homosexuality. Similarly, there are numerous accounts of homosexuality in Western records.
3. Induced formation type. This type is somewhat difficult to define. It may arise from having friends who are homosexual, or from the desire to experiment with novelty. This situation can also be reversed
And also, regarding the *picture* book, there will be people who will scold me again for writing these chaotic and nonsensical things...

2. Psychologically traumatized homosexuals. This situation often arises from being hurt by the opposite sex during interactions, leading to a fear of the opposite sex. This condition is also reversible. With psychological counseling, they may potentially return to being heterosexual.
First of all, I declare that I do not discriminate against homosexuality; this is merely a matter of sexual orientation. If someone who has studied psychology cannot accept homosexuality, then what is there to discuss regarding the study of human psychology
This topic, I discussed with my classmates during my psychology course in university. If there are any classmates from that class among the readers here, you will surely remember what I said back then
In contrast to illustrated books, will individuals who undergo gender reassignment surgery face discrimination? It is likely that many will label them as abnormal.
But I would like to ask everyone, why can't we be a little more tolerant
If everyone has watched "Lan Yu" and "Brokeback Mountain," you may be moved by them
Second, there are various classifications of pseudo-homosexuality. These include environmental homosexuality, trauma-induced homosexuality, and induced formation homosexuality, among others
We will not discuss those who undergo gender transition for the sake of hype or fame. I remember one transgender individual saying to the agent: "If you discovered at the age of four that your soul was trapped in the wrong body, you would understand my pain." This statement is somewhat similar to what the director said above, yet it expresses a sense of helplessness.
This type of homosexuality cannot be changed through methods such as psychological guidance. For example, a male homosexual may have no desire at all when he sees a woman, unable to achieve an erection, while he truly desires a man. This is true homosexuality
Why does this book include homosexual themes? I simply want to draw attention to many, many issues, and I hope my readers can pay attention as well
I have never discriminated; I truly believe it is a matter of sexual orientation. My opinion aligns with what Xiao Xiaobai stated in the book: this is merely a matter of sexual orientation
True homosexuals, their lifelong love will always be of the opposite sex, even if they marry and have children, the true love in their hearts is not their spouse, but rather a specific person of the same sex
1. True homosexuality refers to a genuine form of homosexuality, meaning that from the day he (or she) was born, he (or she) is destined to love only the same sex and not the opposite sex. As stated by the director of a film depicting homosexuality: God placed my soul in the wrong body
It is all love, merely a form of love that is less common; why should it be discriminated against
In fact, if that gay friend of mine is not in such a hurry, after you read the next two chapters that I am going to update, you will understand why I chose to write such a plot
It is said that there are ten men who wish to become women, while there is only one woman who wishes to become a man
Do not impose on others what you do not desire for yourself
Let us discuss the topic of homosexuality
I wrote this book not only to solve a mystery and to provide everyone with a good story, but more importantly, I want to draw attention to certain things, including the preciousness of life and the importance of tolerance towards others
During my university years, I watched "The Wedding Banquet," "Lan Yu," and "Brokeback Mountain" (which actually has some elements of environmental homosexuality). I believe that love between the same sex is not as evil as ordinary people might think; it is simply not accepted by the secular world.
1. Environmental homosexuality can be simply described as a phenomenon arising from the loneliness and repression of the environment. In certain specific places or contexts, such as among gold miners, in the military, in prisons, in some former girls' schools, and among Japanese geishas, this type of homosexuality emerges primarily due to the surrounding environment. Individuals, feeling lonely and unable to cope, or yearning for interpersonal connection, may develop such relationships. However, in reality, they are not homosexuals in the true sense. Once the environment changes, they are likely to rediscover their heterosexual partners and return to the realm of heterosexuality. This type of homosexuality is mainly shaped by the environment, where individuals, due to loneliness or a desire for communication, develop such relationships, but they are not genuinely homosexuals in the true sense. Once the environment changes, they are likely to rediscover their heterosexual partners and return to the realm of heterosexuality.
