Or maybe a guy who "identifies" himself as a woman. Or perhaps a woman who identifies as a man? Or some one in between.

If it was a "woman" she has some serious issues.

A 33 year old woman from Osaka has been arrested according to NHK news.

This is incredibly strange isn’t it? My partner was in that store on Wednesday purchasing some bread on B2. So, glad she wasn’t a victim, she’d be terribly upset and shaken by something like that.

I guess it’s safe to assume that whoever did this fiendish act has a few screws loose, oh yeah .

You know what happens when you assume. You make an ... you know.
