Japan’s Supreme Court rules transgender people still have to get sterilized
Quote:
The Supreme Court of Japan has upheld a law which forces transgender people to get sterilised before they can legally change their gender.
The panel of four justices ruled unanimously on Thursday (January 24) to reject an appeal filed by Takakito Usui, a trans man who wants to change the gender on his official documents, Australian outlet SBS News has reported.
Usui was trying to overturn Law 111, which requires any person seeking to change their legal gender to have “no reproductive glands or reproductive glands that have permanently lost function.”
