Toilet use restrictions on trans gov't employee lifted

One of the more stupid "rules" I have ever heard of here. Just as bad as the "coloreds" only laws that one country used to have!

Get ready for the "Japan has copied the West and gone woke!" and "Women are not going to feel safe in their "safe space" now!" rants.

Based on this one person in the one ministry building.

Unisex toilets.

Job (pardon the expression) solved.

It is so ridiculous, it takes one year for the own government to act according to a court ruling.

Japan has copied the West and gone woke, women are not going to feel safe in their "safe space" now!

Dude should stay out of women’s spaces.

The employee “has been undergoing hormone therapy for years.”

Does that mean that the trans can’t get it up and poses no threat to biologically female employees?

It's really very simple. He has a male body with male body parts and male chromosomes, he's a man and uses mens' toilets. It doesn't matter what he feels. His mental health is not helped by going into agreement with his private fantasy.

Imagine unashamedly embracing the caricature.

So by the same token if she were post op, it would be okay to use the women's toilet? How would she be different than XY women born with lady parts?

You may think the issue is very simple - that the employee should have to use the mens toilets - but the Supreme Court has ruled otherwise.

And, I suspect, the Supreme Court decision entirely overrules your feelings on the case.

The trade ministry has lifted a restriction on a transgender employee's use of workplace restrooms, a government source said, more than a year after the top court ruled against such restrictions. She had been restricted to using the restrooms at least two floors above or below her office.

Japan already have a stand about LBGTQ, in school LBGTQ awareness already being provided.

Why treatment from each ministry can be vary?

did anyone ask biological women what they think about it?

Peter,

The majority of biological woman don’t care, its mostly (straight?) men who have made this an issue… and the lady who ruined Harry Potter.

is there any evidence to back that up?

surveys i found say it’s under 30’s only who are more likely to accept it.

not so for those older.

and the issue really comes down to appearance, how someone is dressed.

Really? Do you have any stats to back up your statement!

Amen to that, somebody talking the truth for once.

As far as I see, it is a bunch of right-wing male fundamentalists who are triggered by the trans people using female bathrooms. I would not want to share the same bathroom with those nuts either if I were trans. Trans people are probably safer using female bathrooms.

Are there any women here who does not feel safe having a trans person using their bathroom? if so, please share your concerns as well so the public have more information.

Nobody cares, If somebody has to use a toilet use it..........

Mountain pear and Peter kind of just proved my point. If there are any women on this platform, they’re not complaining. It’s only men who have a problem.

In all my experiences of sexual assault and harassment, which are many, exactly none of them were transgender women in bathrooms.

Women aren't afraid of transgender women in the bathrooms. We are afraid of cisgender men, period.

Biology and psychology are anything but simple.

That you think it is just shows a personal lack of understanding.
