    So up until very recently, Japan was requiring transgender people to be sterilized? 😬

      It’s a click-baity headline. They previously required surgical transition, which results in sterilisation. You couldn’t ‘just’ get a vasectomy or hysterectomy to get legal recognition, you needed new genitals too.

        Why. Are. Governments. So. Concerned. With. Our. Fucking. Genitals.

          Don’t worry, I got a plan! I named my junk “climate” & “change” so presumably they will begin worrying about something productive.

      They make cute things so, in general, we don’t talk about how completely fucked Japan can be.

      Correct, but only if you wanted to change your legal gender. So many transgendered people in Japan have yet to do so to avoid undergoing that procedure.

      Hopefully, that’s no longer a problem.
