The Hiroshima High Court has granted a transgender woman the right to change her gender on the family registry without undergoing gender reassignment surgery. This decision, made on Wednesday, marks a significant departure from Japan's current legal requirement for such surgery, which the court found to be unconstitutional. The ruling is seen as a step forward for transgender rights in Japan, addressing both economic burdens and equal rights protections. LGBT groups have called the decision a mixed victory. The woman described the decision as fulfilling a long-held wish.
