Tokyo: A trans man in Shizuoka has filed a lawsuit against his employer saying that it is illegal for his employer to cancel his employment contract because of his Gender Identity Disorder (GID). Sankei Newspaper and others have reported on February 13.
The 33-year-old man was born as a female. In 2004, he has started his life as a man.
Last summer, he had a job interview with an advertisement design company, ‘ad technica’ in Shizuoka, Japan and was informally promised employment by the company as a man, without the company’s knowing that he was still female on his family registry.
