Japan govt hit after toilet ban
A TOKYO court yesterday ordered the Japanese government to pay compensation to a transgender official who was refused use of the women鈥檚 bathroom at work.
鈥淭he Tokyo district court ordered the accused to pay 1.3 million yen (US$12,000) in damages,鈥 a court spokesman said.
鈥淭he court also ordered the government to let the official use the women鈥檚 bathroom freely, by removing the requirement that she notify female employees she is transgender,鈥 the spokesman said.
The official who joined the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a man and now lives as a woman filed suit in 2015, demanding 16.5 million yen.
It is believed to be Japan鈥檚 first case involving damages over the work environment for transgender people.
The government argued that it limited the official鈥檚 use of the women鈥檚 bathroom because it 鈥渃ould not set aside concerns she could harm female staff.鈥
