It is unconstitutional to appeal if you have a minor child.
A 52-year-old contract employee with a gender identity disorder in Hyogo Prefecture, who has an 8-year-old daughter, filed an appeal to the Kobe Family Court Amagasaki Branch for a request to change the sex in the family register from male to female. The law does not allow gender changes when there are minors, and claims to "violate the constitution that stipulates equality under the law."
The person who filed the complaint was a 52-year-old male contractor who lives in Hyogo Prefecture. He was diagnosed with gender identity disorder about three years ago and had undergone an operation for gender adjustment.
In response to this, in order to change the sex in the family register to female, I applied for a family court in April, but I was asked to withdraw because I did not meet the requirements because there was an 8-year-old daughter is.
According to the “Gender Identity Disorder Law”, changes in sex in the family register may affect the welfare of the child, and are accepted when the six requirements are met, such as the absence of minor children.
In this allegation, `` I violate Article 13 of the Constitution that guarantees the right to pursue happiness and Article 14 of the Constitution that stipulates equality under the law, '' and appealed to admit that there was no actual life with the eldest daughter. The
The contract employee told a press conference and said, “When I knew that I was a man in the family register, it became difficult to work and I had changed jobs. Many people were similarly suffering, and I want them to change the law.”
