OSAKA Prefectural police filed papers with prosecutors on Dec. 6 over a transgender woman who used a women’s restroom, accusing her of trespassing, sources said.
The five prefectures which have removed the gender field for admissions in public high schools for 2022 are Yamagata, Togichi, Gunma, Chiba and Shizuoka.
Students applying to enter public high schools from next spring will no longer be required to specify their gender on the application form in all of Japan s 47 prefectures except Tokyo, local education boards say.

When a 16-year-old second-year student at a Kanagawa prefectural high school had a lesson on global warming, she looked around and realized her classroom was part of the problem.
She saw that the room was using electricity and an air conditioner. She was also informed in a school office that the school s electricity was mainly supplied by thermal power generation. It s such a contradiction to see the school boosting global warming when it is teaching about it, the girl said. It doesn t make sense for the school to destroy the future.
