So up until very recently, Japan was requiring transgender people to be sterilized? 😬
Believe it or not, but many countries in the West didn't drop that horrific requirement until a decade ago.
It's a click-baity headline. They previously required surgical transition, which results in sterilisation. You couldn't 'just' get a vasectomy or hysterectomy to get legal recognition, you needed new genitals too.
Australia still requires it. The state made me get steralised.
Cool and good.
