- Abstract: Recently, LGBT has become a popular topic, people of various gender expressions appeared on TV. Gender diversity is widely known in Japan. On the other hand, a transwoman who has diagnosed with gender identity disorder was prohibited from using women’s restrooms and locker rooms. The incomprehensible prejudice against gender dysphoria remains persistent. Since people with various gender expressions come to the hospital for consultation, medical professionals are not allowed to be biased against various gender expressions. In this article, a strategy for resolving prejudice against people with gender dysphoria will be proposed.
