The claim
性別変更「男ですと言ったら男になれる。女ですと言ったら女になれる」
Original review summary
The review says that changing legal sex requires multiple statutory conditions, including a diagnosis supported by two or more doctors, and cannot be based on gender identity alone. It concludes that the quoted claim is false. [S1][S1]
Additional context
The case followed a Supreme Court decision on October 25, 2023, which found the statutory requirement to be incapable of reproduction unconstitutional; the review notes that an appearance-related requirement remained. [S1] [S1]
