The claim

最高裁が、手術をしていない「自称女性」の主張を受け入れろと判決

Original review summary

The review says the ruling concerned restrictions on one transgender employee’s use of women’s restrooms at her workplace, and considered her individual circumstances. It notes that the ruling did not address use of public facilities generally; the court’s supplemental opinion expressly reserved that broader question.[S1]

Additional context

The review describes the employee as having received a diagnosis in 1999 and continuing hormone treatment; it says she had requested to work as a woman in 2009. [S1]
