A 27-year-old man who has legally changed his sexual status due to gender identity disorder called Monday on Justice Minister Keiko Chiba to register his son, born by artificial insemination, as his legitimate child.

The Justice Ministry has been refusing his request.

"The country recognized me as a man, then why can't I be recognized as a father?" the man from Shiso, Hyogo Prefecture, said at a news conference after meeting with Chiba. "I just want to live a normal life."
