Gov't advises schools on responding to needs of students with gender identity disorder

http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20100513p2a00m0na010000c.html

The government has advised schools across Japan to thoroughly discuss the education of students with gender identity disorder (GID), and to give the feelings of such children the utmost consideration.

Students with GID -- who feel uncomfortable with their biological gender and identify strongly with the opposite sex -- often experience stress over everyday school life, such as putting on their uniform or using the toilets and change rooms, and this sometimes leads the children to stop coming to school.
