变性官员因工作中的厕所使用问题寻求赔偿



TOKYO — A trade ministry official, who was born male but hasled life as a female, has filed a damages suit against the state, overrestrictions on the use of women’s toilets at the ministry.

东京—— 一位贸易部门的官员——生为男性，但是在后天生活中变成了一名女性——已经向国家提起了损害赔偿诉讼，原因是该部门限制其使用女厕所。

The official in her 40s is seeking around 16million yen in compensation and improved treatment in the suit filed with theTokyo District Court on Friday.

这位官员在她40岁的时候，于周五向东京法院提起诉讼，寻求1600万日元的补偿和其待遇的改善。

It is the first case in Japan in whicha sexual minority is demanding improved treatment in a workplace, according tolawyers for the plaintiff.

根据原告律师提供的信息，这是日本少数性别群体要求改善待遇的第一例案例。

The official has worked wearing women’s clothessince 2010 with the approval of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry,and has been using the women’s locker room, according to the written complaint.

据起诉状上的信息表示，自从于2010年得到经济、贸易和工业部门的批准以来，这位官员就一直着女装工作，也一直在使用女性衣帽间。

But the official has been requested to usetoilets for disabled people or for women two or more floors away from herdepartment, with the ministry explaining that some of her female colleagueshave expressed reluctance to use the same toilet.

但该官员一直被要求使用残疾人厕所，或是距离她的部门两个或两个以上的楼层的女厕所,部门对此的解释是,她的一些女同事表示不愿意与其共用同一厕所。

In 2013, the official asked the National PersonnelAuthority, which protects the interests of government officials, to improve thesituation, but the request was rejected.

2013年时，该官员向保护政府官员利益的国家人事部门要求改善当时状况，但是该要求被驳回了。

Limiting the use of toilets constitutes a“denial of identity and disregard of human rights,” the official said at apress conference after filing the lawsuit. “I want to be treated the same wayas other women.”

限制使用厕所会构成“否认身份和漠视人权,”这位官员在提起诉讼后的新闻发布会上这样说道。“我想得到与其他女人一样的待遇。”

The ministry only said it has not yet receivedthe complaint.

该部门只表示他们现在还未收到投诉。

Good for her! I hope she wins and wakes up the folks around her to reality!

做得好！我真心希望她能赢，然后唤醒她周围的人们，回归现实！

Not seen a quote for the job but the compensation would pay for it's sexual reassignment I guess.

一句也未曾提到过该官员的工作，但是我猜这笔赔偿金将会偿清其变性术的手续费吧。

“I want to be treated the same way as other women.”But you're NOT a woman, you're an ojisan in a dress

“我想得到与其他女人一样的待遇。”但是你并不是个女人，你就是个穿着裙子的欧吉桑。

Is gender decided simply by physiology? Some feel it is simple: Yes. But for others it is not and some also argue not.

性别是单纯由生理机能决定的吗？有些人觉得这很简单：是的。但是对于其他人而言不是这样的，而我也觉得不是那么简单的。

Maybe they should have three toilets, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Etc.

也许他们应该建三类厕所，女厕所，男厕所，和其他。

Will "Etc." have urinals or not?

那“其他”是会有小便器还是没有呢？

Whatever happens with the lawsuit, she shaking up Japan's status quo, which is a good thing.

不管这场官司的结果是什么，她都撼动了日本的现状，这是件好事。

Japantoday, reading a few English language-Japanese newspapers over the years I came to the conclusion that this was my favorite.
However misusing male and female pronouns is a good way to lose credibility. Unless this man found some way to remove the Y chromosome from his DNA he is still a man. He may be a man that is confused, sick, or just has a different set of values but he is a man.

《今日日本》，这些年来读了一些英日报纸之后，我得出了一个结论：这篇文章是我的最爱。
但是滥用男性和女性代词造成了可信度的缺失。除非这个人能找到某种方法移除他DNA中的Y染色体，不然他就始终是个男人。他可能会是个困惑的男人，生病了的男人，或者是拥有不同价值观的男人，但他始终还是个男人。

What's the big deal, let him/her use the women's toilet. There are not urinals in the women's toilets, so he/she does their business behind a closed stall. No one sees anything. Are women getting naked in front of the mirrors and sinks? I don't hear anyone complaining about the old ladies that clean men's restrooms. They go in while men are standing there with there junk out taking a piss. Should men now file lawsuits? If he/she does anything inappropriate in the restroom, then he/she should be dealt with accordingly. Otherwise just do your business and move on.

有什么大不了的，就让他/她使用女厕所啊。女厕所里又没有小便器，所以他/她只能在一个封闭的小隔间里解决自己的问题。没有人会看到什么。女人们会在镜子和水池前赤裸着吗？我从未听过有人抱怨过老女人打扫男洗手间。他们在男人们还在站着尿尿的时候就进来了。那现在男人也应该要提起法律诉讼吗？如果他/她在洗手间里做出了什么不适宜的举动，那么就应该对他/她进行相应的处理。否则就顾好你们自己的事情，然后继续吧。

Unless this man found some way to remove the Y chromosome from his DNA he is still a man. He may be a man that is confused, sick, or just has a different set of values but he is a man.
That's your perspective; his differs. It's a human rights issue for each culture to determine based on their respective interpretations of individual rights.

除非这个人能找到某种方法移除他DNA中的Y染色体，不然他就始终是个男人。他可能会是个困惑的男人，生病了的男人，或者是拥有不同价值观的男人，但他始终还是个男人。
那是你的观点；他想的不一样。那是每个文化在基于它们各自对个人权利的理解与诠释所决定的人权问题。

Welcome to 2015 - where the supposed "rights" of one individual trump those of the masses!

欢迎来到2015年——在这里所谓的个人“权利”胜过一切的群体大众！

Limiting the use of toilets constitutes a “denial of identity and disregard of human rights,” the official said at a press conference after filing the lawsuit. “I want to be treated the same way as other women.”
Save you're not a woman down there and the women are genuinely worried about that. There is nothing discriminatory about that.

限制使用厕所会构成“否认身份和漠视人权,”这位官员在提起诉讼后的新闻发布会上这样说道。“我想得到与其他女人一样的待遇。”
除开你不是女人这点不谈，别的女人都是真的对此感到担心。这里根本就没有什么歧视的问题。

The Ministry approved she wear woman's clothing and she is allowed to use the woman's locker room but because other women feel uncomfortable they deny her use of their bathroom. It sounds reasonable to me.

该部门准许她着女装，也准许她使用女性衣帽间，但是因为其他女性对此感到不舒服，所以他们不许她使用她们的卫生间。于我而言，这听起来很合理啊。

So the ministry are saying they have nothing to go on?

所以该部门是在说他们没有发生任何事？

DavnetcatNOV. 15, 2015 - 09:50AM JST
Nuts!

一群呆子！

he/she just wants to be in the news

他/她只是想上新闻
