Transspolnost v japonski družbi, vpliv zakonske pogojenosti na pravno menjavo spola

Gregorič, Gaia Kristina (author), Visočnik, Nataša (mentor)

V svojem diplomskem delu sem raziskala, kako zakonska pogojenost vpliva na posameznika na Japonskem, ki se sooča z motnjo spolne identitete in si želi pravno spremeniti spol. Izhodišče analize je Zakon o posebnih določbah za zdravljenje motenj spolne identitete, ki je na Japonskem v veljavi od leta 2003. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti zakonik, ki pogojuje prehod iz enega spola v drugega, in analizirati njegove sporne točke. V delu sem najprej pregledno predstavila uporabljeno terminologijo, razvoj seksologije skozi čas ter se naposled osredotočila na to, kako je japonska družba v preteklosti drugače dojemala spol. Osrednji del naloge predstavlja analiza japonskega zakonika in primerjava s slovensko zakonodajo. Na Japonskem je namreč zakonik za transspolne osebe velika ovira, saj močno omejuje in pogojuje njihova življenja. Zaradi aktualnosti obravnavane problematike, ki je v marsikaterih družbenih sferah še vedno tabuizirana, predstavlja diplomsko delo pomemben prispevek k osvetlitvi problemov, s katerimi se soočajo transspolne osebe na Japonskem.

Abstract

In my thesis, I investigated how legal conditionality affects an individual in Japan who is experiencing gender identity disorder and wishes to legally change their gender. The starting point for the analysis is the Law on Special Provisions for the Treatment of Gender Identity Disorders, which has been in force in Japan since 2003. The aim of the thesis is to present the law that makes gender transition conditional and to analyse its controversial points. In the thesis, I first give an overview of the terminology used, the development of sexology over time, and finally focus on how Japanese society has perceived gender differences in the past. The central part of the thesis is an analysis of Japanese law and a comparison with Slovenian legislation. In Japan, the law is a major obstacle for transgender people, as it severely restricts and conditions their lives. Due to the topicality of the issue, which is still taboo in many social spheres, the thesis is an important contribution to shedding light on the problems faced by transgender people in Japan.
