Woman sues after boss publicly revealed she transitioned gender english.kyodonews.net

In a damages lawsuit filed with the Osaka District Court, the woman in her 40s demanded the hospital operator in Osaka Prefecture pay some 12 million yen ($113,000), according to the complaint.
Born male, she identified as a woman from a young age and underwent gender reassignment surgery when she was in her 20s, the complaint said.
She changed her gender status to female on her official family register in 2004.
The woman claims the hospital operator failed to educate its employees on dealing with such circumstances and violated a law obliging companies to maintain a safe working environment.
"We'd like to respond sincerely and appropriately after confirming the complaint," the hospital operator said.
