INTEREST: Japanese School Opts for Flexible Uniform Code to Support LGBT Students

Dress codes also exist to instill a sense to discipline, which is of course a fundamental value to teach to any future functioning member of society.

So what is your issue? Dress code is still in effect at the school, teaching kids discipline, as they can not wear what they want but have to conform to the expected uniforms.

The issue is that this is a middle school and crossdressing is not really something that should be fomented at any age that isn't adulthood. Such a socially transgressive act should best be left for people who have the emotional maturity for it.

Which is a completly different argument than what you were trying to pass it as.

We are talking about a natural process, not an arrangement! Japan already has serious problems, if they continue to listen to these progressive idealists will end up worsening the situation itself.

Progressive ideas is what would save Japan, right now. The point is that straight people don't want to have children, and one of the reason for that is because companies really hate maternal leave.
In the moment they stop trying to kill a woman carrer in the instant she gets pregnant, things should change for the better.

It's called "Tasting the dog biscuit", and admit it, you've always been secretly curious to do THAT. (Seriously, what is it, they get so excited about them!)

Meaning, it's the natural human instinct to feel incomplete if you can't experience what you see someone else does, and want to try it yourself for the first-person accumulated knowledge.
That doesn't mean you want to make a life commitment to demonstrate your Sensitive Off-Centerism to the World, it just means you've always been curious what skydiving, bungee-jumping, or driving a NASCAR racer is all about either just once, although you wouldn't want to do it for a living.

Perspective means knowing the difference, and there are a lot of people in the world too caught up with their neato selves NOT to.

No no, I agree with you on that. It is mostly a matter of basic social norms changing fairly rapdily as progressions such as these are indicative of.

"Students that have a penis" maybe.

..... isn't that what things like demerits, detention, & suspensions are for?

So is not judging and mistreating people which unfortunately is something that's not regularly taught and in fact encouraged in some cultures.

A Tokyo public school has adopted Giorgio Armani uniforms for students, triggering criticism in a country where hefty school fees are already burdening young parents.

Taimei Elementary School in Tokyo's upscale Ginza shopping district has announced plans to introduce the new uniform option, which costs more than 80,000 yen ($730) for a full set. A minimum set — a navy-blue jacket and matching trousers or skirt, a long-sleeve shirt and a hat — would be more than twice the price of the current uniforms.

You think punishment is the only way to instill discipline? Yikes, how punitive.

Please don't use the "don't judge people" excuse for literally brainwashing kids into thinking crossdressing is okay at their age

It's gross and highly, highly unwarranted.
