Some Japanese high school students switched uniforms with the
opposite s*x for “Sexchange Day,” an event designed by the students. UPI
reports:
Fuji Hokuryo High School’s Tuesday event, named for the
combination of the English words “s*x” and “exchange,” saw 299 students,
about 40 percent of the student body, show up for school in sweats and
then dress in uniforms designed for the opposite s*x for the school day.
“Sexchange Day” was designed by students at the Yamanashi prefecture
school and was approved by officials. The students said the event was
designed to get students thinking about gender and gender identity
issues.
“This is a project for students to observe things differently” Vice
Principal Hirofumi Miyashita told the Wall Street Journal’s Japan Real
Time.
Vice Principal Osamu Takano said the school took steps to ensure the student body would be prepared for the experiment.
“We think the students understood the aim behind the exchange. The
students who proposed it explained to the rest of the student body the
concept behind it at a meeting,” he told the Yomiuri Shimbun.
