I think the way this issue is being framed is disingenuous.In Japan, and in many other countries, before one can change the gender marker on his legal documents, such as his driver's license, he must first have sex reassignment surgery.
Sex reassignment surgery involves reconfiguring the genitals in a way that necessarily leaves one sterile.
That is where this notion that the Japanese government requires one to be sterilized comes from.
If you want to argue that the law is antiquated and/or unfair, you are free to do so, but you do not need to mislead people to make your case.
Well that makes more sense, hopefully that clears up the perceived "forced sterilization, so let's attack Hollywood here for some unrelated reason!" outrage.
