Japan is abolishing gender differences in school uniforms. What is this for?

The reason is that some people feel uncomfortable wearing school uniforms with obvious gender differences, because it reflects their psychological needs such as considering transsexuality.

Japanese female high school students' uniforms are short skirts and short sleeves, but now the introduction of the new Japanese government policy has been responded by many schools. Some schools have begun to change the style of students' uniforms, and female high school students can also wear trousers.

However, in the student days, school uniforms still have a special representative significance, especially the school uniforms of Japanese students have always left a deep impression on the public, with obvious differences between men and women. No one commented on the uniforms of Japanese male students, but most people focused on Japanese female students.

The school uniforms of Japanese female students may look beautiful under the influence of Japanese special culture, but they are not safe to some extent and are easily associated with some malicious people. After all, stockings and short skirts are special manifestations of female charm, and influenced by Japanese cultural atmosphere, some Japanese small movies will also show pictures of female high school students, which will have a bad influence on students' future.

This change can improve our view of Japanese students to a certain extent, and also meet the special psychological needs of some students, killing two birds with one stone.
