Japan&#039;s Supreme Court has ruled a workplace&#039;s restriction on which bathroom a transgender employee could use was not legal.
                
The case involves a worker at Japan&#039;s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The woman, who identifies as transgender, filed a suit in 2015 after she was banned by her government office from using certain women&#039;s restrooms.
                
A district court found those restrictions to be illegal. But the Tokyo High Court later overturned that ruling.
                
On Tuesday, Japan&#039;s top court ruled against the bathroom restriction.
                
It says the workplace caused significant inconvenience for the plaintiff while placing excessive priority on the feelings of other employees.
                
It&#039;s the first time Japan&#039;s Supreme Court has ruled on a case regarding LGBTQ employees in the workplace.
                
The plaintiff says it could have wide-ranging impacts on Japanese companies and public agencies.
                
The plaintiff also said: &quot;This is a Supreme Court ruling for people who are transgender or experience gender dysphoria, but the judges&#039; opinions could also apply in other human rights issues where discrimination still happens.
                
Japan&#039;s top government spokesperson says officials will examine the ruling and respond accordingly.
                
Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno Hirokazu said: &quot;We will do our best to create a society where diversity and human rights are respected, and people of all identities, including members of sexual minorities and the majority, can enjoy full lives.
                
It comes after Japan&#039;s Diet passed a law to promote understanding of the LGBTQ community last month.
