  1. An interesting action was held last Wednesday in Japan. High school students exchanged their uniform a day and this movement is named "sexchange day"(sex+ exchange). Here is the rink of the article.

    I read the article about this in Japanese too and the article said this action is controversy; some people disagree with this movement. Some people said "It may lead wrong taste. Boys may start to dress up in women's outfit. Boys may be going to be gay." I was so sad because there are still people who believes being gay is choice, and some people did not understand the purpose of the action. A student who organized this said “we tend to be hardened to one idea, and it stop us from thinking and having a question.” I strongly agree with what she said. If we want to solve any kind of issue, the different standpoint is necessary. Thorough the “sexchange,” students could see other gender’s perspective.
