Ⅰ. Basic Policy on Gender Diversity at Shimane University
In its Declaration of Diversity Promotion, Shimane University has stated that it respects gender
diversity. Based on this basic policy, we have established this Response Guidebook.
Shimane University Declaration of Diversity Promotion (2nd Version)In accordance with its Charter, Shimane University is striving to develop a society that works
in harmony with nature through education, research, medical care, and social contribution. In
order for Shimane University to make even greater strides as “a university rooted in the local
community and shines with individuality that transmits from the community to the world,” it isnecessary to promote diversity in education, research, and employment.
To this end, we will foster a university culture that respects diverse senses of values andlifestyles regardless of gender, gender identity and/or sexual orientation, disability, nationality,
age, religion, values, and beliefs. Further, while utilizing the talents of each of our members,
we will create vitality in the local community through our educational and research activities,
and lead the way toward a vibrant future of the region.
Therefore, Shimane University hereby declares that it will promote diversity through thefollowing Basic Policy.

Ⅱ. About the Guidebook
The basic principle of dealing with diversity is to first confirm a person’s intention, makecareful and clear explanations, and then create a situation in which a person can choose
for themselves and decide what to do. While it is important for the University to create anenvironment that takes gender diversity into consideration, it is not appropriate for a person in
charge or other concerned persons to make decisions based on their own assumptions about
the person’s sexuality and/or gender identity or to make special accommodations without the
explicit wishes and consent of the person involved.
This Guidebook provides specific information on how the University responds to different
scenarios. Shimane University’s policies and ideas are described under the “Concept” section,
while the responses that the persons involved (at consultation desks and offices, etc.) should
be aware of are detailed under the “Response” section; furthermore, what students, faculty,
and staff should do in order to receive support is detailed under “Individual persons.”
The contents of this Guidebook are applied from October 2022. If you have any questions, or
if any of the contents are inaccurate, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation
Desk.
Ⅲ. Consultation services
Consultation services are available at the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk,
where one can inquire about the contents of this Guidebook or any other related topic.
Consultants will protect the privacy of the person consulting and the consultation contents,
so feel free to consult with them. However, depending on the contents of the consultation,
we may need to collaborate with related organizations; Before proceeding with any suchcollaboration, we will be sure to first confirm the scope and contents of the collaboration
with the person making the consultation. Also, depending on the individual situation and thecircumstances of the University, we may not always be able to respond to your desires.
1. Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk
Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desks are located at the following organizations.
Matsue Campus: Health Service Centere-mail: health@soc.shimane-u.ac.jp

Izumo Campus: Izumo Health Service Centere-mail: healthizumo@med.shimane-u.ac.jp

2. Consultation services for issues and problems, etc.
If you have any problems concerning your sexuality or gender involving one or more University
faculty, staff, students, etc., the harassment consultation is at your service. Harassment basedon sexuality or gender identity may include any or more of the following:• Ridiculing or making discriminatory remarks about a person’s gender identity or sexual
orientation.
• Making comments based on stereotyped gender roles (e.g., “You’re a man, so ... ,” “You’rea woman, so ... ,” “[Speaking, acting, dressing, etc.] like a ...,” etc.) or encouraging or forcing-4-others to act based on the same attitudes, regardless of whether these statements are
made to a person of the same sex or the opposite sex.
•R evealing or sharing an individual’s gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, or
physical or sexual characteristics without the individual’s consent (i.e., “outing” someone).
The Shimane University Manual for the Prevention of Harassment also prohibits such conduct.
(The following is a Japanese-language explanation of Harassment Prevention at Shimane
University.)

3. Information provision and raising awareness
The Diversity Promotion Office raises awareness of gender diversity on campus and provides
information (e.g., by lending books, DVDs, and materials) for those who wish to learn more.
Ⅳ. Environmental improvements
From the perspective of universal design, the University endeavors to arrange its operating
methods and facilities so that the University environment is accessible to everyone, and theinformation provided can be used by anyone.
*For the latest status on facilities, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk.

1. Restrooms
The multipurpose restrooms are shared by both men and women. If you have difficulty using
men’s or women’s restrooms, use these multipurpose restrooms. Refer to the Barrier-Free
Map below for the locations of these restrooms across campus. Some people can only use
multipurpose restrooms, so be considerate when using these facilities.
The University is currently considering installing private all-gender restrooms in the
future.

2. Changing rooms
In the future, the university will be installing private changing rooms that can be used regardlessof gender. Some of multipurpose restrooms will also have changing tables, so if you havedifficulty using the conventional gender-segregated changing rooms, use these restrooms
instead. Some people can only use multipurpose restrooms, so please be considerate whenusing multipurpose restrooms for changing clothes.
Ⅴ. Response to Students
1. Name and gender information and their management
Concept: Since the University understands that revealing a person’s name or gender inthe official government family register can cause the person detriments, we will educate its
members to handle such personal information with care. In addition, the University will be-5-

flexible so that students can live their student lives under the name and gender of their choice.
Moreover, the University will reduce the number of occasions in which gender is mentioned,
as well as review our gender-segregated practices. In principle, the University will not requiregender information in name lists and documents unless it is essential. The University will
also omit gender information on certificates and other documents issued by the University
whenever possible.
Response: As a general rule, gender information provided on the student registry is disclosed
only to academic and student affairs faculty and staff, as well as department heads andacademic advisors. Faculty members in charge of academic and student affairs, department
heads, and academic advisors should be aware of the possibility that some students may
suffer various disadvantages if their names and genders appear in name lists and documents,and should handle the information in a strict manner to prevent it from being disclosed.
However, this does not apply to emergency cases such as accidents or incidents, and, insuch cases, we may disclose name and gender information to the necessary parties without
the person’s consent.
As a general rule, you are asked to exclude gender information from various name lists. If
there is a need to include gender information, manage it carefully, and discard it as soon as
it is no longer necessary.
(1) Change of name 
Use of preferred name: You can change your name on the student register to your preferredname (called an “alias” name, i.e., the name you prefer or wish to be known by) by following
the designated procedures.
Individual persons: If you wish to change your name in the student register to your preferredname for reasons such as gender dysphoria, etc., you may do so by following the designatedprocedure; in this case, consult with the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk.
The signature of a parent is not required, but you are required to explain this decision to yourparents as far as possible to avoid future problems or misunderstandings.
However, non-Japanese students need to be aware of the handling of immigration. For more
information, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk.
Note carefully!
By changing your name in the student register to your preferred name, all documents issued by the University
will have your preferred name. If you receive a salary, honorarium, etc., for work on campus, documents and pay
slips issued by the University will include your name as stated in your family register, and a “Certificate of Use ofPreferred Name” will be issued upon your request. If you are troubled by disadvantages because the name on a
document issued by the University differs from your name on the family register, you are responsible for dealing
with this situation yourself. If you have any concerns about procedures, consult with the Sexual and Diversity
Consultation Desk.

(2) Change of gender 
If you wish to change the gender in the student register due to gender dysphoria or otherreasons, you can change your gender by following the designated procedure; Consult with
the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk for more details. However, note thatthe medical record at the Health Service Center will keep the gender information shared at
the time of enrollment.
(3) Gender statement on certificates issued by the University and on documents submitted to
the University, etc. 
Individual persons: Even if the gender is, in principle, to be stated on a document, it may bepossible to leave it from the document if requested. In such a case, notify the office in chargeof issuing the document. If you have suffered a disadvantage due to the inclusion of yourgender in a list or document, report this to the entity that prepared the document, or consult
with the respective consultation office depending on the nature of the disadvantage you haveincurred.
The certificates issued by the University and documents to be submitted to the University that
do not have gender statements are as follows. (As of October 2022)• Certificates issued by the University
Diploma, degree certificate, academic transcript, confirmation of courses taken (credits),
certificate of expected graduation (completion), certificate of enrollment, health certificate,others• Documents to be submitted to the University
Application for the use of facilities for extracurricular activities, reports on training camps(with accommodations) and school trips, reports of lost and found items, reports of incidents,
accidents, and theft(4) Questionnaires, statistical surveys, and experiments 
Response: When creating a questionnaire/survey, always consider whether the gender
information is necessary. Even if your questionnaire or statistical survey needs to produce
a female-male ratio, you are recommended to include options such as “other” or “prefer not
to answer.” If you need subjects of a particular gender for an academic experiment, carefully
consider the need, and explain why it is academically necessary when calling for the subjects
or at the time of the experiment. When academically necessary, you are recommended tostate the “physical sex at birth” and then offer options including “male,” “female,” and “prefer
not to answer.”
2. Classes
Concept: All students, regardless of gender identity, are to be granted equal respect in theclasses offered by the University. The University will provide an environment in which students
are not excluded, do not have their dignity violated, and do not experience difficulty becauseof their gender identity.
Response: Class instructors should devise methods so as not to unnecessarily reveal a-7-

student’s gender in class. If there is a possibility that activities will be separated by gender,
this should be clearly stated in the syllabus in advance. Also, always consider the possibility
that there may be students who need consideration, and be as flexible as possible when astudent makes such a request. Discriminatory jokes, ridicule, or teasing related to gender
identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, or physical characteristics are never permitted
in class or during research guidance. For example, responses that assume heterosexuality(“Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?”), classes that assume heterosexuality, and statementsthat assume that it is only normal to have romantic feelings for the opposite sex, or that it isnatural and right to have romantic feelings, are not allowed. In addition, be careful not to ask
questions or give instructions that force individuals to disclose personal information.
Also, avoid assigning reports or exams that may be difficult or painful for LGBTQ+ students todeal with. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are protected on campus. However, even
if a person’s religion or beliefs do not allow them to tolerate homosexuality, transgenderism,
etc., they are not permitted to explicitly attack the University members who are LGBTQ+ or toact in a manner that does not respect their human rights.
Individual persons: If you are concerned about whether or not distinctions based on gender orother factors will be used in the classes you wish to take, check the syllabus before registering
for the class. Also, if you wish to request any special consideration or exemption, inform theSexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk or the instructor in charge of the class.
(1) Names and titles 
Concept: We recommend that all members, including class instructors, use unified titles suchas “-san” instead of gender-specific titles. This concept also applies to foreign language
classes.
Response: Class instructors are encouraged to use the same titles for all students as muchas possible. If a student has a preference for a name or title, accommodate their preference.
Individual persons: If you would like to request consideration regarding the handling of yourname and/or how you are addressed in class, inform the Sexuality and Gender Diversity
Consultation Desk or the instructor in charge of the class.
(2) Grouping by gender Concept: If there is no need to group by gender in a class, you are recommended to avoid
such grouping. Class instructors should first consider whether gender grouping is necessary
for an activity in that class and whether there is any other way to perform the activity. Ifgrouping by gender is necessary and there is a possibility to do so, this should be clearlystated in the syllabus or other materials in advance. Also, avoid asking students to pair up
with people of the opposite sex, or coloring seating charts by gender.
Individual persons: Students who are concerned about whether or not they will be grouped
according to gender in the classes they wish to take should check the information provided
in the syllabus before registering for the class. If you wish to request considerations, informthe Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk or the instructor in charge of the class.

(3) Sports exercise Concept: Sports exercise without gender-based grouping or the application of gender norms
or rules is recommended.
Response: Instructors should think about the possibility of conducting sports exercises without
being bound by conventional practices, such as grouping by gender or using gender norms
or rules. Also, unisex clothing and equipment for sports exercise should be encouraged. If
gender information is absolutely necessary, apply to the office in charge clearly stating thereason for which it is necessary. Also, clearly state in the syllabus that the class may include
gender component, such as grouping by gender, sports exercise, and/or practical training.
Individual persons: If you are concerned about grouping by gender for sports exercise,
clothing, equipment, changing rooms, overnight stay during intensive class, etc., check thesyllabus and other information before registering for the class. Also, consult with the Sexuality
and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk or the person in charge of the class as necessary.
There are multi-purpose restrooms shared by both men and women in Gymnasium 1 on the
Matsue Campus. The University will consider establishing more multipurpose restrooms
and installing private showers and changing rooms in another gymnasium in the future.
(4) Classes that involve changing clothes 
Response: If the changing of clothes is necessary for a class, clearly state this in the syllabus.
If there is a request to use separate changing rooms for men and women, be flexible andaccommodate the request by staggering the time, and having that person change in a
separate room.
Individual persons: If you find it difficult to change clothes in separate changing rooms formen and women, inform the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk or the class
instructor. The University will consider installing private changing rooms on the campus, withsome multipurpose restrooms that have changing tables. For the latest information on theavailability of changing rooms, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk.
(5) Handling of gender information and names in lists of registered students Concept: In principle, gender information is not disclosed to the course instructor in the listof registered students. As noted on pages 6 and 7 above, if you change your name or genderon the school register, all the lists of registered students will have the changed name or selfidentified gender. Academic and student affairs faculty and staff, as well as department heads
and academic advisors, will have access to the name and gender in the student’s official
government family register but will handle this information with care. However, in the case ofan emergency, such as an accident or incident, your name and gender information may bedisclosed to the necessary parties without your permission.
Response: Faculty members in charge of classes may ask the office in charge to disclose
gender if it is necessary for reasons such as ensuring educational effectiveness and securingsafety, but any such information should be discarded as soon as it is no longer necessary.
Academic and student affairs faculty and staff, as well as department heads and academic
advisors, should be aware that names and genders in the family register constitute personal
information that should be handled with care and not divulged.

Individual persons: If you would like to know more about the scope of the disclosure, including
to whom and for what reason(s) your name and gender are disclosed, contact the Sexuality
and Gender Diversity Desk.
3. Off-campus learning (teaching practice, internship, caregiver training/practice, etc.)
Concept: In off-campus learning, it may be difficult to change the policies and facilities of
the hosts. However, the University will make every effort to consult with students and staff incharge of these learning to gain the understanding of the hosts so that all students who wish
to do so, regardless of their sexuality and/or gender identity.
Response: The person in charge of off-campus learning should inform the host of the
University’s policy of respecting gender diversity and seek their understanding in order toavoid any issues or problems. In addition, if the person concerned requests consideration
regarding the handling of gender information, clothing, changing rooms, accommodation,etc., the person should consult with the host while also striving to be as flexible as possible.
Individual persons: Students who wish to seek consideration and understanding of their hosts
with regard to the handling of gender information, clothing, changing rooms, accommodation,etc. during off-campus learning should consult with the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Desk,or inform the person in charge of the off-campus learning in advance.
(1) Use of self-identified gender Concept: The University will be flexible in response to any student’s choice of whether theoff-campus learning will be conducted by considering the student’s self-identified gender orthe student’s gender as stated in the official government family register.
Response: If the person in charge of off-campus learning asks for advice on the gender touse, ask for the person’s wishes, and seek understanding from the host. Also, make sure thatthe gender information will not be disclosed to other people at the host in any way not desiredby the individual.
(2) Clothing and changing rooms Concept: The University does not necessarily request students to wear suits or other formal
clothing, as long as their clothing and attire are clean and respectable. This is because unisex
suits are rare, and the majority of suits are divided into two groups: either for men or for
women. Therefore, limiting students to only dress suits for off-campus learning will make it
difficult for some students to participate in such training.
Response: The person in charge of off-campus learning should inform the host of the
University’s policy that it respects gender and religious diversity and that clean and respectfulclothing is acceptable, even if the clothing is not standard attire such as dress suits andleather shoes. Another way to provide guidance on off-campus learning is to give examples of
acceptable attire. Never force women to wear makeup, heels, or skirts. If there are designateduniforms at the host, give as much consideration as possible to the student’s preferences,or ask the host if it is possible to change to a uniform that does not divide the students into
two groups based on traditional gender roles. Also, if the student has a request regarding achanging room, ask the host to make special considerations.
- 10 -

(3) Accommodations Concept: Most of the accommodations for off-campus learning provided by the University
have separate rooms and bathrooms for men and women. However, the University will be
flexible with students’ preferences.
Response: The person in charge of off-campus learning should consider the possibility thatsome students may have trouble with accommodations for off-campus learning due to theirgender identity; they should explore a variety of options and be flexible in responding toindividual requests. For example, students may be allowed to stay in the same room with theaccompanied person of their preferred gender or be given time to bathe individually.
4. Use of student dormitories
The University’s student dormitories consist of different types of rooms in three buildings. In
the fully private rooms with bathrooms, restrooms, and mini-kitchens in each room, students
are not assigned to a particular floor according to their gender. In the dormitories with privaterooms, shared showers, kitchens, and restrooms, students are allotted floors according totheir gender. Students will be assigned to the room of their choice based on availability. Make
sure you understand these points before deciding to move in. For more detailed information,
check the following webpage.
(Please also note that the period of permission to live in a dormitory is two years.)
https://kokusai.shimane-u.ac.jp/kaigairyugakusei/english/index.html#housing
For further inquiries, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Consultation Desk.
5. Medical checkups
Regular health checkups are conducted at separate times for men and women. However, if
requested, special consideration shall be given such as receiving the checkup alone at theend of the men’s time. Our response is notified in the health checkup notice. Auscultation by
the doctor can be performed over light clothing if requested. Also, an X-ray examination is
performed with a T-shirt on. Gender is not indicated in the medical checkup sheet, medical
questionnaire, or medical certificate. The medical record has the gender on the family register,
as stipulated in Article 24 of the Medical Practitioners Act.
6. Studying abroad
Concept: It is often difficult to change the policies and facilities of your destination. In
addition, there may be legal difficulties to use a different name or gender than that stated onyour passport at your destination. However, depending on the host institution, flexibility may
be possible. The University will provide consultation In the case of study abroad programs
introduced by the University. Students are also expected to have due consideration whenchoosing the destination.
Response: The person in charge of the study abroad program should, when requested by
students, inform the destination of the University’s policy of respecting gender diversity,
request flexibility in the living environment and study support system, and try to avoid causing
trouble or other misunderstandings.
Individual persons: It may not always be possible to meet your request, but if you would like- 11 -

support, consult with the contact person or office in charge of the study abroad program.
7. Job hunting
Concept: It is often difficult for a private company to change its policies and facilities. However,there are some companies that are more flexible. The University supports students in theirjob hunting so that each individual can demonstrate their abilities regardless of their sexuality
or gender identity. At the Career Center, counselors receive training on sexuality and gender
identity. They also collect information on LGBT-friendly companies. Academic advisors andCareer Center staff should make an effort to collect information to better understand theissues that sexual minority students face.
Ⅵ. Basic Knowledge about Sexuality and Gender Diversity
1. What is LGBTQ+?
LGBTQ+ is a collective term that includes a variety of gender identities, including lesbians (awoman who is attracted to women), gays (a man who is attracted to men), bisexuals (a person
who is attracted to both women and men), transgender (a person who identifies as a genderdifferent from the gender assigned to them at birth), and questioning/queer (a person who is
undecided, unsure, or unwilling to determine their gender identity or sexual orientation), as
well as other genders and sexual variants.
2. What is “ally”?
An “ally” is a term for people who are not LGBTQ+ but are willing to work with LGBTQ+
people to proactively address social issues related to LGBTQ+. To make the University a safe
and comfortable place for everyone, we can start by clearly identifying ourselves as “allies”(individually, an ally).
3. “Coming out”
(1) What is “coming out”? “Coming out” means to reveal a secret about yourself, something that you have never told
anyone else. For LGBTQ+ people, “coming out” often refers to telling people about theirsexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Coming out as an LGBTQ+ person can take a lot of courage, as discrimination and prejudiceagainst LGBTQ+ people are still rampant. Coming out is a decision one makes by themselves
and is never something that is forced or induced.
(2) When someone “comes out” For LGBTQ+, “coming out” means telling YOU about their gender identity and/or sexual
orientation; however, in most cases, this does not mean that the person desires the information
to be shared with others. Coming out entails many worries for the person who comes out.
They may ask themselves, “How will people around me react? Maybe they will reject or denyme. Maybe they will change their attitude or behavior toward me. Maybe the information will

- 12 -

be a burden in some way to them.”
What you can do when someone comes out to you is to listen carefully, thank him/her for
telling you and accept his/her emotions and feelings. If the person has any fears or problems,
think together with them. If a faculty member learns information about a student, it is important
to discuss with the student the extent to which it is necessary or appropriate to share thisinformation. When you share the information, while promising to never tell anyone else, ask
the person the reasons why they want to have this information told to a specific faculty or
department, etc.
Sometimes the person at the receiving end of somebody coming out experiences worries
and fears. In such cases, consult with the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Desk, so that they
can refer you to a professional specialist, such as clinical psychologist and psychiatrist who
is obliged to maintain confidentiality within the university.
(3) If you are worried about coming out 
If you are thinking to come out, contact the Health Service Center, or the Student Consultation
Room (SCR). They can simulate how and to whom you will come out, and talk with you about
what might happen at that time. They will think carefully about it together with you.
4. Prohibition of “outing”(1) What is “outing”? “Outing” is the divulging of sexual orientation or gender identity by a third party without aperson’s consent. Some people do not want such information to be disclosed. Sometimes
divulging can be one of the reasons for discrimination in our society. It will also make someone’s
life difficult. Never ask or try to find out, nor make assumptions based on appearance or
behavior. There are cases where a well-intentioned interaction, with no malicious intent on
your part, may end up leading to an outing.
(2) If you are outed (for LGBTQ+ persons) First, tell someone you trust about your situation. The Sexuality and Gender Diversity
Consultation Desks, as well as the Harassment Consultation, are available to help you.
Depending on the situation, police or judicial intervention may be required.
