Trans Win Right to Self-Identify in Ireland
Transgender adults in Ireland will no longer need to find a psychiatrist or endocrinologist to testify on their behalf before seeing their gender legally recognized, reports The Journal. Instead, a transgender Irish citizen can simply self-declare their identity to update a passport, change the gender marker on a driver’s license, obtain a new birth certificate, or get married.
The upside of getting this “marriage equality” thing out of the way is that it makes legal gender changes a heck of a lot less complicated:
The government has also dropped another questionable element of the bill that would have forced trans people who are already married to get divorced in order to have their gender marker changed and for their transition to be officially recognized by the government.
Huge wins for equality in Ireland this month!
