Gender Identity Law
A Gender Identity Law recognizes an individual's right to define and express their gender identity, regardless of biological sex at birth. It typically allows people to change their legal gender markers on identification documents and protects against discrimination based on gender identity. The law affirms that gender is a personal and social aspect of identity, promoting dignity and equality. This legislation aims to ensure that transgender and gender non-conforming people can access rights, services, and protections consistent with their gender identity, fostering a more inclusive society.
