      French here, „no restrictions“ is false.

      Among other things, they literally ask you to provide testimonies of people outside your inner circle (e.g your baker, butcher, whatever) certifying that they always considered you passing as your chosen gender to them.

      Iran… Do they still give it to gay men and women?  They used to be fine with paying for sex changes for gay people, and criminal penalties for those who don’t accept the offer.

      Could we get a breakdown of countries like United States, Australia, and other countries wherein it varies by region

      Idk why it was never a default option in America, the fact that it’s **your** gender should make how you identify nobody’s business but yours. It’s like peak ‚freedom‘.

      (And yeah I know *why*, pointing to severe sexism and fuckass religious influence, but secular America really should’ve doubled down on the ‚it’s my business‘ thing regarding it.)

      Germany should be blue, the SBGG/Self-Determination Act already took effect in 2024

      And there are actually no restrictions in Germany as opposed to other countries that shouldn’t be blue on the map

      What does illegal mean? They will deny the change or will they punish you for asking?

      India just passed an extremely regressive law that has basically outlawed self determination of gender. Trans people now need surgery and approval by the government appointed medical board to legally change their gender.

      Is this accurate? Iran, India, Indonesia, and Egypt having it be legal at all is interesting to me. Pakistan having no restriction blows my mind.

      Both my Drivers License and US Passport have sex marker, neither have gender. What US IDs is this referencing that has ‘gender’?

      Fun fact: Poland used to require trans people to sue their parents in order to change their gender (that’s obviously not the fun part). However, that requirement was removed a little over a year ago thanks to the intervention of one of the top right-wing opposition members, Zbigniew Ziobro, who correctly pointed out that it’s stupid. The Supreme Court agreed with him, and now trans people just have to file an application and send in documents etc.

      We also had the third openly trans MP in the entire world (elected in 2011!), and the only one in the world at the time.

      Well, you see, almost every country is „requires medical diagnosis“ at least. There are countries like Germany and Spain where you can self-identify, but other than that, it’s always a medical diagnosis first.

      Some of the „requires surgery“ actually require person to undergo sterilisation. So-called „bottom surgery“ is almost always a sterilising one, but not every sterilisation procedure is a bottom surgery.

      Then there are countries we don’t really know about. For example, North Korea: chances are, there are trans people living in NK who do transition and at some point ask court to change their documents. And while laws there probably don’t specify the procedure explicitly, a court can probably change someone’s legal gender in a specific case. Again, we don’t know for sure, so NK probably should be orange on the map.

      If I am being correct, Bulgaria is another country where there is no legal framework, but it’s not explicitly outlawed, although take that one with a grain of salt.
