November marks Trans Awareness Month. We launched our Legal Gender Recognition campaign, followed by a webinar held on November 14, 2023. We invite you to explore the inspiring stories of individuals who have successfully changed their legally recognized gender marker to align with their self-identified gender identity, all without the need for harmful medical intervention or diagnosis. Dive deeper into our interactive map, showcasing the countries at the forefront of legal gender recognition based on self-determination. Together, let's champion the rights of trans individuals and pave the way for a more inclusive future.
