Transgender people in Hong Kong should be allowed to change their gender on their government-issued ID without undergoing sex reassignment surgery, the city’s top court ruled on Monday.
Trans people who legally changed their names and physical appearance could previously update their identity cards, but Hong Kong’s civil registry refused to change the gender marker for those who hadn’t had sex reassignment surgery.
