HOW TO MAKE GENDER CHANGE?
The path to be followed by a person who wants to change their gender is included in Article 40 of Law No. 4721. As explained in the aforementioned article, a person who wants to change his/her gender can request permission from the court to change his/her gender, either personally or by applying through a lawyer. However, in order for the permission to be granted, the applicant must have completed the age of eighteen and must not be married; In addition, it is obligatory to document that he is transsexual and that gender reassignment is inevitable in terms of mental health and that he is constantly deprived of reproductive ability, with an official health board report to be obtained from a training and research hospital.
If it is confirmed by the official health board report that a sex reassignment surgery has been performed in accordance with the purpose and medical methods, depending on the permission to be obtained, the court decides to make the necessary correction in the population record.
It is obvious that it will be important for citizens to follow up these cases through lawyers in order to follow up the case at these stages and to conclude quickly the second lawsuit that needs to be filed for changing the population registration after the sex reassignment surgery.
