| 題目 | CONSULTATION PAPER: PART 1 GENDER RECOGNITION |
| 日期 | 201706 |
| 簡介 | There are people in society who have the feeling that they were born into the wrong body. Through services provided by the Hospital Authority, there are a range of treatment options available in Hong Kong for people having gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria. As well as emotional and physical issues, people with gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria might face complex social and legal issues. They may want to keep their birth gender private and be legally recognised in their new gender for all purposes. In May 2013, the CFA ruled in W’s case that a transsexual person who had undergone full SRS should be entitled to marry a person of the sex opposite to his or her reassigned gender. In response, the Government established the Inter-departmental Working Group on Gender Recognition (“IWG”) on 13 January 2014 to follow up on the said observations of the CFA. For the avoidance of doubt, it should be noted from the outset that same-sex marriage or civil partnership is outside the scope of the IWG’s study. |
