whether a person charged with a sexual offence should be able to obtain a gender recognition certificate
As of September 2015, Trans people in Ireland have been able to have their preferred gender legally recognised by the state in the Gender Recognition Act of 2015. Some countries around the world use a medical model for changing to their preferred gender, whereas others, like Ireland use self-ID. This is where a person can pick their preferred gender and be automatically issued a gender recognition certificate.
