| Region | Timor-Leste |
| Issue | Right to change legal gender |
| Status | Legal, but requires surgery |
| Start Date | Dec 7, 1975 |
| End Date | May 19, 2002 |
| Description | When Timor-Leste was invaded by Indonesia in 1975, it was annexed with the same laws as Indonesia which allowed legal gender recognition after surgery. However, it is unlikely this was achievable in practice due to the brutal occupation of the region. |
