- Status is not correct "" leading me to believe that the Turkish government does not permit transgender individua" expressing an opinion should not be seen as some sort of fact."
- Status is not correct "Completely incorrect, I don't know the exact date but I know for a fact that if a person applies to the court and have their application approved, they can have gender reassignment surgery and change their legal identity. This has been so even in 2000 and probably before that. Turkish singer Bülent Ersoy is a big example of that. The thing about discrimination is true though."
- Status is not correct
