DescriptionIt is unclear if transgender Turks are permitted to change their legal gender identity. Trangender women face a lot of societal barriers including transphobic violence leading me to believe that the Turkish government does not permit transgender individua

  • 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
  • Status is not correct "It's unambiguously legal to change official sex, though an operation is necessary. Discrimination for trans people is a different matter."
  • Status is not correct "Following on previous note, surgery is necessary for legal sex change. Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BClent_Ersoy"
  • Status is not correct "Legal since 1988. Current law permits legal change to sex provided: over 18, not currently married, has received counselling"
  • Status is not correct "Stigma aside, there are known individuals, some of which are celebrities who have legally changed their gender"
  • Status is not correct "It is legal "
  • Status is not correct "As a turkish man i can say that the doctors operate lots of transgender surgeries."
