Right to change legal gender: Varies by Region from Jul 1, 2017 to now.
Legal, but surgery requirements vary by region. Most states don't allow you to change your gender marker more than once in a 12-month period. The High Court of Australia has ruled that gender reassignment surgery does not need to be comprehensive, just be socially identifiable as your preferred gender. • Any government department that operates at a federal level does not require surgery. • In NSW a gender marker change requires GRS, top surgery, or orchiectomy. • In Queensland gender change requires an application confirming surgery or proof of reassignment surgery. • In South Australia no surgery is required, only proof of psychological counseling. • In Tasmania no surgery is required, they may require proof of psychological counseling for persons under 18. • In Victoria no surgery is required, you just have to attest you are the gender you claim. • In Western Australia surgery is not required. • In Northern Territory clinical treatment, either: surgery, hormone therapy, or counselling is required.

Right to change legal gender: Legal, surgery not required from Jan 28, 2011 to now.
The German Federal Constitutional Court found in the decision 1 BvR 3295/07 that several provisions of the Transsexuals Act were unconstitutional. The court ruled that the Transsexuals Act massively violated transgender people in their dignity (Art. 1 Basic Law), in their right to free development of personality (Art. 2, § 1), their right to physical integrity (Art. 2, § 2) as well as their rights as married couples to enjoy the special protection of the state (Art. 6, § 1). This has also been criticized in regard to the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. In order to change the first names and gender entry, two psychological evaluations, which are generally paid for privately, as well as a court order are required. In 2017, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSJ) commissioned the Humboldt University in Berlin to prepare an expert opinion on the "need for regulation and reform for transgender people". It found that the current assessment procedure is in many cases characterized by disproportionate time and expense as well as degrading and discriminatory experiences and violates the fundamental rights of the applicants. The non-governmental organization Deutsche Gesellschaft für Transidentität und Intersexualität e.V. (dgti) issues a supplemental ID card which contains one's self-chosen first names, pronouns and gender before a legal name change has taken place. It is known and accepted by German ministries, the police, and many authorities. The supplemental ID card is often a condition to correct one's name at, among others, schools, universities, banks and insurance companies. In five German states, references to the ID have been included in coronavirus ordinances and associated explanations to recognize it as an identification document, e.g., together with vaccination certificates. It has a special status of recognition in Germany. The legal basis of the supplemental ID card is the implementation of the request of the European Parliament, communicated in the 11th legislative period of the German parliament.
