TMK Article 40: A decision to change gender can be made under certain conditions.

Conditions

  • Above 18 years of age
  • Not being married
  • Transgender nature
  • Permanent deprivation of reproductive ability (disputed)

Process

  1. Civil court of first instance case
  2. Medical committee report (university hospital)
  3. Psychiatric evaluation
  4. Judge's permission
  5. Gender reassignment surgery
  6. Re-trial + population registration

AYM Approach

The Constitutional Court accepts that the "lack of reproductive ability" condition is disproportionate and constitutes interference with private life and should be abolished.

New Identity

  • The decision is notified to the civil registry office
  • Gender and name are updated
  • Renewal of all documents
