Israel allows transgender people to remove previous name from identity documents
Israel's Interior Ministry amended ID regulations to allow transgender people who have undergone gender reassignment to remove their previous name, or 'dead name,' from their identity documents. The change followed a High Court petition by a transgender woman arguing that retaining the previous name violated privacy by outing individuals. The court stated there is no longer a legal reason to keep the former name on ID cards if requested. The amendment is seen as a step toward equal rights for the trans community.
