Lebanon court allows transgender woman to change gender in civil status records
A Lebanese judge ruled to allow a transgender woman to change her gender in her civil status records, citing a 2016 appeals court decision. The ruling, filed in April and published in July, may still be appealed. The woman had undergone gender-affirming surgery in Thailand and obtained a medical report proving gender dysphoria. The judge noted that the decision was criticized by some clerics but argued that legal gender change remains within restrictions due to the difficulty of surgery.
