People aged 16 and 17 are able to change their legal gender in Scotland now. Should we do this in Ireland too? You can also apply after 3 months instead of 2 years.

Maybe someone else has a good reason not to, but I don’t see why the concept of legal gender even exists. I’d say get rid of it and just let people identify as whatever they please regardless of age.
If its just on paper and they can identify as whatever gender they feel comfortable with, then yes. If it involves surgery and hormone treatment, then no. They can wait the other 2 years for life altering surgery, 18 is the minimum age for a lot of heavy life decisions.
if it gets me cheaper car insurance i’m all for this change i’m not informed enough to have an opinion on
I have a feeling i will regret opening this thread, but yeah there’s no harm in a legal change
I don’t see much upside. Plenty of potential for abuse though.
Got blocked under another thread, to the person asking me what I think of FGM – It’s irreprehensible but what has that got to do with trans people?
No, 18 to make any decision like this.
Fuck no, that’s the dumbest shit I ever heard of.
