Summary
The legal aspects of a change of social gender role are important, if for no other reason than the law matters a lot. Sadly in some countries, there is no possibility of a change of legal gender; indeed, there can be appalling prohibitions against it. In others, there is a very limited and onerous set of options. Consequently this chapter will focus upon the UK legal system, as a discussion of all of the varied global legislation associated with gender would be a book in its own right, although interested readers may wish to read the excellent work of the International Lesbian Gay Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA.org) for further detail on this.
