Gender Recognition Panel

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gender Recognition Panel is a tribunal in the United Kingdom dealing with transsexual and transgender concerns and allowing people to change their legal gender. It was founded to satisfy the Gender Recognition Act 2004, which legislates its decision-making process.

It issues gender recognition certificates for people who "live in another gender".[1] Only lawyers, medical practitioners or psychologists may be appointed to the panel.[2]
