Micheál Martin wants trans 16 and 17 year olds to have the right to legally change their gender with parental consent.

, An Taoiseach said that it should be made easier for people aged 16 and 17 to legally change their gender:

“It’s not there in today’s society. Certainly I’m supportive of and we want to deliver on the Programme for Government’s commitment on [self-ID at] 16 and 17.” At the time, the bill’s passage through the Oireachtas was hailed as an “historic moment” by Sara Phillips, the chair of Transgender Equality Network Ireland:

“Trans people should be the experts of our own gender identity. Self-determination is at the core of our human rights.”
