Community Image - Worldwide Gender Identity Recognition

98 (or 42.1%) of all countries around the world legally recognise gender identities


Intersex, transgender, agender, genderfluid, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and all the non-traditional gender identities are all groups within the LGBTQIA+ community that relate specifically to gender. Gender identity groups have historically been underrepresented; however, there have been positive developments over the past five years, and advocates have helped ensure that they gain greater exposure.


The LGBTQIA+ Gender Recognition index focuses on countries that legally recognise gender identities, the requirements required to obtain legal recognition such as sterilisation or reassignment surgery, and whether a government issues legal documentation

  ABOUT LGBTQIA+ GENDER IDENTITY RECOGNITION

Gayther Community - About Gender Identity
The global LGBTQIA+ community is comprised of many groups; however, it will typically fall into one of two main categories, sexuality or gender. From the various research and population estimates over the years, it is believed that the largest groups within the global community fall within the sexuality category. Gender identities, though typically smaller groups, have historically been underrepresented; however, this has been changing. With high profiled or well-known individuals coming out as transgender, genderfluid, inside or outside the gender spectrum, more mainstream media news services have showcased these lesser-known LGBTQIA+ groups.

Gender is made of two components, anatomy and definition. Anatomy is how someone is born, typically male, female or intersex. In contrast, a definition is what we learn about what it means to be male or female. Gender definitions are taught and will vary depending on the culture, society, traditions or history. As we grow up, we are being taught what it means to be a specific gender, resulting in some people not identifying with their gender or sex assigned at birth. Many instead identify as the opposite sex, shifting from masculine or feminine or not identifying as either gender. Once individuals become aware of their true identity, the challenge is to get society and governments to accept who they are through legal recognition.

Gender and how we identify are not only on official documentation or how people address us; but also in the words we use to describe people, objects, or possession. Most languages have masculine and feminine words, and possession is based on whether you identify as male or female. Even English gender titles feature a masculine influence, with male, men or man in female gender titles. The use of non-gendered pronouns helps people that cannot identify with a binary description of male or female, those that shift within the gender spectrum or those that feel gender pronouns do not represent them.

Over the past 50 years, and as the LGBTQIA+ community and gender identities have become better understood, more countries have created laws and protections designed to help people from non-traditional gender identities. Anti-discrimination legalisation ensures LGBTQIA+ individuals are not discriminated against and legal recognition for individuals who want to align their documentation to reflect their true identity. Gender recognition rules vary by country; however, countries typically recognise a change of gender when a person undergoes sterilisation or sex reassignment surgery.

  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Gayther Gender Recognition - Gender Recognition

Why is legal gender recognition so important?

People who are transgender or from a non-binary identity will often go through years of struggling, trying to come to terms with their true identity. Once they accept and begin the process of changing their lives, many will undergo medical procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. The procedures and processes are often at great personal expense to transform their outer appearance, reflecting their inner self. After all that work, struggle, and an altered external appearance, without legal recognition, many would have official documents, such as birth certificates, national ID cards, passports and driving licenses with their gender or sex assigned at birth and original name. When travelling or required to produce some form of identification, they are constantly reminded of their former self, which no longer represents or reflects who they have become. Legal recognition is more an indication of how any given nation treats people living in that country. The more open and accepting society is, the more they will likely have laws and protections to allow the legal change and definition within official documentation
Gayther Gender Recognition - Sterilisation & Reassignment

What does sterilisation and gender reassignment mean?

The term sterilisation is a medical procedure, both surgical and non-surgical, used on men and women to stop them from reproducing. For women, typically, the fallopian tubes, the tubes through which the fertilised egg passes, are tied or permanently removed to prevent a woman from getting pregnant. For men, typically, a vasectomy will be performed. The surgical procedure ties or cuts the tubes that carry semen, stopping the fertilisation process during intercourse. Gender reassignment is the term for the procedure used for individuals transitioning from male to female (MTF) or female to male (FTM). For MTF procedures, typically, the testicles are removed. The skin from the scrotum is used to make the labia, and tissue from the penis is used to make the neo-clitoris (an artificially created clitoris). For FTM, typically, they will undergo male chest reconstruction, the breasts are removed, a hysterectomy is carried out to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and lastly, the creation of a neo-penis (an artificially created penis) grafted from the patient’s arms, thigh, abdomen or back
Gayther Gender Recognition - Identities

What is the difference between transgender and other non-binary identities?

Transgender relates to individuals who do not identify with their sex or gender at birth. Typically, transgender individuals will identify and feel that they belong to the opposite sex to their sex or gender at birth. So effectively, a man identifies as a female or a female that identifies as male. Non-binary or genderfluid identities are different because some groups cannot identify as male or female. In contrast, others will shift between feminine and masculine, and others will identify off or somewhere within the gender spectrum. Simply put, transgender individuals identify with the gender opposite to their own. In contrast, no single gender defines non-binary people

WHAT ARE YOUR PREFERRED PRONOUNS?

For many people that are transitioning or those that identify with gender-fluid identities, pronouns and how they are addressed become important.

  UPDATE FREQUENCY

Gayther Community - Updates
To keep up to date, we will typically update all of our community indices in the first quarter of every year (before March) to keep a consistent position. Should a landmark event occur, we would endeavour to change all relevant indices as quickly as possible.

When reviewing data, it is crucial to understand what it represents, whether it reflects the world and the experience of all those affected. Changes within any given country or region are not restricted to a specific month of the year or even are automatically triggered. Change, especially concerning equality, gender recognition, same-sex marriages and the status of gay conversion therapy, often takes work. Typically by many large groups of dedicated and focused individuals advocating and fighting for justice for positive change within their local communities.

The indices have been created to help you understand the world around you; however, engaging with your global community is essential. It is vital, especially if you are familiar with your desired destination. By reaching out and communicating with other members of the LGBTQIA+ community, you can establish critical details. It only takes a small amount of effort in locating people from or those who have already visited your particular destination for advice. Engaging on social media and Gayther’s networking platform, Gayther Affinity, can help you connect with the global LGBTQIA+ community.
