The New Zealand (NZ) government has passed a law that will allow people to change the sex recorded on their birth certificates to match their self-identified gender without the need for gender reassignment treatment or surgery. But a women’s rights group has successfully put a dent in the law to ensure that some protections for women remain.
NZ Internal Affairs Minister Jan Tinetti said it was a “proud” day for the country after the parliament voted “in favour of inclusivity and against discrimination,” The Guardian reported.
