Yes first politic hurdle taken in The Netherlands

[Guest Claire-G]

I'ts a direct google translation so bit silly English.

to make a long story short no more SRS needed in future aprox from 4-1-2014.

Just had to pass the upper parliament now but that not suppose to a big problem.

Gender at a simpler Act EPA adjustment added:

Tuesday 2 April 2013, 23: 00 it is easier for people to change their gender on their birth certificate.

In parliament the proposals during a debate agreed upon by State Secretary Teeven.

Men who feel woman, or women who man feel, will be able to change their birth certificate faster, without the intervention of a judge

.From now on, should only have an expert the conviction of the man or woman.

The condition that the transgender surgery or hormone treatment has had lapses.

Converting the genus in the birth certificate also works by in travel documents and diplomas.

Yaay! I just saw it on the news too
It will still need to pass the senate, but the parties that are likely be against are way to small to stop that from happening.
This will prevent a lot of awkward situations like when your asked for your ID-card or train pass.

Today, Tuesday 9 april, the House of representatives adopted the trans genderwet.

In this law, the rules for changing sex in the birth certificate.

That can be with a statement by experts thanks to the Bill through the registry office.

Now the House agreement is going to the Senate the Bill.
