MGRM coordinator Gabi Calleja said the bill is intended to address this reality and facilitate the inclusion of transgender people into society.
Labour MP Evarist Bartolo will present a private member's bill for a Gender Identity Act drafted by the Malta Gay Rights Movement.
The Labour MP will be presenting a bill drafted by the Malta Gay Rights Movement, which said that according to the EU fundamental rights agency's latest annual report, transgender people in Malta and Europe face "a high degree of stigmatisation, exclusion and violence."
MGRM coordinator Gabi Calleja said the bill is intended to address this reality and facilitate the inclusion of transgender people into society.
Dr Neil Falzon, formerly of the UNHCR office, who drafted the law, said the bill calls for allowing transgender people the right to have their gender recognised by a court of law, even without having to undergo any gender reassignment surgery.
The bill also proposes a secret register of transgender people, so that the Act itself does not incur legal or administrative burdens.
