Norway Introduces Legal Gender Self-Determination

Norway's Legal Gender Amendment Act came into force, allowing any citizen over 16 to change their legal gender by electronic notification to the National Population Register without psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, or medical intervention. Children aged 6-16 may change their legal gender with parental consent. Within one month, 190 people had applied. The law replaced a system requiring surgery and psychiatric certification.
