II.   Life

Sex change, also known as “gender reassignment treatment” is a term used to define medical procedures used by transgendered people to formalize their preferred genitalia, or such procedures undertaken for infants suffering hermaphrodite qualities.

Excepting exceptional cases, all individuals are borne either male or female by virtue of their reproductive and sexual organs.

Where an infant is born with both male and female sexual organs, it shall be the right of medical staff at the time to choose which sexual organs that are less formed shall be removed without harm to the child in order to resolve a definitive sex for the child. Where such action is taken, medical staff shall be immune from any liability or future claim. In all such cases, medical staff are required to register such corrective surgeries on the confidential file of the child.

A free individual having achieved the age of majority of their community, who is not in military service, may make an application for a change of gender medical procedure to the opposite sex.

Upon making such a formal application, the same individual may apply for a determination as to whether they were born with both sexual organs. If in such a case, it is found that an individual had been born with both sexual organs, the individual making the change of gender medical procedure has a right to claim for part government subsidy for the operation.

Every individual who has successfully undergone medical treatments and surgical operations involving a structural modification of the sexual organs intended to change his secondary sexual characteristics may have the designation of sex which appears on their certificate of live birth and, if necessary, their given names changed.

An individual who has only undergone partial medical treatment, yet has not completed medical procedures and temporarily possesses the sexual organs of both sexes shall be considered their original sex prior to the commencement of medical procedures until procedures are completed.
