Gender Recongnition

I thought some of you would like to know this, Some information from the UK, Transexuals will be allowed to legally change their recorded gender. This may affect their National Insurance Contributions. The Gender Recognition Act comes into force from April 2005 and allows transexuals to apply to have their acquired gender legally recognised. If the application is successful a gender Recognition Certificate will be issued. The Certificate is a legal document. It gives the date from which the person is to be legally recognised in their acquired gender. This date will be used to consider any rights and responsibilities that are associated with that acquired gender.
Employers given a Gender Recognition Certificate must recognise the person in their acquired gender, and where necessary adjust their National Insurance Contributions liability.
