| Description | There are no legal means to change one’s gender in Palestine. The Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank do not permit for it and in practice, trans Palestinians in the Israeli occupied territories have no access, unlike trans Israelis, as a result of movement restrictions and general disregard for Palestinian human rights. |
