- Date is incorrect "Hi team,
This amendment was passed in 2022 and allows individuals to freely specify their gender markers without authority, etc. However this amendment (also allowing trans people to change their gender without SRS) will only come into effect this coming 24 June 2024. It is still in a murky middle ground as the law is on the books but uncommenced (to-date)."
