The new policy of change gender mark on a hong kong citizen's ID card is changed, but it is not totally unconditionally, and it is still conditionally.
"Under the newly revised Policy, in general, if a person who has not completed full SRS is able to show, together with relevant medical proof and supporting documents, that he or she has completed the following surgical treatment and satisfies all of the following criteria and requirements, the Commissioner of Registration (i.e. the Director of Immigration) (Commissioner) will consider the application for a change of sex entry on the Hong Kong identity card having regard to the particular circumstances of the case:
(a) The applicant has completed surgical treatment for the purpose of modifying sexual characteristics:
(i) for sex change from female to male: removal of the breasts (bilateral mastectomy);
(ii) for sex change from male to female: removal of the penis and testes; and
(b) The applicant satisfies the Commissioner that all of the following conditions are met and makes a statutory declaration to confirm he or she:
(i) has or had gender dysphoria;
(ii) has lived in the opposite sex, throughout the period of at least two years ending with the date on which the application is made;
(iii) will continue to live in the opposite sex for the rest of his or her life;
(iv) has been undergoing hormonal treatment of the opposite sex throughout the period of at least two years continuously before the date on which the application is made; and
(v) will continue to undergo continuous hormonal treatment of the opposite sex and submit blood test report(s) as requested by the Commissioner for random checking of his or her hormonal profile. "
