DescriptionThe 2018 Medical Liability Law explicitly prohibits "gender change surgeries", which criminalise gender affirming care for trans people in Jordan with a penalty of 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour for surgeons who provide it.

The law points out a difference between gender change and gender reassignment, which is used for intersex people based on endosexnormative norms of correction and is legal.
