edited by Notdog1996. People in the reports seemed confused. Fixed the description to make it clearer. If no laws are in place to make it possible, then it's illegal.

- Status is not correct "If there is no law, wouldn't that make it ambiguous? "
- Status is not correct "As it's said in description, there's no recognisement of gender changes, but also there's no laws against gender reasignment. Considering that, it shouldn't be marked as "illegal", but as "unrecognized" or any similar category."
- Newer law has been passed "idk"
- Status is not correct "This says no law is in place but also says illegal. If no law is in place against it it cant be illegal. "
- Status is not correct "The description says it’s not ilegal, but the status says it’s ilegal "
