Abstract

Ensuring that all transgender individuals have the ability and conditions to undergo gender transition, as well as obtaining the corresponding rights and obligations after transitioning, is a key and important focus of the Draft Law on Gender Transition currently being developed. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze and evaluate the conditions for gender transition in this draft law, while also considering the international context of depathologization and respect for self-determination to propose appropriate legal recommendations. This ensures that all transgender individuals can transition and fully enjoy the rights related to their gender after transitioning. Based on this, the article analyzes and clarifies the following aspects: (i) an overview of the right to gender transition, (ii) conditions for gender transition in the Draft Law on Gender Transition in Vietnam, and (iii) evaluations and recommendations.

Keywords: Gender transition, Draft Law on Gender Transition, right to gender transition, transgender.
