Should children under the age of 16 be allowed self-declare their gender?

Children under the age of 16 would be able to legally change their gender under plans being discussed by Fine Gael.

A Fine Gael policy paper drafted for the government formation talks recommends changing laws to allow all children change their gender.

Under current legislation in Ireland, only those over the age of 18 can legally do so.

Children aged 16 and 17 can apply to the courts to have their gender changed if they have parental consent and medical approval.

However, in the report drafted by Fine Gael's LGBT committee, it is recommended that these children should be free to legally self-declare their own gender.
