A transgender woman has officially entered a civil partnership with her female partner in Ireland. The registration ceremony, which took place some time ago, amounts to legal recognition of the woman's acquired gender because the Civil Partnership Act requires that civil partners must be legally of the same sex. We will refer to the woman as Maria.

The Civil Registration Service officially recognised Maria as female even though the Government has not yet introduced legislation to legally recognise transgender persons.
