An Irish trans woman who spent nearly two decades suing the Irish government for her right to gender recognition has been awarded a European honour.

Dr Lydia Foy spent over 17 years in the court system arguing for her right to gender recognition in the Republic of Ireland – which until this year did not recognise trans people at all.
