"Excerpt: Dress codes based solely on gender stereotypes restrict both
freedom of expression and personal autonomy, Human Rights Watch said.
The only known targets of the new Kuwaiti law have been transgender
people – individuals born into one gender who deeply identify
themselves with another. Kuwait allows transgender people neither to
change their legal identity to match the gender in which they live,
nor to adapt their physical appearance through gender reassignment
surgery."
