(I don't like how they discuss the issue, the language and terms they use etc., but it's the news that is good, rather than the reporting...)
This follows just a few months after Ireland legalised same-sex unions. Trans people can already get both a passport and driver's licence in their preferred name and gender. Now we just have to wait until the government legislates on sex-reassignment (birth certs etc) which they said they will do soon.
What's next? Same-sex marriage and adoption? Roll on the good times! Fantastic news coming from a country than only decriminalised homosexuality in 1993.
