In practice, however, courts consider these factors as necessary requirements for granting gender confirmation approval, and this has led to criticism that international standards are not being upheld, as transgender individuals’ rights to bodily integrity and self-determination are being infringed upon. Regarding the Guidelines, the Commission extensively sought input from various stakeholders, including Supreme Court officials, individuals with experience in gender correction trials, constitutional law professors, medical professionals, and others regarding their insights and trial experiences in gender correction cases, international human rights standards, and medical perspectives. Based on these inputs, the Commission is currently reviewing policy recommendations for relevant authorities to establish reasonable and human rights-oriented criteria for gender correction permissions. 89 Part 3 | Key Activities etc. of Gender Change Approval of Transgender, as the basis for judgment.
