Photos featured in the report To Be Who I Am Where significant gaps were identified, focus groups and targeted forums were convened. The Inquiry report was drafted and distributed for comment. All contributions were considered for the final report. Some of the Inquiry material was translated into te reo Māori and Samoan for consultation purposes. Recommendations The Inquiry made five overall recommendations, with a series of actions related to each recommendation, making 21 in total. The Inquiry report also identified the lead actor/s for each action and who should participate in achieving them. These recommendations included: 1. Enable effective participation of transgender people in decisions that affect them 2. Reduce discrimination and marginalisation experienced by transgender people by: a. clarifying that protections from sex discrimination in the Human Rights Act also included discrimination based on gender identity b. recognising that this required policies and practices to be inclusive of transgender people, whatever their sex or gender identity c. the Commission, together with transgender people, developing a human rights education programme to address human rights and discrimination issues for transgender people. 3. Improve transgender people’s access to public health services and developing treatment pathways and standards of care for gender-affirming services 4. Simplify the requirements for changing sex details on a birth certificate, a passport and other documents to ensure consistency with the Human Rights Act 5. Consider the specific human rights issues facing intersex people. Follow-up From 2008 until June 2011, the Commission prioritised supporting implementation of the Inquiry’s recommendations. Initiatives led by the Commission were very successful, including its public education programme and human rights training for transgender community members. Two government agencies simplified the processes for amending details on passports and driver licences, based on a person’s self-defined gender, and including a third, non-binary option. Where action required changes to laws or government funding, however, less progress was seen. Case studies | 95
