I compliment Mr. Giambrone on a very fine presentation. It highlights the huge effects that the lack of legal gender recognition presents for young people under 18 years of age. The Government is expressing its willingness to consider lowering the age of legal recognition to 16 years with parental consent. Would he still have a concern regarding people under the age of 16 years and how might that be addressed?
