    Is Sex Change Legal in the Philippines?

    The Clerical Error Law of 2001 (RA 9048) makes it illegal for transgender persons in the
    Philippines to change their sex in their birth certificates. The said law specifically states that
    “no correction must involve the change of nationality, age, status or sex of the petitioner”
    without a judicial order.
    In conclusion, the Supreme Court ruled that a person's first name and sex cannot be
    changed on the ground of sex reassignment or sex alteration or sex change because there is
    no law allowing such.
    What are the risks or complications of gender
    affirmation surgery?
    Different procedures carry different risks. For example, individuals who have bottom
    surgery may have changes to their sexual sensation, or trouble with bladder emptying. In
    general, significant complications are rare, as long as an experienced surgeon is performing
    the procedure.

    With any surgery, there is a small risk of complications, including:


    Bleeding.
    Infection.
    Side effects of anesthesia.
