Allegation letter regarding the legal gender recognition procedure in Ukraine, as specified in Order No. 60 of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine

- Mandatory in-patient psychiatric evaluation of 30 to 45 days in an individual’s region of residence to confirm or reject a diagnosis of ‘transsexualism’;
- A requirement that the person seeking legal gender recognition not be married or have biological children under 18;
- Coerced sterilization (see details below);
- Numerous medical tests, which often require extensive time commitment, expense, and travel, and that are unrelated to Ukraine’s legal gender recognition procedure;
- Evaluation by the State Evaluation Commission to confirm the diagnosis of ‘transsexualism’ and authorize the change in legal documents;
- Observation by a sexologist for a period of one year to determine degree of “social adaptation.”
