882 people received Gender Recognition Certificates over the past 7 years

882 transgender people in Ireland officially changed their gender in less than seven years.

They received Gender Recognition Certificates from the Department of Social Protection between 2015 and 2021.

Carolyn Ann Willis, who lives in Co Leitrim, got her gender changed to female in 2017, having been born male.

She says it's too easy to get a cert.
