Transgendered people can now officially apply for a certificate to recognise their acquired gender.
It's after Ireland's new laws on gender recognition took full effect today.
Under the Gender Recognition Act, anyone can apply to the Department of Social Protection looking to have their acquired gender recognised by law.
Broden Giambrone of the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland has paid tribute to the campaigners who made the law a reality:
Dr Lydia Foy fought a lengthy court case to have her new gender recognised.
She says today is a historic day.
