* Many countries require transgender people to do things that are difficult, impossible, or a violation of their human rights in order to change their [[legal gender]] markers. Many countries require transgender people to be sterilized in order to change their legal gender. Using coercion to sterilize a minority group is part of a human rights violation called eugenics, meant to get rid of that group. Many countries require transgender people to give proof they have had certain kinds of physical transition or surgery in order to change their legal gender. For many transgender people, that kind of physical transition isn't what they want for their body, or isn't possible for them to have enough money for. Nonbinary people don't necessarily want a kind of physical transition that would satisfy these requirements, which were made to make transgender people conform to [[binary]] [[cisgender]] ideals. Any person should be allowed to change their legal gender markers without any requirements for physical transition or sterilization. | * Many countries require transgender people to do things that are difficult, impossible, or a violation of their human rights in order to change their [[legal gender]] markers.

* Transgender people who want to have a legal or physical transition need to get a [[therapist's letter]] in order to have permission to do much of it. However, many therapists aren't willing to give one to nonbinary people, only to binary transgender people. Nonbinary people should be able to get a therapist's letter with no more difficulty than a binary transgender person. | * Transgender people who want to have a legal or physical transition need to get a [[therapist's letter]] in order to have permission to do much of it.

* Health insurance often covers none or only part of the medical transition of a transgender person. It should cover nearly all. Gender-validating procedures should be given recognition as necessary, not "cosmetic". | * Health insurance often covers none or only part of the medical transition of a transgender person.
