People who change their gender are set to have greater rights in Britain.
The government said Dec. 10 it will introduce legislation allowing transsexuals to revise the gender listed on their birth certificates and then marry someone of the opposite sex.
The moves are a response to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of a British transsexual bus driver who wanted to be legally recognized as a woman in order to obtain her retirement pension at an earlier age.
British women can get their pensions at age 60 while men must wait till age 65.
