Ireland introduced self-ID for legal gender recognition in 2015 – the same system we’ve endlessly told will lead to a “wave” of people changing their gender.

The latest figures have been published and show that from September 2015 to 2021, the total number of people who changed their gender legally was just 882. The male/female split was close to equal, with a narrow majority of people changing their legal gender to female.

882 people over six years in a country of over 5 million people? Some “wave”.
