Lydia Foy’s gender fight ‘to be acknowledged as equal’

Transgender rights activist, Lydia Foy, who fought a long legal battle for recognition of her female gender, said it is all about being acknowledged as an equal citizen.

“It was a long struggle but it was worth it knowing that future generations won’t experience the same struggle I did,” she said.

The Free Legal Aid Centre (Flac) has published a report of Ms Foy’s fight for justice and the struggle for transgender rights in Ireland.
