South Korea’s Supreme Court ruled yesterday transsexuals who have had medical treatment such as sex change operations can legally change their sex in their family registry, a crucial legal document for citizens.

The court said its decision should help transsexuals become better accepted members of society.

The family registry and unique personal identification numbers associated with it form the basis of almost all aspects of South Koreans’ lives, from getting a job, claiming medical insurance, and even subscribing to a mobile phone service.
