Greece's parliament has approved a new law that will make it easier for people to change their legal gender.
Citizens over the age of 15 will now be able to change their gender with a court ruling and without requiring a medical operation.
LGBT activists said the new law was an improvement, but criticised it for not doing enough to establish "full self-determination" for transgender people.

In response, Prime Minister Tsipras said: "Absolutely no tradition, no perception of family calls for people to be sidelined or tossed aside into a social and institutional abyss."
