Lydia Annice Foy is an Irish trans woman notable for leading legal challenges regarding gender recognition in Ireland. In 1992, Foy had sex reassignment surgery, and began a 20-year battle to have her birth certificate reflect her gender identity. In 2007, the High Court ruled that the relevant portions of the Irish law were incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. By February 2013, the law had not been changed and she began new proceedings to enforce the 2007 decision. The Gender Recognition Act 2015 allowed for the recognition of change of gender and provided for gender recognition certificates.
