Lydia Foy was born male in the Republic of Ireland on 23 June 1947. After marrying and fathering two children, she had sex reassignment surgery and began a 12 year legal battle to assert her identity as a woman on her birth certificate. This resulted in a declaration that the Law of the Republic of Ireland was incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.
