Una sa lahat, sa Pilipinas, hindi ipinagbabawal ang pagpapalit ng kasarian. wala pang batas that makes it illegal.

Pangalawa, sa Pilipinas, ang marriage ay defined as between a man and a woman. So, hindi pa recognized ang same-sex marriage sa Pilipinas.

Pero ang pinaka-mahalaga, sa Pilipinas, bawal ang palitan ang kasarian sa birth certificate unless ito ay clerical error or typographical error.

Ito ang link sa text ng kaso kung saan denied ng Supreme Court ang petition ng isang transgender na papalitan ang kanyang kasarian sa kanyang birth certificate.

http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2007/october2007/174689.htm

The Supreme Court ruled: a person's first name cannot be changed on the ground of sex reassignment and no law allows the change of entry in the birth certificate as to sex on the ground of sex reassignment.

Basahin mo itong case na ito. Kasi, ito ay tamang-tama sa facts ng case mo. Good luck sa iyo.
