The Gender Recognition Bill is a proposed Thai law to allow people to choose their gender title and provide a gender neutral option for those choosing not to identify as male or female.[1][2]

Following the passage of the landmark Marriage Equality Act, which went into effect in January 2025, civil society groups have urged the government to pass the Gender Recognition Bill.[1][3][4] Marriages between transgender and intersex individuals performed under the Marriage Equality Act can feature gender titles to do not match their gender identities.[1]
