  Transgender people in Vietnam will be recognized under the law and have all relevant rights to their new gender, according to the Amended Civil Code passed by lawmakers on Tuesday.

  Earlier on the same day, the National Assembly’s Standing Committee submitted a report on the issue, saying that gender reassignment should be allowed to “meet the demand of a group of citizens.”
  The report discussed a range of issues including marital status and healthcare services for transgender people.

  Nearly 90 percent of the assembly then voted in support for legalizing gender reassignment.
