The study reveals that, in the context of Indonesian positive law, there are no specific regulations governing gender change, although related provisions such as Law No. 24/2013 on Population Administration exist. Among the three decisions analyzed, namely Decision Number : 112/Pdt.P/2022/PN Blb, Decision Number : 315/Pdt.P/2021/PN.JKT.Utr and Decision Number : 195/Pdt.P/2021/PN.JKT.UTR, most applications were based on discomfort with biological conditions, with one case linked to medical issues. Juducal considerations in granting these request varied, where Decision Number : 112/Pdt.P/2022/PN Blb emphasized medical and religious aspects, while the other two decisions did not explicitly consider religious values in their rulings.
