The 22-year-old female, was born and registered as man, but has undergone hormone treatment and complete the operation to change his biological sex, but he says he suffers a vast amount of daily embarrassment because the prefix on his official documents identifies him as a man.

Currently in Lithuania it is not possible for transsexual people to change gender related records. The ability to change name is very limited. It is possible to change a person's name from gender related to neutral, but only for unmarried people. Although the basic right to change sex is described in Lithuanian civil code article 2.27, this article is not considered in force because no law governing sex change exists.
