No. Nor is there a law that requires a person to identify whether they are male or female. When a person changes his/her gender both medically and legally, "she" is no longer a "he" and is legally now a woman (or vice versa). The person's medical history -- having gender reassignment surgery, for example -- is no one's business. One reason a gender-reassigned individual tends to NOT tell is because of the harsh judgment and criticism s/he will recieve as a result of the disclosure. The fact is, though, that "gender confusion" is a legitimate medical condition, and the only accepted treatment for it is "gender reassignment". As we advance in society and learn more about genetics, we better understand the excrutiating pain and suffering that someone with gender confusion disorder has to endure. Just as we would not condemn a person who is born with any other disorder, we hope that others will not condemn a person who is born with gender confusion.
