Watch CineCalidad. Annika Samuelsen lives in the Faroe Islands and is transgender. She is in the process of correcting her physical sex but this is a long and often very demanding process, that would be made a little easier, if she were able to legally change her gender while she waited. In the Faroe Islands, you are not legally allowed to change your gender before you've changed your physical sex, even if you are receiving treatment where sex correction surgery is the desired end result.
