Summary/Abstract: The article examines the legal regulation of sex in Bulgarian legislation as well as the jurisprudence on the criteria under which sex change is allowed. Among the prerequisites for sex change are analyzed: the establishment of a lasting contradiction between civil and psychological sex/gender, the existence of a serious and unwavering desire for change of the sex/gender and lack of mental illness and abuse. The key decisions in Bulgarian case law since 2000 are presented.
