Pembahasan dilakukan melalui studi kasus pada penetapan pengadilan Nomor 17/Pdt.P/2015/PN.Kbm sebagai acuan untuk mengetahui bahwa penetapan yang dikeluarkan hakim terhadap pergantian kelamin seseorang apakah telah sah atau tidak. Tipe penelitian ini adalah deskriptif dengan bentuk penelitian yuridisnormatif. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan operasi pergantian kelamin di Indonesia adalah sah (legal) selama individu menderita Disorder of Sexual Developmet (DSD), maka pelaksanaan operasi pergantian kelamin Apriandika dalam penetapan pengadilan Nomor 17/Pdt.P/2015/PN.Kbm. menjadi berjenis kelamin perempuan adalah sah secara hukum karena Apriandika menderita DSD, kemudian mengenai pertanggungjawaban tim dokter telah terlaksana secara disiplin profesi, dan tidak diperlukannya tanggung jawab hukum karena tidak ada kesalahan/kelalaian/pelanggaran yang terjadi terhadap Apriandika, sehingga penetapan pergantian kelamin Apriandika adalah sah, walaupun Hakim dalam pertimbangan hukumnya perlu untuk mengelaborasi dari sisi Undang-Undang lainnya selain dari Undang-Undang Administrasi Kependudukan. Untuk saran dari hasil penelitian ini diperlukan adanya pengaturan yang jelas mengenai tahapan, kategori pasien, dan pengecualian untuk operasi pergantian kelamin di Indonesia, dan untuk peraturan yang sudah ada diperlukan adanya pembaharuan.
