TGEU welcomes Amnesty International’s call for Quick, Transparent and Accessible Gender Recognition Procedures
Transgender Europe welcomes the report The state decides who I am: lack of legal recognition for transgender people in Europe, launched by Amnesty International.
The human rights organization criticizes that European countries violate the human rights of those people trying to alter their legal gender. It details how transgender people are forced to undergo invasive surgery, sterilization, hormone therapy, psychiatric testing before they can change their legal status, and how in Ireland no procedure exists at all.
