This is the reason why trust in the European project, the EU, its institutions and courts is steadily eroding. Who would have thought that “free movement” across Europe, or rather the EU, would be abused and backfire like this? The latest ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) on legal sex change recognition is out and is being celebrated by transactivist NGOs as a big win, with claims that EU countries must now provide legal sex change recognition for their citizens who have moved abroad. The case brought before the court concerned a Bulgarian trans-identified man who had moved to Italy. In its press release about the judgment, there is reference to “a person’s lived gender identity” and its discrepancy with the “legal gender data” on ID documents. Judgments like this are a serious threat to democracy, the rule of law and the European institutions, which for decades have been led into increasingly extreme ideology and obediently follow along, fed by transactivist NGOs, queer academics, liberal media and “progressive” politics. The political implementation of gender identity (each person’s deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, as per the Yogyakarta Principles), by overriding any reference to biological reality and falsifying legal documents, leads to a fundamental erosion of women’s rights and legal protections. All transactivist celebrations aside, this judgment does not mean that legal sex change systems must now exist across the EU. Member States still have significant discretion in how they implement it (e.g. introducing a clarifying civil-status certificate for identification purposes, without rewriting birth certificates or restructuring civil registers). It is shocking that we ever got into this situation. But it is long overdue that we organise across Europe to call out the institutional irresponsibility and the expanding harms of the push for gender identity. https://t.co/nRmyEDtOZc
