A huge victory for trans people's rights in the European Union: the European Court of Justice ruled today that EU member states are not allowed to refuse a legal gender change obtained in another member state, and that all member states must recognize a gender change obtained anywhere in the EU.

“The Court emphasised that the refusal to acknowledge changes of forename and gender acquired in another Member State is contrary to the fundamental rights of EU citizens.”
