Joint statement: Landmark CJEU ruling demands Member States to ensure legal gender recognition to guarantee freedom of movement

Today’s judgment by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) says all member states must provide for legal gender recognition procedures allowing their citizens who have exercised their right to move and reside freely in another member state to obtain identity documents matching their lived gender.

Today, the CJEU delivered its ruling in the case C-43/24 Shipova, marking a historic step forward for trans people’s rights across the EU.

The Court stated that under EU law provisions on freedom of movement and fundamental right to private and family life, member states have an obligation to legally recognise the lived gender of their nationals who have exercised their right to move and reside in another member state in their civil status registers; i.e. they must have a functioning process for legal gender recognition (‘LGR’) in place. This is because, as the Court confirmed, identity documents and passports are key for EU nationals to enjoy freedom of movement, so in order to avoid “considerable inconveniences” in particular during identity checks or cross-border travel or in professional settings. Therefore, member states must provide identity documents and civil registry entries matching the person’s lived gender. The Court also recalled that tolerating discrimination against trans persons breaches their dignity and freedom. It also decided that national courts are not bound by supreme court’s decisions that run contrary to today’s judgment and EU law.

Damn ghouls itching to make themselves the genital police.

If this amendment passes it would effectively negate the Gender Recognition Act for official records.

"To take #equality seriously, we must accept that rights matter in relation to both #sex and #gender, though not necessarily in the same contexts. We must accept, too, that we need to defend rights for all individuals, whether they define themselves by sex or gender."

Did the Supreme Court not think to ask those who wrote the Equality Act what they meant?

"A former civil servant ... Melanie Field, who oversaw [the Equality Act's] drafting and passage through Westminster in 2010, said the legislation was meant to give transgender people with gender recognition certificates (GRCs) the same legal status as biological men or women."
