admin, , , ,

Elinor Höke hates going to the doctor’s. The transgender student is registered under her former name, and dreads hearing it shouted across the crowded waiting room at her local clinic in western Germany. “It’s what my insurance card says, but being called ‘Mr. Höke’ is weird for everyone and also degrading for me,” the 22-year-old said in a video call from the city of Bochum. Like many trans Germans, Höke hopes the government will fulfill its promise to pass a self-ID law this year that would make it easier to…

Trans inmates “with male genitalia” to be banned from women’s prisons

admin, , , ,

The UK government has announced that it will no longer place trans women “with male genitalia” in women’s prisons “unless there are exceptional circumstances”. The reforms will also prevent trans women who have been convicted of a sexual offence being placed in said facilities. “This will create a strong presumption, but allow for exemptions to be considered by Ministers on a case-by-case basis – though only the most truly exceptional cases will be considered,” the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) wrote in a statement on 25 January. “We will be publishing…

Trans migrants in Britain could face increased harassment and discrimination if the government proceeds with plans to stop recognising legal gender change documents from some other countries, LGBTQ+ rights activists said.

Cianán Russell, a senior policy officer at Brussels-based pan-European LGBTQ+ group ILGA-Europe, said the lives and safety of trans people were “being used as a political…
