LONDON — The European Union’s top court ruled Friday that member states must recognize legal changes to gender identity processed elsewhere within the E.U., in a case with far-reaching implications for transgender people across Europe.
The European Court of Justice sided with Arian Mirzarafie-Ahi, a transgender man who sued his home country of Romania for refusing to accept the name and gender identity changes he initiated in Britain when it was still a member of the E.U.
The court agreed that Romania violated his rights to citizenship and free movement by refusing to update his Romanian identity documents.
“It is really quite amazing,” Mirzarafie-Ahi told The Washington Post in an interview. The 32-year-old, who lives in Cambridge, England, and works as a science tutor, is hopeful he can return to Romania with new identity documents.
I’m sure this will lead to calm discourse from the likes of Hungary and Poland…

Allow medical institutions to profit off your bodies and be a forever patient.
Eat ultra process foods to enrich profits of corporations.
Be fat and take ozempic. Big pharma isn’t wealthy enough.

Genuine question: why does the EU tolerate these countries not accepting human rights, not accepting refugees and so on, when it’s precisely these countries that need the EU more than the EU needs them?

Ah yes, and then people in the Brussels EU bubble wonder why more and more people have negative views of the EU with every passing year.

They tell you to accept other peoples cultures… and then when the culture doesn’t align with yours you say do this or else. Ok
