| 520 | |a"In 1985, the Netherlands was among the first European nations to adopt legislation granting transgender people legal recognition of their gender identity, albeit under onerous legal conditions. Over a quarter of a century later, the Netherlands has lost its leading edge. Legislation that at the time represented a progressive development is wholly out of step with current best practice and understandings of the Netherlands' obligations under international human rights law. Most egregiously, the 1985 law allows transgender people to change their gender on official documents only on condition that they have altered their bodies through hormones and surgery, and that they are permanently and irreversibly infertile. These requirements routinely leave transgender people with identity documents that do not match their deeply felt gender identity, resulting in frequent public humiliation, vulnerability to discrimination, and great difficulty finding or holding a job. The conditions imposed by the 1985 law violate transgender people's rights to personal autonomy and physical integrity and deny transgender people the freedom to define their own gender identity, which the European Court of Human Rights has called "one of the most basic essentials of self-determination." Controlling Bodies, Denying Identities documents the impact the 1985 law has on the daily life of transgender people. The report calls upon the Netherlands to amend the law to respect transgender people's human rights. It should separate medical and legal questions for transgender people. Legal recognition of the gender identity of transgender people should not be made conditional on any form of medical intervention"--P. [4] of cover. |
