Protect the transgender community by abolishing the anti-trans law in Hungary


Protect the transgender community by abolishing the anti-trans law in Hungary
The Issue
“The Hungarian parliament has voted to strip transgender people of their current rights to legally change their gender. The new law defines gender on the basis of chromosomes at birth, ending the legal recognition of transgender people. Prime minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party backed the proposed legislation, which is yet to be signed into law by President János Áder. The decision would push back the progress that has been made when it comes to transgender equality, leaving transgender people open to further discrimination.” - Euro news (1st June 2020)
The result of this law being passed is that no Hungarian citizen will be able to legally change their gender. Those that already have are vulnerable to potential discrimination upon document-checking.
*NOTE THAT THIS LAW HAS PASSED AFTER GRANTING TRANS RIGHTS IN 2018*
