Only seven of 22 European countries allow name and gender changes in civil registration without requiring medical validation, according to data cited in the article. This means that the majority of European countries still require some form of monitoring or validation for citizens to make these changes to their official documents.
In the specific case of Luxembourg, children under five can change gender, provided they obtain judicial authorization. This approach contrasts with that of other countries which impose higher age restrictions or more stringent conditions for minors.
The article addresses projects presented by right-wing parties related to gender identity, comparing their proposals with existing practices in different European countries. This analysis allows us to understand how different European nations regulate the matter of gender changes in civil registries.
The comparison between right-wing projects and European legislation shows that some proposals approach the more liberal practices existing on the continent, while others depart significantly from these same practices, remaining closer to more restrictive models.
