'The new rules allow minors 14 years and older to change their name and legal gender ... if (parents) don’t agree, teenagers could ask a family court to overrule them.' Approval of new law by parliament still required.
German Family Minister Lisa Paus said a new law easing the path for individuals to officially change their gender had been approved by the Cabinet on Wednesday, hailing it as “a big moment” for transgender and intersex people.
Under current rules, individuals must submit two psychological reports to change the entries with a district court making the final decision. People who have gone through the process have complained that it is lengthy, costly and humiliating. The reform would also prevent a person’s previous gender from being revealed against their will, under the threat of a fine.While the German law itself does not ban ‘deadnaming’ or ‘misgendering,’ it apparently makes it a criminal offense to in some cases to mention a person’s previous gender or name. There is reportedly a heavy fine for ‘researching’ someone’s gender history without their consent.
