“The Ordo Iuris Institute has joined a case against Bulgaria before the European Court of Human Rights as amicus curiae, defending the right of member states to define legal sex according to biological criteria.
1 – A “transsexual” woman has lodged a complaint against Bulgaria with the European Court of Human Rights because the state refuses to recognize her as a man.
2 – The Ordo Iuris Institute is intervening in the case as amicus curiae. In its legal opinion, it argues that member states have the right to define sex according to biological criteria.
3 –In its case law to date, the Court has held that states must afford so-called transsexual persons the possibility of changing their legal sex, but may make this conditional on the fulfillment of certain requirements. A “transsexual” woman has lodged a complaint against Bulgaria with the European Court of Human Rights over the impossibility of being recorded in the civil status records as a man. The applicant claims that this violates her right to respect for private and family life.”
That’s from an interesting report at Tsarizm, found at this link.
Getting a sex change can create new problems, rather than solving a transgender person’s problems.
Transgender medical procedures have serious consequences. 95% of young transgender people on testosterone develop pelvic floor dysfunction; most have bowel issues and sexual dysfunction. As the Telegraph reported, “Around 87 per cent…had urinary symptoms such as incontinence, frequent toilet visits and bed-wetting, while 74 per cent had bowel issues including constipation or being unable to hold stools or wind in. Some 53 per cent suffered from sexual dysfunction…Almost half had an ‘orgasm disorder’, while a quarter suffered from pain during sexual intercourse.”
Transgender treatments can lead to a lifetime of pain, discomfort, and medications. As Britain’s National Health Service explains, hormones “need to be taken for the rest of your life, even if you have gender surgery.” An FDA official who supported giving minors puberty blockers conceded that they actually increase suicidality. Indeed, the “FDA knew ‘gender affirming’ puberty blockers increase ‘suicidality’ in 2017,” reported Just the News.
Even the transgender lawyer who challenged Tennessee’s restrictions on transgender treatments for kids admitted to the Supreme Court that “completed suicide is thankfully and admittedly rare” among transgender youth, even those not given gender-affirming treatment, and that “there is no evidence…that this [transgender-affirming] treatment reduces completed suicide.” The ACLU’s Chase Strangio admitted that to the Supreme Court.
Yet doctors who did sex changes often falsely told parents that they needed to give their kids a sex change to keep them from committing suicide, even though this isn’t true. One of America’s most prominent gender doctors, “Dr. Olson-Kennedy disclosed to how she speaks with parents of gender dysphoric patients: ‘We often ask parents, “Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’”
