Reports (4)
- Status is not correct "On International Transgender Day of Visibility 2020 Hungary's parliament submitted a bill to amend the definition of sex to match sex at birth, making it impossible for individuals to change their legal gender. While it is technically illegal to discriminate against people based on gender identity that law is rarely, if ever taken seriously.
https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/05/21/hungary-ends-legal-recognition-transgender-and-intersex-people"
- Status is not correct "Status is illegal. Curently there's a law in Hungary that prohibits intersex and transgender people from changing their gender on documents and by this banning medical tradition "
- Status is not correct "Changing the gender in official papers is prohibited as per the constitution. (I think since 2020)"
- Status is not correct "Legal gender recognition is clearly banned, trans and intersex people cannot change their name and gender marker in official documents since 2020. The fact that they are protected against dismissal, refusal of services, violence etc. does not change this."
Revision by Notdog1996. It is not ambiguous. It is just plainly illegal.
