| Description | In Belgium, the federal anti-discrimination legislation explicitly includes "gender identity" and "gender expression" as protected characteristics. Because public restrooms, changing areas, and commercial facilities are classified under the legal umbrella of "goods and services available to the public," any attempt to bar someone based on their gender identity constitutes illegal discrimination. |
