"Europe's parliament has agreed to a resolution declaring that trans women are women. The resolution, adopted last week, made a host of recommendations for the EU to pursue at the 70th annual UN Commission on the Status of Women, which is set to take place next month. Among the recommendations was a proclamation emphasising the "importance of the full recognition of trans women as women, noting that their inclusion is essential for the effectiveness of any gender-equality and anti-violence policies"."
"Other proclamations referencing LGBTQ+ people included the need for a "comprehensive tool to monitor and counter democratic backsliding and backsliding in women's rights", as well as the acknowledgement of a rise in attacks against LGBTQ+ and women's rights activists. The array of recommendations were adopted in a 340-141 vote, with 68 abstentions, according to LGBTQ+ Nation. While most European Parliament resolutions aren't legally binding, their passage typically marks significant influence within EU member states."
Europe's parliament adopted a resolution declaring that trans women are women and recommended EU positions for the 70th UN Commission on the Status of Women. The resolution called for full recognition of trans women to ensure effective gender-equality and anti-violence policies. It also urged a comprehensive tool to monitor democratic and women's-rights backsliding and acknowledged rising attacks against LGBTQ+ and women's-rights activists. The recommendations passed by 340–141 with 68 abstentions. While not legally binding, European Parliament resolutions carry influence across EU member states and contrast with recent restrictive measures in countries like Hungary and shifts in US and UK policy.
