Czech transgender citizens were required to be sterilised and undergo gender-affirming surgery, a law deemed a 'violation of human dignity' and changed to a medical diagnosis requirement.
Alexandra Tomanová, a trans woman in Czechia, expressed her trauma after being sterilised for a gender marker change, describing it as not a real choice due to societal pressures.
Tomanová praised the decision to repeal the law, stating it will offer a simpler path for trans individuals and feeling thankful for the change.
Transgender Europe advocates highlighted the ongoing issue of forced sterilisation in some European countries, calling for broader awareness and change.
