"Marla-Svenja Liebich, 54, was until recently a man who went by the name of Sven. Liebich was a high-profile figure in eastern Germany's right-wing extremist scene for decades and used to be a member of the banned Blood and Honour group, according to German media reports. He also ran a business that sold products online that are popular with xenophobic groups, including a baseball bat with the slogan "deportation assistant"."
"In 2022 he disrupted an LGBTQ pride parade in the city of Halle, calling the participants "parasites on society", according to activists. But in late 2024, Liebich took advantage of a new law in Germany to make it easier for people to change their legal gender, registering a new identity as a woman. The move meant Liebich was due to be sent to a women's prison after being sentenced to 18 months for offences including incitement to racial hatred and slander."

In late 2024 Liebich legally registered as a woman under a new law easing gender changes and was sentenced to 18 months for offences including incitement to racial hatred and slander. Liebich failed to report to JVA Chemnitz, posted "Love from Moscow", and supporters were told the person left for another country. The gender change and new appearance were widely seen as mocking the Self-Determination Act.
