The Czech Constitutional Court declared the law mandating sterilization and sex organ surgeries for transgender people as 'unconstitutional' and a 'violation of human dignity'. The court ruled in favor of a trans man seeking gender marker change without surgery.
Global restrictions on gender-affirming care stem from outdated beliefs; requiring surgery originated in Sweden's prejudiced views. Permanent sterilization involves the removal of ovaries in trans men or testes in trans women.
Few patients regret gender-affirming surgeries, challenging claims used to restrict such care. The U.S.-based Alliance Defending Freedom has backed legal requirements for trans-related sterilization and surgery in Europe.
The Czech court's decision requires parliament to revise laws by 2025. New requirements like expert medical opinions or waiting periods may replace surgical mandates, offering more inclusive options for transgender individuals.
