Ryan Castellucci is challenging the UK government's refusal to recognize their non-binary gender identity at the European Court of Human Rights. Castellucci was denied an 'X' gender marker on official documents after applying under the Gender Recognition Act. The Gender Recognition Panel acknowledged Castellucci met the criteria for a gender recognition certificate but still refused the marker. Following a failed legal challenge at the High Court, Castellucci's team plans to argue that this refusal violates their rights under Article Eight of the European Convention of Human Rights.
Ryan has been pursuing legal recognition of their gender for three years. If successful, this could set a valuable precedent for non-binary people looking to secure legal recognition of their gender.
Castellucci's legal team have vowed to file a challenge at the ECHR under Article Eight of the European Convention of Human Rights, claiming that a refusal to acknowledge Castellucci's identity was a violation of their right to respect for private and family life.
