European Parliament services have released an internal note, detailing transgender people’s rights in the EU Member States.

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs had requested a briefing on transgender rights. The briefing note details the situation of transgender people in the European Union based on legal sources, institutional documents and non-governmental sources. It includes a section on EU-wide anti-discrimination measures, gender reassignment procedures throughout the European Union, access to health care, freedom of movement and asylum issues, as well as the legal and social situation for transgender people in Turkey and Croatia.

The note includes a copy of the first European Parliament resolution on transgender rights dated 1989, and concludes with an exhaustive annex listing legal specificities in each Member State.
