Summary

This book is based on an expert opinion for the German constitutional court, where the constitutionality of the requirement of German nationality for legal recognition of a gender change in Germany was challenged. The authors conclude, that the provisions in the German law on transsexuals not only violate the German constitution, but also the European Convention on Human Rights.
