EU court rules member states must allow gender changes on ID documents to protect transgender rights and free movement.
The European Court of Justice ruled that EU laws prohibit member states from denying gender changes on identity documents, stating such restrictions hinder transgender individuals' rights to free movement and equal treatment.

The court affirmed that national laws must align with EU principles, ensuring identity documents reflect a person’s lived gender identity.
