    Just to prove the variations of individual Member states, trans related laws or Gender Recognition Acts  .

     

    Southern Ireland has no GRA.

    Various others states, insist that Trans women must be steralised before they can be officially recognised in their new gender.

    Some states insist that applicants for recognition must undergo Gender reasignment surgery, so to claim that the EHRC is all encompacing is a misnomer, and relies upon each individual country member following their own trans related laws laws. where a member country has a gender recognition act, it was ratified by the Commisioner for Human rights in Strasbourg, so in my opinion laws for individual states have been agreed, but some of those do contravene other sections of the European charter for human rights., eg, enforced medical procdures.
