“Poland currently has, I would say, the most complicated gender recognition process in Europe.”

A bill which regulates legal gender recognition in Poland, is now in the parliament. The new law was prepared by MP Anna Grodzka, together with the Trans-Fuzja foundation, which aims to support the Polish transgender community.
This week we speak to President of the Trans-Fuzja foundation Wiktor Dynarski, about the bill and legal aspects of being a transsexual person in Poland.
Wiktor Dynarski explains that at present, in order to legally recognize someone’s gender, the person has to sue his or her parents in a civil court case. The new bill would change the procedure.
“This would be what it should be, the process between the person and the state,” he stresses.
Next week we will cover the social aspects of transsexualism in Poland.
