Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Recalls that the principle of equal treatment for men and women cannot be confined to the prohibition of discrimination based on a person’s given sex, and that it also applies to discrimination arising from the person’s gender identity; recalls that the CJEU has interpreted sex discrimination within the principle of equal treatment as encompassing transgender persons who undergone medical transition, yet notes that no such judgements were issued concerning non-binary or intersex persons, questioning the utility and capacity of EU non-discrimination legislation for the large trans population in Europe who cannot or will not access gender affirmation healthcare or for intersex persons; recalls that such individuals will be without remedy if they suffer discrimination compared to those who have physically altered their bodies; recalls the need for EU anti- discrimination to go beyond the gender binary and recognise gender discrimination; calls on the Commission to come up with a legislative proposal that avoid any risk of legal uncertainty in this matter;
