| Description | The regulation adopted in 1999 is now obsolete, but no new regulation has been adopted. As a result, the current practice of gender recognition and the provision of medical services in relation to gender transition no longer corresponds to the Regulation. For example, genetic testing is no longer required. The Commission, which started its work in February 2022, has confirmed that the determination of chromosomal sex by a geneticist is not medically justified, that compulsory genetic testing is unethical and that this requirement has been abandoned. |
