year = {2021},
note = {The issue of recognising the effects of gender affirmation is a
controversial subject that the European Court of Human Rights often
faces as a result of States’ reluctance in addressing such matter.
This paper analyses the recent judgment of the European Court in the
case of X and Y v. Romania, in which, by unanimously declaring the
requirement of mandatory surgery for gender affirmation as contrary to
Article 8 ECHR, the Court significantly increases the protection and
autonomy of transgender people and takes an extremely important and
positive step forward in respect to transgender rights in Europe.},
