Apply for asylum in the UK or elsewhere.
I’m not sure, tbh. I think that only applies to baby names, but I’ll be sure and check later when I’m home
Thank you!
So I looked it up and I have to update my statement before.
First, one can also just have their gender entry outright deleted.
Secondly, naming conventions are the same as for baby names:
Generally, first names have to correspond to the new gender entry:
- Who chooses the male gender can use a name or names that are purely male ore both male and female.
- Who chooses the female gender can use a name or names that are purely female or both female and male.
- And who chooses the gender „diverse“or to delete their gender entry has free choice among male and female names
- For all genders, the chosen names have to be actual first names.
(Source translation by me because I was too stupid to realize there’s an English version)
Unfortunately, despite the actual progress this law certainly demonstrates, it also shows there’s still both a binary way to think about gender and certain expectations linked to gender well seated in the minds of lawmakers. Nonetheless, it’s a lot better than what we had before.
