Abstract

Equality and non-discrimination are two of the most important foundational values of the European Union. But a rapidly evolving society means that their practical application has to be constantly under review to assess if their content and objectives are being fulfilled. When it comes to the rights of the LGBTIQ community – here in particular of trans when compared with cis women – there is still a long way to go to effectively safeguard them, while reasonably protecting all involved. Terminological confusion around the concepts of “sex” and “gender” has served to justify the curtailment of the fight for equality and non-discrimination, and relegate trans women to a position of second-class citizens. The EU needs to review its approach to this particular issue and enshrine into law the concepts of “sex” and “gender” as a way to continue to push forward in its fight for LGBTIQ rights, doing justice to its moniker of “rainbow Europe”.

欧盟的跨性别者权利——“性”与“性别”在通往平等与非歧视的道路上
平等和不歧视是欧洲联盟两个最重要的基本价值观。但是,一个迅速发展的社会意味着必须不断审查它们的实际应用,以评估它们的内容和目标是否得到实现。当涉及到LGBTIQ群体的权利时,特别是与顺性女性相比的跨性别者的权利,要有效地保护他们,同时合理地保护所有参与者,还有很长的路要走。围绕“性”(sex)和“性别”(gender)概念的术语混淆,为削弱争取平等和不歧视的斗争提供了理由,并将跨性别女性贬为二等公民。欧盟需要重新审视其处理这一特殊问题的方式,并将“性”和“性别”的概念写入法律,作为继续推进LGBTIQ权利斗争的一种方式,为其“彩虹欧洲”的绰号伸张正义。
