Good news for our trans friends:
The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.
To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.

... Amd then 4 years later they declare all those passports invalid like in the US?
Not good enough. Delete the category, gender does not belong on ID documents.
Just have check boxes for which sex related organs you have.
Check all that apply
- [ ] Ovaries
- [ ] Uterus
- [ ] Testicles
- [ ] Prostate
- [ ] Penis
- [ ] Vagina
Edit:
This was intended as sarcasm. I apologize for not indicating such. I was trying to push this to its illogical extreme because the truth is they will never be satisfied until non-conforming people are eliminated, one way or another.
sorry, I added a clarifying edit. It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.
