In a recent public debate, members of the LHB association, representing homosexual and bisexual men and women, voiced strong opposition against the proposed gender reassignment legislation, arguing that it lacks scientific foundation and fails to protect vulnerable groups, especially young individuals exploring their sexuality.

They criticize the bill for endorsing an ideologically driven, affirmative approach in transgender care that overlooks the necessity for a differential diagnosis, potentially misguiding individuals into believing that changing their legal gender will resolve their issues.

The association urges lawmakers to reconsider the bill, warning that its underlying ideas may soon become outdated and embarrassing.

They highlight the significant changes made to the law since 1972, including the removal of the sterilization requirement in 2013, and challenge the notion that gender identity should solely determine one's legal gender without thorough examination.
