Re­con­cil­ing Gender Iden­tity and Legal Status in Cross-Border Family Re­la­tions

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Lucia Ir­ines­cu’s art­icle in CUADERNOS DE DERECHO TRANSNACION­AL ad­dresses the cross-border family-law ques­tions raised by the legal re­cog­ni­tion of gender iden­tity. It fo­cuses on the ef­fects of sex change and the re­cog­ni­tion of a new legal status on the con­tinu­ity of mar­it­al status and on fi­li­ation, and on the ten­sions these situ­ations create in a European space marked by le­gis­lat­ive di­versity and free move­ment, par­tic­u­larly in re­la­tion to mutual re­cog­ni­tion, pri­vacy and non-discrimination.
