OK $[blur fuck fuck fuck fucking fuck]. For the past several years, Dutch courts have been granting people's requests to be registered with gender marker "X" based on a principle of preempting legislation: it looked like proper legislation was in preparation but judges thought it inhumane to let people wait for that. Turns out a Dutch provincial court has now stalled someone's request to get gender marker "X" to ask the Hoge Raad (High Council, basically the highest court in the Netherlands) whether they should still be doing that because "considering shifting political and public opinion, it no longer looks like such legislation may be forthcoming." It looks like currently, all over the Netherlands, non-binary people in the process of requesting their "X" are seeing their name change awarded, but their gender marker change to "X" held until the High Council rules on the issue. #non-binary #nonbinary #TransRights
