In 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘰𝘷, the European Court of Justice is asked to determine the extent of trans citizens' gender recognition rights under EU law. ALINA TRYFONIDOU defends Advocate General de la Tour's opinion in the case. verfassungsblog.de/ag-opinion-shipov

Quote from Alina Tryfonidou's blog post: “The Advocate General appears to adopt a 'safe' route. While he safeguards the effective exercise of free movement rights, he does so with the least possible intrusion into national competences.”
