European Court Ruling Challenges Gender Requirements in Train Ticket Purchases

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled against the French railway company SNCF’s requirement for passengers to choose between ‘Mr.’ or ‘Ms.’ when purchasing tickets, stating such a policy is not necessary and contributes to the exclusion of intersex and non-binary individuals. The ruling, prompted by advocacy from the LGBT+ rights group Mousse, is seen as a historic decision for minority rights in the EU, although it does not directly resolve the ongoing legal dispute.
