In Switzerland, a recent court case underscores the deep concerns some parents have regarding their children’s ability to change their gender legally without parental consent. Since 2022, minors aged 16 and older can change their gender and name in official records without needing parental approval. The case involves Genf parents contesting their 17-year-old child’s transition, raising issues about medical interventions and children’s rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Experts emphasize the importance of addressing both parental fears and the self-determination of the youth.
