CHAPTER 3: HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER AND PROTECTION OF FAMILY AND PRIVATE LIFE

Abstract

The analysis of the case law gives us the vision of an enlightened reality that is complex and full of nuances. In fact, the European Court of Human Rights has not hesitated to transform in the long term the social, legal and medical vision of transsexualism. However, although the Court remains sensitive to social developments, its approach to the relationship between gender and reproduction remains to a large extent dependent on the margin of appreciation it leaves to States.
