Poland’s Supreme Court has ruled that trans people are no longer required to involve their parents in gender recognition proceedings, overturning a previous requirement that both minors would need to sue their parents to change their gender marker in official documents. The decision was welcomed by civil society groups as a step forward for trans rights, but it comes amid ongoing attacks from the far right, which continues to discredit gender identity and LGBTQ+ rights. While this ruling marks progress, Poland has yet to fully align its legal gender recognition process with international human rights standards, such as those outlined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and European Court of Human Rights, which call for accessible and rights-based procedures.
