Content warning: German trans politics (click or activate to expand post)
Just wanted to let you all know there was this petition here, basically aiming to abolish the outdated TSG (Transsexuellengesetz
, "transsexual law"
) in favour of a more modern self-determination law. As currently, legal name and gender changes are extremely expensive (1000€ and above due to the requirement of two evaluations by mental health professionals) and time-intensive (about a year), this would be a huge step forward. You can also sign if you are not a German citizen, in which case, a translator like DeepL might help you to determine what exactly you are signing.
