Current Legal and Administrative Situation of Transgender Persons in Poland. Selected Issues
Aktualna sytuacja prawnoadministracyjna osób transpłciowych w Polsce. Wybrane problemy

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the current legal and administrative situation of transgender persons in Poland. Three particularly relevant acts of substantive administrative law in this context are analysed: the Civil Status Records Law, the Population Register Act, and the Identity Cards Act. The following research questions were posed: What is the impact of the provisions of the aforementioned acts on the status of natural persons covered by this law? Whether and when citizens are treated equally in this matter? And whether the protection of transgender persons in Poland is sufficient, in particular concerning civil status, which is a fundamental personal right. In addressing this issue, the dominant research theory is the legal-dogmatic approach. In addition, the authors employed the analysis of judicial decisions, expert literature, legal doctrine, and observation methods as auxiliary approaches.
