Brauchen wir ein drittes Geschlecht? Reformbedarf im deutschen (Familien-)Recht nach Einführung des § 22 Abs. 3 PStG

Abstract

In 2013, § 22, para. 3 of the Civil Status Act (PStG) made clear that the civil status of intersexual persons could be entered in birth records without an indication of gender affiliation. However, German family law is still based on a binary gender hierarchy. The lecture examines whether a third sex should be recognized or if instead, gender should be eliminated altogether as a category in family law.
