Nonbinding? So it's just figurative? Performative? Symbolic?
Good start though?
Still, it's a shame we have to legislate human decency. Or enforce it. Why is being shitty the default of enough people that we need laws to protect and enshrine basic decency?
The EU can't make binding resolutions to significantly change countries' domestic laws without unanimous approval. Italy, Hungary, or Bulgaria would just veto it
The most the EU can do is laws requiring trans discrimination protections + gender identity recognition if obtained from a country where it's allowed, and they've already done both of those
So at the very least, a trans Hungarian has the right to move to an EU country with easy trans self-identification laws: and after a few months of residency, they could obtain gender recognition that all EU countries would be forced to accept. (EU's open borders, so you can move between countries as easy as moving between US states)
Likewise, a gay Hungarian couple could have a wedding in another EU country and Hungary would be forced to recognize that marriage
So itβs kind of a similar dynamic to trans people in Florida being theoretically able to move to New York and access resources and protections there?
Yes and you're actually legally better off in Hungary than Florida, because the EU forces Hungary to have minimal anti-discrimination protections and accept foreign gender changes in documents, while the US federal govt is completely aligned with Florida
Yes, as residency in an EU country automatically grants you EU citizenship, which gives you the right to live and work in any EU member state. The only thing you can't do is vote in local elections, unless you apply to become a naturalized citizen.
