Description

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. The new § 22, para. 3 of the Civil Status Act (PStG) makes it possible to leave a person's gender affiliation unspecified The lecture examines the implications of this provision for the reform of German family law
