Interesting decision by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in the context of the gender identity debate.

Avv. Andres Alessandro Martini

The suppression of the indication of sex obtained in Germany by a person of Swiss nationality is not recognised in Switzerland and cannot be entered in the Swiss civil status register. According to the clear will of the legislator, the legal system of gender binarism (male/female) is maintained for the time being and it is not permissible to waive the indication of sex (decision of 8 June 2023 5A__391/2021)
