BERLIN (AP) — German lawmakers on Friday approved legislation that will make it easier for transgender, intersex and nonbinary people to change their name and gender in official records.

The “self-determination law,” one of several social reforms that Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s liberal-leaning coalition government pledged when it took office in late 2021, is set to take effect on Nov. 1.

Germany, the European Union’s most populous nation, follows several other countries in making the change. Parliament’s lower house, the Bundestag, approved it by 374 votes to 251 with 11 abstentions.

The German legislation will allow adults to change their first name and legal gender at registry offices without further formalities. They will have to notify the office three months before making the change.

Germany was already pretty liberal, but this makes it a mere routine formality (with a bit of bureaucracy because they are still German).

A form with a Stempel, which you get from the Beamter. Hahaha

But... at least their bureaucracy still sort of works.

In the US you can’t even go to an office or talk to anyone in person anymore.

If something goes wrong, it’s always an IT problem (glitch) and no one is at fault.

A passport takes 12 weeks, a lost driver’s license where I’m at can take 8 weeks to replace, everywhere I go I see illegals (obvious) and they don’t get deported, roads are full of potholes, my kids can’t do simple geometry and graduated from an American high school... Yet everyone is reporting all their great success.

A person can no more change their gender than they can turn into a toad. But I guess we shouldn’t give them any more ideas.

Names can be changed. Gender, not so much.
