The analysis also covers the procedures for changing one’s given name and surname in the context of legal gender recognition. By applying a dogmatic-legal method, the author critically assesses current legal regulations, court rulings, and procedural practices, identifying systemic obstacles that transgender individuals may encounter during their transition. The study highlights inconsistencies in administrative practice, legislative gaps, and procedural burdens that may hinder the practical realization of the rights of transgender individuals. The article also reflects on potential de lege ferenda solutions to establish clear, inclusive, and transparent procedures in Polish administrative law to ensure the complete and dignified legal recognition of gender identity. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20550 Tytuł: Żądanie zmiany oznaczenia płci w kontekście tożsamości człowieka i jego „ja genetycznego” Autorzy: Telusiewicz, Piotr Abstrakt: The full Civil Chamber of the Polish Supreme Court has adopted a resolution indicating, among other things, that a request to change the gender designation on one’s birth certificate is subject to court review in non-contentious proceedings, applying, by analogy, Article 36 of the Act of 28 November 2014 – the Law on Civil Registry Records. Gender is not only an element of a person’s marital status, but also an important tool for describing and verifying a person’s identity (as data relating to a person). There are numerous legal provisions in the Polish legal system that confirm this. Although the existing legal framework does not directly refer to the concept of the geneticization of human identity, it indirectly highlights its individual dimension, focusing on the ‘genetic self’. In scholarly discussions, the concept of the ‘genetic self’ should be referenced and the relationship between this ‘self’ and a person’s identity, as well as the possibility of requesting a change of gender designation, should be explored. However, the Supreme Court’s solution cannot be simply negated (or even theoretically eliminated); rather, a different perspective on the issue can be attempted. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20549 Tytuł: Konstytucyjne uwarunkowania prawnego uregulowania kwestii tranzycji płci Autorzy: Puchta, Radosław; Waszkiewicz, Kordian Abstrakt: This article aims to indicate the constitutional conditions of gender transition of Poland. It argues that although the Polish Constitution does not directly regulate the situation of persons experiencing gender dysphoria, some specific guarantees regarding these persons might be reconstructed from the Constitution’s general clauses, such as the protection of human dignity and the right to decide about one’s own life. This primarily concerns the so-called right to respect and the protection of gender iden tity. It is the legislature’s ‘positive obligation’ to regulate the premises, procedure and consequences for gender recognition in official documents. To date, however, there is still no law specifically addressing this issue. Courts are attempting to fill this legal gap, but their case law remains inconsistent. As a result, realising the right to respect and the protection of gender identity still encounters excessive (disproportionate) barriers in Poland. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20547 Tytuł: Zakaz dyskryminacji ze względu na tożsamość płciową i orientację seksualną w świetle orzecznictwa luksemburskiego dotyczącego związków osób transseksualnych i homoseksualnych: TSUE jako kreator hierarchii ochrony przed dyskryminacją? Autorzy: Szczerba, Aleksandra Abstrakt: Protection against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation – some of the most intimate personal characteristics – has become part of the EU legal system relatively recently. The Court of Justice of the European Union plays an important role in shaping this protection. The aim of this article is to assess the level of actual protection against discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and sexual orientation through a comparative analysis of the anti-discrimination judgments of the CJEU concerning the rights of unions of transsexual and homosexual persons. The research shows that transsexual people and their relationships enjoy a greater degree and scope of protection against discrimination in their relationships than homosexual people do. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
