STRASBOURG, June 16, 2010  –  The European Parliament adopted today a strong position in favour of safeguarding transgender people's fundamental rights.

MEPs officially acknowledged discrimination on grounds of gender identity, called for accessible gender reassignment procedures, and insisted that future EU gender equality initiatives should address issues linked to gender identity and gender reassignment.
