Czechia planning to end practice of mandatory castration for trans people

The justice ministry is preparing draft legislation according to which trans people would no longer have to undergo castration because of their sex change. According to the ministry the draft proposal will now be reviewed by the ruling parties and then presented to the government for approval.  Czechia is one of the last countries in Europe that still requires trans people to undergo mandatory castration. It is still compulsory in Turkey and Serbia. Neighboring Slovakia recently abandoned the practice.
