Trans legal parenthood in the Nordic countries
Trans legal parenthood has been litigated before several European courts over the past decade. Yet the prevailing European legal approach remains one of gender misalignment, whereby parental status is assigned according to the parent’s birth-assigned gender rather than their legally recognized gender. With the exception of Norway, the Nordic countries stand out as a notable divergence. By embracing a gender-alignment approach to parental determin…

Registering births
This article sheds light on the normative dimension of birth registration and explores how birth registration practices intertwine with traditional notions of child care. It shows that, while birth registration may appear a straightforward and factual procedure, it actually rests upon and perpetuates the notion that care 'naturally' stems from gestation and birth, and is by definition maternal. This normative dimension of birth registration becom…
Re-reading Neulinger and Shuruk v. Switzerland
This Article offers an anthropologically informed rereading of the landmark case Neulinger and Shuruk v. Switzerland , decided by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in 2010.

This approach draws on anthropol…

What was long feared by legislators and courts has now become reality: trans men give birth to their own children and request to be designated as their ‘fathers’ for the purpose of birth registration. This article sheds light on the transformative potential of such procreative scenarios and the following legal claims for fatherhood. An argument is made that they invite essential reflections on what it means to be a father today and, in so doing, …
Anonymous Birth
Although the right to know one’s origins has increasingly gathered momentum, anonymous birth remains an insurmountable obstacle to access in identifying information concerning one’s biological parents, at least within the Italian legal context. The judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in the case of Godelli v Italy reiterated that the problematic issue does not lie in the woman’s right to remain anonymous per se , but rather in …
