The change of sex in polish law
Abstract
The article discusses the problems of the change of sex in Polish law in the
contex of comparative aspects. A main topic is the regulation of the way of
changing sex in the law on civil status acts. Only a few countries (Sweden,
West Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Austria) adopted appropriate legislative
acts in that respect. Polish law, like most other European legal systems, does not
address that issue in the statutory form. Hence, numerous problems arise with
respect to the judicial change of sex of transsexuals.
Contrary to the Supreme Court's view allowing to apply by analogy the
provisions on correction cf a birth certificate, the author proposes to use for
that purpose a declaratory action regulated in Art. 189 of the Civil Procedure Code.
Accepting a prevailing opinion that sexual integrity is one of personal interests
protected by the civil law and that a natural person has personal rights to those
interests, the author draws the conclusion that Art. 189 of the Civil Procedure
Code may be used by a person showing the traits of transsexualism. At the same
time the author points to the possibilities of regulating the issues of the change
of sex in the future law on medical care and medical profession.
