Geschlechtsidentität und Recht

The question of which benefit claims non-binary persons may have against the SHI in connection with gender affirming surgery in accordance with Section 27 (1) sentence 1 SGB V has not yet been uniformly clarified by the social courts. This topic is also quite new in the medical and legal literature. This work therefore begins by reviewing the current state of medical knowledge and findings. It then summarizes the current case law of the social courts, which is critically classified taking into account the relevant literature. Based on this, the author develops possible criteria according to which corresponding claims of non-binary insured persons could be assessed in the future.

In the course of her doctorate, the author specialized in the field of medical law, in which she now works as a lawyer.
