Trans rights in micronations

This article is about gender identity. For sexuality, see same-sex rights in micronations.

Many micronations have adopted laws regarding trans people. These laws vary greatly by micronation, and in many cases macronational law may interfere with the implementation of these laws.

Trans issues have at times been a point of contention in the MicroWiki Sector, and the topic remains controversial in many circles. Quite a few leaders of prominent micronations are open about their being trans. The Augusta Accord is one well-known event relating to trans rights in micronationalism.

Desired rights and protections

Below is a list of civil rights issues commonly championed by and for trans people, listed loosely in order of priority:

• Access to medical interventions, such as hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgeries, typically with as little gatekeeping as possible, often including in children
• Legal recognition and accommodation of gender identity
• Access to target-gender facilities, such as bathrooms, prisons, and other gender-segregated spaces
• The ability to remain legally married after changing legal sex, even if the marriage is now homosexual (relevant in jurisdictions where transition is legal but homosexuality is not -- commonly the case in the Middle East, previously the case in the West too)
• The right to adopt and raise children
• Ability to serve in the military
• Inclusion in the LGBT movement
• Ability to play in target-gender sports

In addition to the above rights, the following legal protections are also often sought by trans people:

• Legal requirements that others use one's preferred pronouns, often even if that means using neopronouns.
• Anti-bullying legislation, to protect gender-nonconforming children at school
• Anti-discrimination laws (such as in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations)
• Hate crime laws, which impose additional criminal penalties for prejudice-motivated crimes against trans people

Trans people also often seek the following positive rights:

• Public funding of transition, which for an individual is often prohibitively expensive when surgeries are required
• Public funding of assisted reproductive technologies, which are extraordinarily expensive and often required for trans people seeking to conceive, because transition is inherently damaging for their native reproductive organs
