Transgender people are not mentally ill
Currently transgender identities are considered as a mental illness. Doctors and psychiatrists take most of the decisions on transgender people’s identities. Many transgender
people are subjected to invasive and degrading physical and psychological tests, treatment and procedures.

ILGA-Europe insists on respect and dignity for transgender people. We demand an end of pathologisation without any loss of needed health care.
Stop the pathologisation of transgender people!
ILGA-Europe supports the campaign launched by the International Trans Depathologization network:
