Pieter Cannoot, “Protecting (Trans and) Non-Binary People Against Discrimination in and Through EU Law: Time to Overcome Blind Spots” German Law Journal (2026) (Drawing on recent empirical data, including the 2023 FRA LGBTIQ Survey, the article shows that EU law still lacks explicit protection against discrimination on grounds of gender identity and gender expression, and that the Court of Justice’s case law extending sex discrimination to trans persons leaves significant blind spots, particularly for non-binary individuals. It argues for a more inclusive reading of “sex” in EU equality law and addresses the doctrinal challenges of balancing the interests of cisgender women with those of trans and non-binary people).
