A district council in eastern Germany has taken what appears to be an unprecedented step, petitioning a court to strip a convicted neo-Nazi of his registered female gender identity after he used the country's self-identification law to secure a place in a women's prison.
Officials in Saalekreis, near the city of Halle in Saxony-Anhalt, have asked the Halle district court to reclassify Sven Liebich, 55, as male. The regional broadcaster MDR first reported the legal move. The council says there are clear indications Liebich's gender declaration was not made in good faith, GB News wrote.
