Fortunately, the social acceptance of homosexual, bisexual and transgender persons has come a long way, although, of course, concerns still remain. In recent decades, legislators have done much to improve their legal position as well. On April 1, 2001, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to open marriage to people of the same sex. Transgender people no longer have to undergo a physical alteration first in order to be counted as belonging to the opposite sex before the law. Gender neutrality is taken into account, and in 2018, the municipality of Breda was the very first in the world to issue a passport with the gender designation "X." This required court proceedings. Also, duo-motherhood has now been regulated and plans are in the works to introduce legal options for two men to have a child with the help of a surrogate mother.
And so there are lots of specific situations and issues you can run into. In addition to needing an experienced attorney, it is nice when they can fully empathize with your specific situation. As a proud trans woman, I know better than anyone how important it is to not only feel accepted, but truly understood. People from the LGBT community therefore like to come to me for advice for their specific situation.
