The Constitutional Court ruled at the request of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of Cassation
The term “sex” in our country has only one interpretation, and it is in a biological sense. This was decided by the Constitutional Court after a question from the Supreme Court of Cassation. The reasons for their opinion are set out in 55 pages, NOVA has learned.
They refer both to texts in our basic law and to social and religious concepts. The reasons state that when the Constitution was written, in our country gender was understood only as a biological concept.
The basic law also stipulates that the family is composed of a man and a woman. In this sense, “gender” cannot be interpreted differently.
Whatever appearance or social role the individual assumes, he is biologically defined as a man or a woman, the supreme magistrates write.
Good to know that Bulgaria is transphobic, I guess. 🤨
The more you know…
Oh. Ok
Sex is biological but gender is a social construct.
Sex = physical genitals
Gender = psychological
Is that to hard to grasp?
What if a man gets castrated trough an accident? Does he become by law a woman?
First tought is: let people have whatever sex they want. It’s not like a potential partner will check an ID card to say what is says.
Second thought is: this being the EU, there’s probably a thousand (tax) rules and regulations that differ based on which sex you are. So you’d have to go and check wheter you’re not creating a loophole somewhere when you make this an easy administrive change.

So, means that that they have like here in Germany a third sex/gender for intersex people? I mean, you can see it right after birth.

The only decision they could make because they’re not making a new decision about what gender is or should be, they ruled that sex as is written in our constitution was intended to be understood in a biological way.
Sex is physical/biological…
Gender is not…
That is why it’s called sexual reassignment the surgery to make one’s sex adhere to one’s gender when they don’t match!
A different problem arises if one defines the sex as genetic instead of physical/biological…
My 2 cents!
Okay, so what is the “biological sex”? Chromosomes? Genitalia? Bet you don’t know the chromosomes or genitalia of every person you meet in public.

Mental sex is way better in my opinion

This is an article about that in English.
And big part of Bulgaria is happy about this, including yours truly.
Finally some logic in the modern age
