“The new rules allow minors 14 years and older to change their name and legal gender with approval from their parents or guardians; if they don’t agree, teenagers could ask a family court to overrule them.
In the case of children under 14, parents or guardians would have to make registry office applications on their behalf.”
Are you germans sure this is the correct way?

Yeah
Sounds like a long overdue reform to me. The old way of doing this was really undignified and discriminatory.
Yup, sounds fine to me. Legal names are frustratingly hard to change here, so that’s good, especially for members of sexual minorities this law is supposed to support.
