Care and policy
Sites on Dutch gender care, legislation and policy.
This category bundles the network sites that scrutinise Dutch gender care and the policy around it: how the clinics work, what the waiting times and figures are, which laws are at stake — from the Transgender Act to the conversion-practices law — and how gender identity entered education, youth care, sport and the prison system.
The sites document with sources: parliamentary papers, reports, case law and complaints from patients and family. You see not only what was decided, but by whom and with which lobby behind it.
Critical dossier on the Dutch Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Act: explanation, criticism, fundamental rights and the trans and gender dimension.
How gender identity entered Dutch policy — legislation, education, youth care, sport, shelters, prisons, lobbying.
Concerns about Dutch gender care: waiting times, lack of transparency, missing long-term research, complaints from patients and family.
Citizens' initiative monitoring Dutch gender care — clinics, figures, waiting times, reports, oversight.
A gender-critical look at Dutch trans policy — facts and background on gender policy issues.
Legal dossier — the Dutch Transgender Act, the withdrawn 2021 self-ID bill, the UN Women's Convention, the ECtHR and For Women Scotland (UK Supreme Court, April 2025).
