Overview

• Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt calls Liebich’s legal gender change a misuse of the Selbstbestimmungsgesetz and urges reforms to curb abuse.
• The SPD rejects blanket changes to the law, labels the case an isolated misuse, and the FDP argues courts and existing rules can address outliers.
• Liebich is due to begin an 18‑month sentence, with initial placement expected in the Chemnitz women’s prison, though final housing rests with Saxony’s authorities.
• The Federal Justice Ministry says prison assignments for trans, intersex, or non‑binary inmates need not follow the legal gender entry alone and should be decided case by case.
• A CSU‑led Interior Ministry draft to record prior gender and name data in the civil register draws sharp criticism from the SPD and the Greens over privacy and outing risks.
