Hungarian Constitutional Amendment Rejects Transgenderism
The Hungarian parliament delivered a rejection of transgenderism on Tuesday with the passage of a constitutional amendment against the legal recognition of gender transition.
The amendment, which also includes articles addressing matters such as the sale of drugs within the country, passed by a 140-21 margin in the National Assembly.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán touted the move on social media, saying, “Hungary’s constitutional amendment is now law. We’re protecting children’s development, affirming that a person is born either male or female … . In Hungary, common sense matters.”
Although the Hungarian government has not yet released an English translation of the Hungarian text, a translation from the online translator service DeepL provides a rough picture of what will go into effect. Statements by Hungarian politicians support the relative accuracy of the translation.
One article of the amendment states, “the Hungarian legal system does not recognize any change in the sex of birth,” per the translation.
🇭🇺📜 Hungary’s constitutional amendment is now law.
We’re protecting children’s development, affirming that a person is born either male or female, and standing firm against drugs and foreign interference.
In Hungary, common sense matters.
