Abstract
Transgender care in the Netherlands is under a magnifying glass. Among other matters, there are complaints about the long waiting times for gender reassignment treatments, the aftercare and the reimbursement of care. Transgender care is crucial for the health, well-being, and physical integrity of the individual. In this article, authors focus on the accessibility of transgender care, by providing an overview of the case law on gender reassignment treatments (until the end of 2023). The analysis investigates Dutch case law, judgments of the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights and judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The overview serves as a starting point for further research in this area.
