Doorbraak [Dutch]: Young people are not allowed to be sterilised. So why are they allowed to change sex?

In this interview with Doorbraak, Athena Forum Director Faika El-Nagashi discusses her departure from the Austrian Greens over their stance on gender identity policies, and the founding of Athena Forum. She explains why defending sex-based rights requires legal clarity, renewed democratic debate and sometimes unexpected alliances — and warns against the deliberate conflation of gender identity with lesbian and gay rights, or with women’s rights more broadly.
