Yet not through anti-discrimination law, but through the constitutional logic of free movement. The Court of Justice held that EU law precludes national legislation preventing a Union citizen from changing gender-related data in civil-status records in relation to the exercise of free movement. The Court thereby further expands the role of Union citizenship as a vehicle for protecting personal identity and dignity.
