description On 29th September 2023, the Comenius University Bratislava hosted a scientific conference entitled "Quo Vadis the Status of Transgender People in Slovakia?" It was organized by the research team of the project VEGA 1/0350/21, which focuses on the ethical and legal aspects related to the informed consent of transgender minors. The project team is based at the Faculty of Law of Comenius University in Bratislava. The primary aim of the conference was to start a substantial discussion about the ethical, medical, and legal principles for care for transgender and non-binary adolescents in the Slovak Republic. For this purpose, experts from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, endocrinology, law, philosophy, and ethics were invited. An integral part of the conference was the lecture and attendance of transgender people and non-binary people in a discussion panel. The principle of self-determination was confirmed to be fundamental for the further development of legal framework and medical services in Slovakia.
