Description
Summary:This report aims to analyse gender change and legal cases related to participation in sports, sports ethics, sports legal relations, regulation and others. In order to solve the main tasks, achieve the goal and prove the hypothesis, a complex methodology is applied: a legal method oriented to the practice of law enforcement, a sociological - axiological method, a comparative analysis between methodological concepts, the judicial practice in Bulgaria and the EU. The analysis interprets decisions of the courts in Bulgaria, the EU and the IOC, as well as psychological and normative aspects related to gender change. European gender reassignment practice, as well as the conditions for legal gender reassignment, are also reviewed. Conclusion: legal gender change does not disturb the balance between personal and public relations, including civil law turnover, but this possibility introduces ambiguity, unpredictability and instability in sports legal relations.
