Without institutional support, Lithuanian trans teens struggle with taboo and prejudice Domantė Platūkytė, LRT.lt2021.06.28 08:00 Transgender flag / Shutterstock Experiences of transgender teens and children remain a taboo in Lithuania. Oftentimes, parents take their children to exorcists and self-taught psychiatrists, leading to depression or even suicide. Lithuania does not permit gender reassignment surgery, and transgender individuals who go through the treatment abroad have to go to court to have the entry on sex changed in ID documents. In 2007, a transgender man took Lithuania to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) over refusal to recognise his sex change. The Court ordered Lithuania to pay 5,000 euros in damages and adopt a law on gender recognition. Failing to adopt the regulation, Lithuania was to cover 40,000 euros in surgery costs.
