→Bündnis 90/Die Grünen: GREENS parliamentary group
=== [[Bündnis 90/Die Grünen]] ===
==== GREENS parliamentary group ====
In 2020, the [[GREENS]] parliamentary group, led by MdB Sven Lehmann, introduced a draft law for a so-called ''Self-Determination Act''<ref>{{REFdocument

Among other things, it is formulated in § 3 (ban on genital-altering surgical interventions): "Parents cannot consent to a genital-altering surgical intervention on the internal or external sexual characteristics of the child. [...]" The last sentence of this paragraph has it all: "§ 1631d BGB remains unaffected." This not only leaves the discriminatory and obviously unconstitutional [[German Circumcision Act|circumcision law]] untouched, but also the protection of intersexual and transsexual people has led to an absurdity whose legal conflict can hardly be resolved in this way. How, for example, is genital mutilation in a boy to be assessed from a legal point of view if the person concerned later decides that the classification "male" did not correspond to their feelings? According to the [[German Circumcision Act]], it might have happened legally, but not according to the [[GREEN]]N's draft self-determination law.
A commenter on Sven Lehmann's Facebook page commented appropriately: "Especially intersexual and transsexual children are dependent on their foreskin, since this is urgently needed for later self-determined operations. [...] Whoever, like the Greens, sees gender as a freely selectable continuum, but at the same time completely binary and independent of the concrete one characteristics of the sexual organs that legalize genital mutilation makes itself completely implausible."<ref>{{REFweb

In the [[Circumcision Debate]] he still denies, however, that religions engage here in the rights of others and that children are at all bearers of [[human rights]]:
