Fidesz accuses medical chamber of promoting gender extremism in membership forms

Fidesz representative Takács Péter raised concerns in parliament over the Magyar Orvosi Kamara’s applicant questionnaire, which permits respondents to select “other” for gender. He framed the option as evidence of a gender frenzy promoted by the Tisza government. Fellow MP Németh Balázs supported the critique, suggesting the policy undermines traditional gender definitions.

The issue is tied to the challenges faced by trans individuals dependent on hormone treatments, whose legal documents often mismatch their gender presentation. Lawmakers questioned whether the new categorisation would influence medical protocols and ethical codes. The debate occurs alongside the parliament’s recent move to reinstate compulsory chamber membership for doctors.
