In Saxony, 2,884 people have had their gender entry changed since the Self-Determination Act came into force. This is according to an answer from the Saxon Ministry of the Interior to a minor question from AfD MP Doreen Schwietzer (Drs. 8/6289). According to the information, the most changes were made in Leipzig: with 1,161 changes, more people made use of the option in the trade fair city than in Dresden (525) and Chemnitz (227) combined. The "Sächsische Zeitung" had previously reported this.
The most common change was from female to male at around 38 percent. In just under 24 percent of cases, the change was from male to female. The remaining changes were in other categories, such as changes to or from "not specified". The districts of Görlitz and Central Saxony did not provide any detailed information on the type of change - however, the total number of changes in these two districts is significantly lower than in Saxony's major cities.
