Explore a 41-minute conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3) examining the intersection of trans, intersex, and non-binary (TIN*) rights with data security and surveillance in Germany. Learn about the new Self-Determination Act (SBGG) implemented in November 2024, which aims to simplify name and gender entry changes for TIN* individuals. Understand the controversial "disclosure requirement" that was negotiated out of the law in exchange for payment cards for asylum seekers, and how TIN* individuals are being instrumentalized against privacy rights for all citizens. Discover the connections between security packages, surveillance measures, and trans gender identity through concrete legislative proposals and activist actions. Gain insights into the parallels in legislative processes and the importance of networking between digital rights/data security communities and TIN* activism. Presented by members of Queerokratie, this German-language talk advocates for self-determination as a fundamental principle of hacking, whether technological or gender-related.
