⚧ The ECHR upheld the claim of three transgender men against Georgia.
The decision has already been published on the website of the European Court. The court ordered the state to pay 2,000 euros for non-pecuniary damage to each claimant and 9,812 euros additionally to one of the three participants in the claim.
ℹ️ In the case of “A. D. and Others vs. Georgia”, three transgender men appealed to the Strasbourg Court on the grounds that they could not obtain legal recognition of their gender in Georgia because they had not undergone a gender reassignment surgery.
According to Article 78(g) of the Law of Georgia on Civil Acts, the basis for making a change in a civil act record is gender change. In its decision, the court noted that “despite the fact that the right to change the gender in civil records has existed in Georgia since 1998, in fact there has not been a single case of successful legal recognition of gender change”. The Civil Registry notes that Georgian legislation does not precisely define what constitutes "gender change".

👶👨🏼⚕️Childbirth in Tbilisi and further actions with documents.
We gave birth in December 2021, having gone through several metropolitan clinics and settled on the Pineo Luxury maternity hospital. Several recommendations from our friends strengthened this decision and we did not regret it. There was always an individual approach (a separate elevator to their 4th floor, especially) and an attentive attitude, and for those who wish there is childbirth in the water. I was in the operating room during childbirth and the next three days in the hospital ward with my wife and child. Three meals a day (the most common), round-the-clock nurse nearby. The total cost for everything was about 3500 lari (about $1200). I give, by agreement, the phone number of the head physician of the department, Zaza Sinauridze: +995577405200 (you can write to him in Viber), he is ready to help all visiting women in labor, regardless of citizenship.
ℹ️ I want to add that there are also large metropolitan clinics Gagua and Chachava and many friends gave birth there. Surely there will be those who will praise or scold these two clinics.
📌 On the third day we were given a birth certificate (in Georgian). We registered it and apostilled it in the House of Justice. Further, you can contact your embassy (for Russians, in the section of interests of the Russian Federation, but registration should be made 2-3 months in advance), where you can get a passport for a child and certify citizenship. According to the place of birth, if two parents are foreigners, the child does not receive either a residence permit or citizenship. This is possible only if one of the parents is a citizen of Georgia.

📈🏡 In 2023, Georgian real estate prices may grow by 15-20%.
This was stated by Georgy Mzhavanadze, an expert at the TBC Capital investment company:
“The residential real estate market has been developing rapidly throughout Georgia since 2022. There are positive trends in both sales and rentals. In October 2022, compared to October 2021, the increase in the cost of rent reached an unprecedented value: +120% in USD. Realization value increased by 28% over the same period. At the same time, the total volume of housing sold in square meters increased by +34%. This trend started from the beginning of the year, and accelerated in the second half. We expect it to continue next year. In particular, in 2023 we expect real estate prices to rise by another 18%. And rent can rise up to another 20% - 25%. Correction may not come until 2024.”
ℹ️ About 90% of the Georgian real estate market is in Tbilisi and Batumi. There is little activity in Rustavi, Gori, Kutaisi, Zugdidi and Telavi. Of the total volume of transactions for 10 months of 2022, 81% fell on the secondary housing market.
