His former neighbor, who for years knew him only as R\u00fcdiger, continued to address him by his birth name even after he began identifying as a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former neighbor had initially been asked to attend two mediation meetings, but failed to show up for them. Kutzner then sued the former neighbor, and the district court has now ruled that the man must refrain from continuing to call him R\u00fcdiger. In the event of non-compliance, he is liable to a fine of EUR 250,000 or, failing that, to imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ex-neighbor also failed to appear at the court hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Are you interested in the pro-life and pro-family movement?
