We have and had a couple of nice .eu domains but some of them are already gone

I don't think it should be the case of transexual.eu though, as far as it's a regular terminology (maybe unless Turkey joins EU )

But in general .eu domains are not too adult friendly.

Here is the citation:

Article 18

Improper registrations

Where a domain name is considered by a Court of a Member
State to be defamatory, racist or contrary to public policy, it
shall be blocked by the Registry upon notification of a Court
decision and shall be revoked upon notification of a final court
decision. The Registry shall block from future registration those
names which have been subject to such a court order for as
long as such order remains valid.



You can also check more here at:

EUR ID

That would be discrimination in this case however. The domains Transexual.eu and transexuals.eu are not defamatory and as long as they are used for the benefit of the community, rather than to offend transexuals, then there is no problem. The domains have actively been used in commerce since their acquisition as well.

Interesting comments, but I think in this specific case, it is not an issue.
