The new Spain's "Trans Law" 🏳️‍⚧️ is historical. It doesn’t only improve rights for trans people but also for lesbian cis-women and intersex people.

I haven't read much info about it in English and I believe it’s such a good Christmas 🎁 for the LGBT community so I'll explain it 👇

👉 Gender self-determination

The registry change of the name and gender in the ID will happen by judicial endorsement at ages 12—14; by the legal representatives' consent at ages 14—16; and free from the age of 16. It was already regulated in 15 out of 17 regions of Spain

@marinaaisa worth noting “gender self-determination” here is limited to a binarist choice between two letters and nothing else, but it’s still an improvement due to the aforementioned

also yes, there’s a weird tendency to not talk about Spain in the news no matter how important it is, it sometimes feels like a bit of a conspiracy but 

@xerz it's not the first time that I heard about Spain not being on the news in the US or UK. I have no idea why this happens but maybe due a historical conflict with England?
