En el link puede verse la sesión de la Cámara de Diputadxs que está dándose en este mismo momento.

Right now, Argentina’s Congress is discussing a groundbreaking gender identity law which would allow trans people to change their gender marker & name without any sort of medical/psychological permission and without needing body modifications. Also, if it passes, hormones and surgery would be covered by health insurance and public hospitals.

Watch the discussion at the link above (in Spanish).

Edit: YES, it was approved by this chamber of Congress! Now it has to pass the Senate before officially becoming a law.

A trans woman is insisting a Tennessee DMV can’t have it both ways: either they decide she’s a man and she should be legally allowed to go topless, or she is a woman & then they need to change her gender marker on her license to an F.

So she took her shirt off outside the DMV, and they promptly arrested her. I’m sure they still didn’t change her gender marker, however.

These ‘gender determined by genitals’ laws have got to go.
