Trans Law: the PSOE touches on gender self-determination and proposes that those under 16 have to go through a judge

The record of amendments to the text and, especially, the modification proposals that the PSOE has presented, is what has made the Trans Platform Federation have chosen to go out again to the streets.

Specifically, the socialists want to

-determination in children under 16 and also the process in case of reversal of gender change.

For the Trans Platform, the PSOE's intentions are "prejudicial and stigmatizing towards trans people."

Regarding the proposal so that minors between 12 and 16 years of age need judicial approval to be able to change their name and sex in the Civil Registry, they consider that they are "unconstitutional and contrary to European recommendations" which, as he explained, speak of " administrative procedures, fast, simple and without age limit".

In this context, the organization recalled the existence of various rulings and the assessment of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the "unanimous position of the institutions in defense of human rights" of the Council of Europe and the European Union, which

and that the States "promote legal frameworks based on gender self-determination as a legal tool to consider trans people subjects of law and not third-party citizenship."

Likewise, the platform has warned that both the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court "have concluded that basic human rights, including the right to identity, must be enjoyed at all ages and that this right is unquestionable," recalling , at this point, the ruling of the Constitutional Court of 2019, which "recognizes the right of minors who demonstrate stability and maturity to be able to access the rectification of name and sex".

Regarding the PSOE's proposal to introduce "legal guarantees" for the reversibility of the change of sex and name, he considers that this would serve to "want to legalize discrimination" because there would be "unequal and discriminatory treatment when it comes to enjoying fundamental rights and that the rest of the citizenry already enjoys, without these alleged restrictions that undermine individual liberties".
