“This is not enough, this is not a recognition of identity, because it is a simple change of name, it does not imply the change of sex in the documentation,” Adrián brandished, this Thursday, December 1, in an interview at the Success Circuits.
The leader, who was the first trans woman elected deputy of the National Assembly (AN), in 2015, pointed out that the standard set by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Court-IDH) is that people must have their identity recognized self-perceived.
“A trans person who is going to look for a job, a house or is going to enroll in an educational center, and it costs them a lot, it is practically impossible,” said Tamara Adrián.
Deputies of the 2020 National Assembly committed, on Tuesday, November 29, to request the National Electoral Council (CNE) to allow and approve the legal change of name for trans people, as established in article 147 of the Registration Law Civil.
After spending nine days chained in front of the Ombudsman’s Office, activists from the Lgbti community went to the AN in 2020 to raise various demands regarding human rights in the sector, including the repeal of article 565 of the Organic Code of Military Justice and access to name change for reasons of gender established in the Civil Registry.
