What countries have trans law in Latin America?
According to the Latin American Strategic Center for Geopolitics, measures to support self-perceived identity were widely accepted in the region, although the first were those of Panama (2006), Uruguay (2009) and Brazil (2009). In 2012, Argentina condemned a gender identity law that would mark progress in citizen recognition of the trans community. Later it would be followed by Colombia (2015), Bolivia (2016), Ecuador (2016), Peru (2016) and Chile (2018).
As for Mexico, there are 13 entities that have approved the Gender Identity Law are the following:
Mexico City, Coahuila, Colima, Chihuahua, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, San Luis PotosĂ, Sonora and Tlaxcala.
Until now, the reforms of Jalisco and Oaxaca are the only ones that include those under 18 years of age as part of those who can agree to change their gender identity and name on their birth certificate.
In the other states, the law only allows this administrative procedure to people over 18 years of age.
