The ‘Wokeness’ of Female Disney Characters
Many Disney characters considered ‘woke’ this century are women or girls. In ...
In a huge step for trans rights, Spain’s Cabinet approved a draft bill on LGBTQ+ rights which would allow trans youth to change their gender via self-identification. Contrary to the bill’s 2021 version, the latest draft extends these rights to non-citizens living in Spain as well.
Up to this point, legally changing a person’s gender required two years of hormonal treatment and a certified medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. If passed, the bill will now allow trans teens who are 16 years of age or older to legally change their gender identities without parental consent. For teens aged between 14 and 16, parent’s approval would be needed, or individuals can apply for a judge’s authorization to choose their gender without parental consent. For ages between 12 and 14, trans teens must receive approval from a judge in order to change their gender. For children under the age of 12, the bill won’t allow them to change their legal gender identity—but seeking a legal name change is possible.
Spain’s Equality Minister Irene Montero expressed hope for the Parliament’s passage of the bill and celebrated the Cabinet’s support. “This is a historic day after more than 15 years without any legislative progress.” Since the bill’s Cabinet approval, LGBTQ+ activists have also praised officials for their decision on social media.
So excited for this win for the trans community in Spain ❤️ I hope other countries follow suit https://t.co/dX50oomeOZ
