The report is particularly critical of several points of the Ministry of Equality’s project and argues for a higher level of control. They believe that the project does not sufficiently protect minors.
The General Council for the Judiciary this Wednesday approved his critical report with some points of the trans laws The plenary session of the body chaired by Carlos Lesmes has requested, by the unanimous vote of all its members, higher level of control
The project of the Ministry of Equality opens the door to a gender reassignment in the registry from 12 years without a medical report. In addition, ages 14 to 16 do not require a judge’s approval. It would suffice with the approval of the adolescent’s guardians.
Well, the CGPJ believes that: minors are not adequately protected and states that it is necessary hear a judge’s opinion until the young person is at least 16 years old. “This minimum requirement is not sufficient to protect the interests of minors within that age group who are insufficiently mature or whose transsexual situation is not stable,” the approved text warns.
On the other hand, they have demanded guarantees so that no positive discrimination against non-transsexual women They have given sports competitions as an example for this. And in the case of gender violencehave asked for guarantees that the aggressor does not use gender reassignment to avoid punishment.
The report is several months late. the minister of equality Irene Montero, has insisted that there are no surprises and that the roadmap of the government of Spain is clear: that the trans law will be passed as soon as possible. In any case, the judges’ report it is not binding
