My personal experience
The legal implications of sex change
MY GENDER SELF-DETERMINATION
The first trans lawyer in Spain to officially transition gender in the Civil Registry, which has served to illustrate the simplicity of the legal process and how it affects the application of the law in specific contexts such as gender violence.
THE LACK OF ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Despite media pressure, I was able to clearly demonstrate that changing gender in the civil registry and on the DNI can be a direct and accessible process, requiring only the presentation of existing identity documentation, without the need to meet additional requirements.
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF TRANSITION
According to article 46 of the Trans Law, crimes committed before transitioning from male to female are judged under the previous male identity, while any crime committed post-transition is judged under the new female identity.
This has significant implications for how violence cases are handled. For example, under current law, a trans woman cannot be judged under specific gender violence laws post-transition, but instead would be judged under domestic violence laws.
My commitment is to continue working tirelessly to ensure that every individual receives the respect, protection and justice they deserve under current legislation.

What does the procedure consist of?
The Trans Law in Spain facilitates and regulates the gender change process in official records, guaranteeing the right to gender self-determination without the need for medical, psychological or hormonal intervention.
REQUIREMENTS
– No requirements from the age of 16.
– Minors between 14 and 16 must be accompanied by their parents, while if the minor does not have their consent, a judicial defender will be appointed to resolve the conflict.
– From ages 12 to 14, gender can also be changed provided the minor has judicial authorization.
– Children under 12 cannot change the registered sex marker but can change their name to align it with the gender they identify with.
TIMEFRAMES
Once the application is submitted to the Civil Registry, it must be ratified within a maximum period of three months and approximately one month later, the ruling granting or denying the gender change will be issued.
REVERSIBILITY
The law allows that after six months, a trans person may request to return to their original sex.
SANCTIONS
Acts of discrimination against LGTBIQ+ individuals will be punished with fines of up to €150,000.
APPEALS
Administrative: If your application is denied, you may appeal to the General Directorate of Registries and Notaries of the Ministry of Justice.
Judicial: Once the administrative route is exhausted, you may file a contentious-administrative appeal before the court.

I offer legal advice and representation for people who have experienced LGTBI phobia in various contexts, such as work, housing, education and the community in general. My goal is to protect my clients’ rights and fight discrimination and harassment.
In Spain, there are specific laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in various areas, including employment. As a lawyer specialized in LGTBI rights in Spain, I will help you understand and protect your rights according to the local and national laws applicable in our country.
If you face discrimination or harassment at work due to your sexual orientation or gender identity, it is important to first speak with your employer’s human resources department. If this does not resolve the problem, you may consider filing a complaint with labor authorities or seeking legal advice.
In cases of housing discrimination, it is important to gather evidence of the discrimination and contact a lawyer specialized in LGTBI rights. You may also reach out to LGTBI rights organizations that can provide guidance and support.
In a legal consultation, we will discuss your situation, your rights and the available options. I will analyze your needs and provide guidance on how to address LGTBI phobia in your specific case. My goal is to offer legal support and empower you to seek justice.
I offer consultation services both online and in person, adapting to my clients’ needs. You can schedule a consultation in whichever format is most convenient for you.
