Un año más y la despatologización de la transexualidad sigue siendo uno de los grandes retos pendientes de la lucha LGTB
Han pasado ya más de ocho años y medio desde que entrase en vigor la ley española de identidad de género. Una norma que en aquel momento supuso un enorme paso adelante sobre la situación previa, que exigía un proceso judicial, y que incluso hoy día sigue colocando a España por delante de muchos países de nuestro entorno, pero que sigue manteniendo la consideración de la transexualidad como un trastorno que debe ser identificado por un especialista ajeno a la propia persona transexual. Un paradigma anacrónico que cada vez más países están desterrando de sus propias legislaciones y que España, un país que presume –cada vez con menos razón– de estar a la vanguardia en materia de derechos LGTB debe ya replantearse.
