ALVAREZ SUAREZ, Laura. Pathologization and Invisibilization of Gender Identity in Spain: What Should we Learn from the Argentinean legislation?. []. , 19, 39, pp.85-109. ISSN 1692-2530.  https://doi.org/10.22395/ojum.v19n39a4.

The main objective of this work is making evident that the Spanish legislation does not regulate, forgets and even harms many of the rights of Trans people. For that, this research performed a study of the resolutions, recommendation and reports of the international organization, as well as the international norms and jurisprudence. As a result of this, the research was able to prove that Spain is far behind countries such as Argentina in matters of gender identity. One of the conclusions of this work is that the Spanish State should approve a new gender identity law that regulates this right from a de-pathologizing perspective, and apply gender studies in all of its laws.
