Mexico: Guanajuato Should Legally Recognize Trans Identities

Trans people in the Mexican state of Guanajuato suffer economic, medical, and labor discrimination, and other onerous legal impediments because the state has no process for issuing identity documents consistent with their gender, Human Rights Watch said in a documentary released today. Guanajuato’s authorities should urgently create an administrative procedure to allow trans people to reflect their self-declared gender identity on official documents.
