We've heard it said over and over in the United States and Canada but have seen them fail repeatedly to live up to it: We'll come back for you.

There is not only a push to get Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner reelected to another term in the upcoming October 23 election, they are pushing a Gender Identity Law on behalf of the trans community.
The Argentine Congress will begin debate tomorrow on a proposed gender identity law that if passed, would allow anyone to correct his or her name, gender and image registration in all public records through a quick and simple procedure.
The current policy in Argentina is for trans people who wish to have government ID that reflects their name and gender presentation to get the changes to them done via a judge's ruling. While our transpeople do occasionally win these court hearings, it can be a lengthy, costly and frustrating process if they have to appeal adverse rulings.

Best of luck to our trans brothers and sisters in Argentina and hope I have positive news to report soon from our South American trans cousins
