The United States rainbow community wasn't the only one getting some wonderful news today. My trans cousins in Argentina according to Blabbeando and Rod 2.0 tweets witnessed their national legislature passing a bill affirming their human rights.
Been talking on these electronic pages about their Gender Identity Law that has been winding its way through the Argentine legislature.
It would make it easier for transgender peeps in that country to change their national identity documents to reflect who they are now in addition to groundbreaking benefits that ensures access to trans specific medical care in their national health plan..
It passed the Argentine Chamber of Deputies by a lopsided 167-17 margin and has been percolating in the Argentine Senate pending today's vote
It passed the Argentine Senate today on a 55-0 vote with one abstention and is now headed to President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's desk for her signature.
Nice to see at least one country doing some groundbreaking things for its trans population and hope other nations emulate this.
