Argentina ended gender change surgeries in minors

The government of Javier Milei will modify the gender identity law in Argentina in order to prohibit the treatments “hormonization and body adaptation surgeries in children under 18”.

According to the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, these interventions “to which children are exposed to children are both physical and mental health” since “an interruption implies in its maturation process.”

According to the Argentine Law, to date the minors are allowed to access the aforementioned treatments whenever they enjoy the support of their legal tutors or with the approval of a judicial authority.

At the discretion of Javier Milei’s spokesman, these treatments and surgeries “in many cases” have “irreversible” effects.

In addition, he pointed out that pioneers in gender matters such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland and the United States “are going back by prohibiting children can undergo these processes.”

More restrictions from Milei to the LGBT+ community

The Government of Javier Milei will also prohibit transfers in prisons following gender changes.

What does it imply? In case a conviction is in a men’s prison, he cannot change to a women’s pavilion “only for self -perception as such.” Adorni added.

With this measure “the security of all detainees is guaranteed.”

In this regard, the Argentine Federation LGBT+ indicated that “the president cannot modify a law by decree.” “And if you try to resort to justice and the Inter -American Court if necessary,” they said in X.

The announcement of the Milei Administration takes place four days after a massive march of protests in Buenos Aires and more Argentine cities in rejection of the president’s comments in the Davos forum.

And, for Milei, “Wokism” and “radical feminism” intends “privileges.” Milei also charged against concepts such as “feminicide” and “gender ideology.”
