Mexico's Guanajuato advances gender identity recognition law
The Congress of Guanajuato, Mexico, has advanced a gender identity recognition law, making it the most recent state to allow reforms to its Civil Code to support transgender and non-binary people in accessing documents that recognize their self-perceived identity. As of September 2024, 21 Mexican states had established agreements to modify their legislation in favor of the trans and non-binary community. The reforms are praised by LGBT and trans groups as enabling access to rights in health, housing, and education. Gender identity is defined as an internal sense of being male, female, both, or neither, distinct from sexual orientation, and its legal recognition is supported by international human rights standards.
