Madrid (EFE).- The Ministry of Equality has assured this Friday that in the notarial deed presented by the candidate for the Local Police of Torrelodones (Madrid), who declared himself a trans woman in the process of access to the body, appeals to the law trans from the Community of Madrid in 2016.
The Torrelodones City Council is studying with the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Equality the first case in the Community of Madrid in which an applicant for the physical tests of the Local Police has presented a notarial deed with the request for gender change to carry them out as a woman.
The candidate began the selection process for the Local Police in January as a male and passed the first knowledge test, but in this second physical test, he presented the gender change application certificate on the day of the test, for which the qualifying court decided to take the tests with two scales, as a man and as a woman, until Equality and the Community of Madrid gave them guidelines on how to act in this case that has occurred for the first time after the approval of the trans law.
The law for the real and effective equality of trans people and for the guarantee of the rights of state LGTBI people, called trans law, requires in its article 44 that the person who wants to carry out this procedure appear in the registry on two occasions , with a maximum of three months between the first and second time to confirm your decision. Subsequently, the Civil Registry will have one more month to issue the resolution.
For its part, the Madrid trans law states in its article 3 that its purpose is to protect the effective exercise of freedom of trans people “without discrimination in all spheres of political, economic, cultural and social life”, especially in areas such as employment.
In addition, the trans-autonomous law establishes in its article 4 that “no person will be subject to any requirement of proof of total or partial performance of genital surgeries, hormonal treatments or psychiatric, psychological tests or medical treatments to make use of their right to identity. of gender or access to services or documentation according to their felt gender identity in public administrations or private entities in Madrid”.
The Madrid Minister of the Presidency, Justice and the Interior, Enrique López, has argued this Friday that it is the central government that is responsible for clarifying the consequences of the application of the trans-state law.
The Community of Madrid has asked the Ministry of Equality for a report to interpret the trans-state law, at the same time that it has urged the central Executive to resolve this problem that belongs to the basic statute of the civil servant.
