Mexico City has approved a bill allowing transgender people the legal right to change gender on official documents without a court order.
Last week, the Legislative Assembly of the Federal District (ALDF) passed the legislation with 42 votes in favor and only six abstaining.
The bill was proposed by Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera on the recommendation of the assembly’s Commission for Attention to Vulnerable Groups.
On Thursday, he said: “The ALDF complies with constitutional reform to ensure the observance of the fundamental rights of the people, by not allowing discriminatory acts or conduct.”
Jorge Zepeda Cruz, president of the commission, called the legal changes “inevitable.”
