Abstract

From the depathological version of the trans phenomenon, we analyze the new practices that international human rights law requires of States regarding the recognition of the right to self-perceived gender identity in childhood, based on a series of historical, theoretical and conceptual assumptions that have given rise to its recent study. At the end, reference is made to the Argentinean regulatory model that emerged after the enactment of Law No. 26.743 on Gender Identity, and the way in which it became the reference framework for other States in the world to create an inclusive legal order towards any bodily and gender diversity.
