Personal Experience Section

My Personal Experience in Transgender Violence

My Gender
Self-Determination

I am the first transgender lawyer in Spain who has officially transitioned in the Civil Registry, which has helped illustrate the simplicity of the legal procedure and how the law applies in specific gender-based violence.

The Lack of
Additional Requirements

Despite media pressure, it is important to clarify that changing gender in the civil registry and on the national ID can be a direct and accessible process, requiring only the presentation of the existing identification document, without additional requirements.

Legal Implications
Of Transition

According to Article 46 of the Trans Law, offenses committed before the transition from male to female are judged under the previous male identity, while any offense committed after the transition is judged under the new female identity.

Gender-Based Violence
And The Trans Law

This has significant implications for how violence cases are handled. For example, under current law, a trans woman cannot be tried under gender-based violence laws for crimes committed after transitioning, but would instead be judged under domestic violence laws.

Trans Activist
 

My commitment is to continue working tirelessly to ensure that every individual receives the respect, protection, and justice they deserve under current legislation.

We’re sure you still have questions

I have prepared a list of some of the most frequently asked questions, but if you still have doubts, write to hola@abogadoviolenciadegenero.com and we will help you.

01 | How can my lawyer defend my trans identity in gender-based violence cases?
Your lawyer must ensure that your trans identity is respected at every stage of the process. This includes addressing any prejudice or discrimination and ensuring that your identity is not used against you. The defense should focus on the facts of the case, keeping your trans identity as an important consideration, but not as a negative factor.
02 | What should I do if I feel my trans identity is affecting my gender-based violence case?
Speak openly with your lawyer about your concerns. It is crucial that you feel your identity is understood and taken into account in your defense. If you believe your trans identity is being unfairly used against you, your lawyer should address this directly, both in the legal strategy and in any interaction with the court or opposing parties.
03 | Are there specific legal resources for trans people in gender-based violence cases?
Yes, there are organizations and legal resources dedicated to helping trans people in situations of gender-based violence. They can provide additional support, guidance, and access to specialized support networks. Your lawyer can direct you to these resources to obtain more specialized assistance.
04 | How do I manage additional stress in gender-based violence cases due to my trans identity?
Consider seeking support from counselors specialized in gender and violence issues. It may also be helpful to get involved in support groups for trans people, where you can share experiences and receive support from others who have faced similar situations. Maintain open communication with your lawyer about how the process is affecting you emotionally.
05 | Can I change my lawyer if I feel they do not understand my identity in my gender-based violence case?
Yes, it is important to have a lawyer you trust and who fully understands your situation, including your trans identity. If you feel your current lawyer is not providing the representation you need, seeking another lawyer who better aligns with your needs and has a deeper understanding of the intersection between gender-based violence and gender identity is a valid option.
