(Madrid, Spain) - Spain's parliament on Thursday passed a law allowing transsexuals to change their name and gender on official documents without needing to undergo surgery first. The law, which had progressed through the country's lower legislative chamber earlier in the week, was opposed by the conservative opposition Popular Party. The new legislation requires transsexuals to present an official medical diagnosis stating a clinically proven case of gender dysfunction and to have undergone appropriate treatment for two years before changes in identity documents can be performed.
