Removed for rule 2. This would be better for s/ThereAreTwoGenders or s/GenderCritical

Disgraceful. Even in Ireland both adoptive parents get at least 2 weeks paid adoption leave (one of them gets 6 months paid). And you rarely get free stuff if you pay taxes in this country. I’m not sure what the laws are in Argentina with regards to adoption leave for opposite sex couples, but the amount should be the same for every couple.

I acknowledge that parental leave is expensive. It can kill small businesses. But instead, why doesn’t society treat parental and adoption leave like a pension - every employee pays into their own leave so that it’s there when he or she becomes a parent, and if he/she never becomes a parent, they’ll get it back as a pension.

Uruguay has a similar law. Opponents tried to force a referendum on the subject, but they failed because of a severely low turnout at the referendum. It shows that most people truly do not understand these self-ID laws and what they entail.

Isn’t the Argentine civil service already infamously corrupt and inefficient? Also, aren’t trans people less than 1% of the population anyways?

More like 0.3%. A lot of people are going to be unemployed because of this. Also, they’re giving gibs as a form of compensation to transsexuals above a certain age for the “hardships they’ve faced”. Meanwhile, gay and bisexual people were not allowed to serve openly in Argentina’s military until 2009. Do personnel unfairly discharged before then get any compensation? Keep in mind that 2009 is a very late year to be lifting a ban on GLB military personnel for a country that claims to be gay friendly like Argentina. And I thought it was weird enough that the U.K. and Germany kept their military bans in place until 2000.

Not sure how, but sometimes I feel like Ireland’s civil service could give Argentina’s a run for its money. The majority of staff in our public healthcare system are admins and office workers as opposed to doctors, nurses or surgeons. Our judges give have more sympathy for criminals than they do for victims. Public transport is prone to strikes because of poor management. Our military is dangerously underfunded; our navy is too small to patrol our waters to prevent drug cartels from bringing drugs and crime into our country, and our air corps personnel have to get trained by American airmen. Most of our civil servants got their jobs because of nepotism. Obviously, we weren’t that bad in 1973, when we joined the EU (then EEC), because I’d doubt we’d be allowed to join now if we weren’t already in.

"In 2013 a six-year-old girl named Luana, who was designated male at birth, became the first transgender child in Argentina to have her new name officially changed on her identity documents. She is believed to be the youngest to benefit from the country's Gender Identity Law."

His parents were the ones that benefit from this shit.
