Transgender people in Mexico City can get an official document, which will allow them to have their constitutional rights with their new gender identity without passing through expert medical examinations, announced the city's legal services adviser Manuel Granados.

"Today they just have to come to the Civil Registry and say, under oath, that is their desire to be perceived by the gender their choosing, before they had to prove they were under hormone treatment, surgery and psychotherapy,” Granados said.
