"Attending the call and listening to the voices of the different collectives, this initiative arises", expressed the vocal deputy of the Commission of Equity, Gender and Family, who highlighted that the proposal to modify the Civil Code for the State of Nayarit, is so that in the Civil Registries the procedures of change of gender identity are free; "normally the people who request this procedure do not have the necessary economic resources to carry it out", she argued.

Thus, the proposal is based on the social need to guarantee the integral, free, autonomous and full development of each human being, having as a basis to promote the necessary actions that allow the construction of a freer and more egalitarian society.

Meanwhile, when the author of the initiative was asked if the free of charge to obtain the identity change document affects the State's income, the deputy pointed out that when talking about human rights and the guarantees to have access to the full exercise of them, we will always have a greater benefit.

Finally, the legislator shared that it is an initiative with a lot of social and human sense, which will promote empathy for people who, in addition to changing their identity in physical appearance, also seek recognition of all their rights, including access to health services, the exercise of a professional activity and all the development of their personal activities, where their identification documents do not represent an obstacle.
