"Lawmakers in Argentina have approved a gender identity law that allows individuals to be recognized in official documents by the gender they choose. Argentinians have the right to be treated in accordance with their own gender identity, and the government is required to recognize it as well, the law states."

Excellent! I wonder if it applies to agendered, bi-gendered, polygendered, third gendered, and gender-fluid people. Does anyone have the actual law as it is written?

Good news. +1 for the right direction. Latin America is progressing out of its cultural (reactionary) attitudes in this field.
