A father has legally changed his gender identification in an attempt to
gain custody of his two young daughters following a bitter split from his
wife.
René Salinas Ramos, 47, is now listed as female on official documents in
his native Ecuador — despite the fact he still identifies as a cisgender
male in his everyday life.
The desperate dad claimed he made the drastic decision due to the justice
system in his country which he said typically benefits mothers in custody
cases.
“Being a father in this country, Ecuador, is punished and I’m only seen as
a provider,” Ramos told local outlet La Voz del Tomebamba. “What I have
been looking for is to give the love and protection that a mother can give
her children.”
Ramos alleged that his daughters currently live in an abusive environment
with their mother — and claimed he hasn’t seen his children in more than
five months.
“The laws say that the one who has the right is the woman. As of this
moment, I am female. Now I’m also a mom, that’s how I consider myself,”
Ramos told media assembled outside the city of Cuenca’s Civil Registry
office on Dec. 30. “I am very sure of my sexuality. What I have sought is
that I want to be a mother, so that I can also give the love and
protection of a mother.”
However, his actions have angered activists across the country who fought
hard to have the law changed for genuine trans citizens. The Ecuadorian
Federation of LGBTI Organizations released a statement denouncing Ramos’
“outlandish” actions earlier this week.
“This man’s private matter, to obtain custody of his daughters, isn’t the
spirit of the law,” prominent trans activist Diane Rodríguez, Ecuador’s
first trans Assembly member and national director of the Ecuadorian
Federation of LGBTI Organizations, told VICE World News.
Rodríguez also told the outlet she first thought this was “fake news” —
but now “we are afraid that in the Assembly things will go backwards and
they will start legislating against us.”
Meanwhile, the custody battle between the dad and his ex-wife is ongoing.
“Until this matter is resolved, [the children] have to stay with their
mother,” Ramos said, as reported by Jam Press. “The law is taking away our
right to be parents. [Changing my official documents] is a proof of love.”
Ramos is Ecuador’s first reported case of a man taking advantage of the
change-of-gender laws in an attempt to give himself a leg-up in a custody
case.
In the US, laws regarding trans citizens changing their gender identity
differs according to state.
According to Bankrate, transgender individuals can legally change their
gender on their driver’s licenses in all 50 states — but the process can
be challenging. Some states require a birth certificate amendment and
proof of gender-affirming surgery.
Last September, Montana became the latest state to allow transgender
people to change the gender on their birth certificates following a
contentious legal battle.
Meanwhile, in California, a dad claims he lost custody of his son after he
questioned his transgender identity.
In a separate case, a Texas jury ruled against a father seeking custody of
his twin 7-year-old sons in his attempt to stop one of the boys from
changing his gender in 2019. That dad expressed concerns Thursday that his
ex-wife — pediatrician Dr. Anne Georgulas — will allow their son, now 9,
to be “chemically castrated.”
