Abstract

This contribution will address the shown inconsistency with regard to the mental health field of the Spanish Ministry for Equality's Law 4/2023, which affects people with sexual diversity. In order to provide a context for it, an extensive, non-systematic search of related scientific articles was undertaken, mainly in the MEDLINE and InDICEs-CSIC bibliographic databases. It will consider, in particular: (a) gender discordance as a sexual health diagnosis; (b) sexology, minority, and Spanish law; and (c) counter-conditional health interventions. The aforementioned law modifies the registration of the sex of children between the ages of 12 and 14, contrary to the criteria of the General Council of the Judiciary Eliminate (CGPJ), and classifies as a very serious offence the application of conversion treatment to those concerned. This law contradicts current global nosologies, nosographies, and nosotaxies that certain mental disorders can seriously distort the will of some people.

Keywords:
Counterconditioning
Gender diversity
Gender dysphoria
Gender identity
Minority of age
Sexuality
Resumen

En esta aportación se abordará la incoherencia manifestada respecto al ámbito de la salud mental de la Ley 4/2023, del Ministerio de Igualdad de España, que afecta a las personas con diversidad sexual. Para contextualizar la ley se ha realizado una búsqueda amplia, no sistemática, de artículos científicos relacionados, principalmente en las bases de datos bibliográficas MEDLINE e ÍnDICEs-CSIC. Se considerarán, en particular: a) la discordancia de género como diagnóstico relativo a la salud sexual; b) la sexología, minoría de edad y legislación española, y c) las intervenciones de salud contracondicionantes. La citada ley modifica la mención registral del sexo en sujetos de entre doce y catorce años, en contra del criterio del Consejo General del Poder Judicial, y califica de infracción muy grave aplicar tratamientos conversivos a los interesados. Dicha ley contradice las nosologías, nosografías y nosotaxias mundiales vigentes acerca de que determinados trastornos mentales pueden distorsionar gravemente la voluntad de algunas personas.

Palabras clave:
