Overview

• The Constitutional Court has paused discussions on the Popular Party's appeal against the 2023 Ley Trans due to disagreements within the progressive bloc of justices.
• Magistrate Juan Carlos Campo's draft opinion largely upholds the law but proposes striking down two administrative sanctions and restricting medical interventions for intersex minors under 12.
• Progressive justices Inmaculada Montalbán and María Luisa Balaguer have expressed concerns, prompting the court to withdraw the draft for revisions and further dialogue.
• The appeal challenges the law's provisions on gender self-identification, claiming they undermine legal certainty, women's equality, and minors' rights.
• The court's final decision will have significant implications for transgender rights, legal definitions of gender, and the balance between individual autonomy and public interest in Spain.
