Comment on Spanish soldiers changing gender to female for added benefits, higher payparent

Comments

Perhaps it is for the better. The law forces Spanish society to think hard about subjects of equality and fairness between men and women, in addition to trans people.

One of the people in the article changed their gender in order to increase the odds of gaining custody over their child. Others get an immediate 15% salary increase now that they are officially female.

Its not 'one' person or a few. There are a lot of men who are doing it in Spain right now. For years, the courts have been heavily favoring the mothers and in most cases stripping most rights from the fathers. Now the fathers found this loophole and a lot of them are using it.

Wonder if it's a tactic recommended by their divorce / family lawyers these days?

Yes, it actually is. Its not only recommended by lawyers, family, relatives and friends also recommend it to each other.
