The Spanish principality has proposed to introduce a law to regulate how trans people can access treatment for gender dysphoria. At the moment there is no specific law regulating trans access to medical treatment in the region in northwest Spain,
Asturias is one of the seventeen Spanish autonomous communities and one of the few without a trans law. As in the rest of Spain, trans people can legally change their gender without undergoing surgery. However, the applicant needs to have a gender dysphoria diagnosis and have undergone hormonal treatment for at least two years.
