The legal recognition of the gender identity that regulates the change of the "sex" field by the "gender" field in the Identity Document, is recognized for the first time in the legislative history of Ecuador in the Ley Orgánica de Gestión de la Identidad y Datos Civiles. Because of it, this Law has been considered an important milestone for the assertion of the rights of trans people. However, due to the hetero-normative, cisnormative and binary system rooted in Ecuadorian legislation, this law establishes restrictive and invasive regulations that pathologize identities that differ from what is considered traditionally "normal", thus violating the rights of these people. Therefore, these regulations must be analyzed in regard to the international human rights treaties and the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador.
