1. Marriage and stable unions
Since 2013, registry offices throughout the country have been required to perform civil marriages between people of the same sex.
A stable union guarantees social security, inheritance and health insurance rights.
2. Chosen names and record amendments
Trans people can change their name and gender directly at a registry office, without surgery or a court ruling.
Chosen names must be respected in schools, public services and healthcare.
3. LGBTphobia is a crime
The STF has equated LGBTphobia with the crime of racism. Insults, assault and discrimination can be grounds for a police report.
Report the incident, keep evidence and contact the Delegacia de Crimes Raciais e Delitos de Intolerância, if there is one in your city, or Disque 100.
