translated from Spanish: Movilh and Senator Girardi consider bringing criminal proceedings against Isapre who discriminated against young trans

The Homosexual Integration and Liberation Movement, Movilh, and Senator Guido Girardo, a member of the Senate Health Committee and author of the Hate Law, noted that they are considering bringing criminal proceedings against Isapre Hive for discriminating against a transgender young person and a presentation in INHD for “human rights violations”, where they will also ask the Superintendency of Health to investigate and report whether there are more similar cases in other isapres. In relation to the above, the representative of the Movilh, Rolando Jiménez, commented that “the public discussion of the Gender Identity Act for seven years has run the barrier and the prejudices regarding that this (condition) is a pathology and it is not acceptable that the Isapres knowingly and being involved in the development of these regulations maintain these criteria to maximize profit”. The spokesman also told the spoke that “the discussion of the Gender Identity Act allowed trans people to become empowered and today we see how they arrive at the headquarters fathers and sisters with their children of seven or eight, 10, 15 years who want to accompany the processes of their sons in daughters”. Girardi stated that “the Isapre Hive violates Benjamin’s human rights by applying a clause that pathologizes his transsexuality and transforms gender identity, which is a personal choice, into a disease. In our view, this violates international and national standards such as the Zamudio Act.” The MP also mentioned that “it also applies a pre-existence and diminishes coverage for its transsexuality. The Movilh filed an appeal for protection and, unanimously, the Court of Appeal reinstated the rule of law.”
