Matrimonio igualitario, identidad de género y disputas por el derecho al aborto en Argentina. La política sexual durante el kirchnerismo (2003-2015)

Abstract

Resumen: Los gobiernos 'progresistas' (pink tide) en materia socioeconómica del Cono Sur no tienen la misma trayectoria en el avance de los derechos de las mujeres y colectivos LGBT. Lo distintivo de la política sexual de la Argentina (2003-2015) es la tensión entre el avance de la agenda de derechos de la diversidad sexual, con la aprobación de leyes como matrimonio igualitario e identidad de género, y los esfuerzos frustrados del feminismo por legalizar el derecho al aborto. Este artículo presenta un estudio comparativo de estos tres intentos de reformas normativas durante el período de gobierno conocido como kirchnerismo. El análisis empírico identifica cuatro dimensiones fundamentales que, en su combinación, abren oportunidades o generan resistencias al cambio normativo en políticas de género y sexualidad: los vínculos entre Poder Ejecutivo e Iglesia; la política de partidos en un sistema presidencialista; los marcos interpretativos de cada demanda; las formas organizativas y estrategias de las organizaciones que las promueven.

“…According to Laura Saldivia Menajovsky 28 , the history of the recognition of LGBTT rights in Argentina is part of a long process of formation of constitutional definitions shaped by interaction between civil society and national and international spheres. The country's Gender Identity Law was passed in 2012 as the result of a historical process of struggle, organization, and mobilization by trans activism 29,30 , materialized in the National Front for the Gender Identity Law, formed in 2010 to support its drafting and passage 26 . The process of passing this law in Argentina did not have the same media and political repercussions as other initiatives related to other LGBTT rights, as for example, equal marriage rights (passed in Argentina in 2010).…”

“…The process of passing this law in Argentina did not have the same media and political repercussions as other initiatives related to other LGBTT rights, as for example, equal marriage rights (passed in Argentina in 2010). Regulation of the law by Argentina's Ministry of Health took place some three years after its passage in 2015, which involved not only waiting, but intense mobilization by activists 26,31 .…”

“…La Ley de Identidad de Género argentina es resultado de procesos históricos de lucha, organización y movilización por parte del activismo trans en el país (Berkins, 2003;Berkins & Fernández, 2005). Ejemplar, en ese sentido, fue la actuación del Frente Nacional por la Ley de Identidad de Género, 4 creado en 2010, colaborando en su formulación y promoviendo su aprobación (Tabbush et al, 2016).…”

Sexual rights, Religion and Post-Neoliberalism in Argentina (2003–2015)

“…The liberalism of Kirchners' admnistrations became evident in the promotion of a comprehensive individual rights agenda. This agenda included antidiscrimination laws and policies, 5 rights of immigrants, 6 'dignified death' (against overtreatment, respect of personal directives), 7 and particularly some key gender, reproductive and sexual rights (Tabbush et al 2016). Under the Kirchners, the National Institute against Discrimination was active in relation to discrimination based on gender and sexuality in education and employment.…”
