René Salinas Ramos is a man who wants to take advantage of the laws in his favor, since he did not hesitate to change his gender to female on his identification card to fight under equal circumstances for the custody of his daughters.
The father has made it clear that he did not do it because of a sexual tendency, but because he intends to set a legal precedent that allows him to have more chances of obtaining custody of his girls, since now his identification indicates that he is also a mother.
As reported by the local newspaper The universe, The controversial case occurred in Cuenca, a city in southern Ecuador, where the young father made a radical decision by going to the Azuay Civil Registry to change his gender from male to female.
After the process, the man obtained an official document that now accredits him as a woman. Although René has expressed that he did not do it because he doubts her sexuality, but because he wants to fight against a system that has always prioritized the care of minors to mothers, often without taking into account the circumstances of each case. .
René Salinas has two daughters, one of whom he did not see for a year and a half, while the other little girl, according to the man’s testimony, suffers constant physical abuse. That is why she requested custody of her, but the response from the authorities has been that while the case is not resolved, the minors must remain with her mother.
For this reason, René came up with the idea of becoming a woman so that the law also considers him as a mother. The father stated that this is a proof of love for his little ones, since he assures that the laws are taking away men’s right to be fathers, since they only consider the male a provider.
Ecuadorian citizen changed his gender to female to fight for custody of his daughters. “My actions are not against anyone in particular, but against the system,” said Rene Salinas, who renounced her male gender at the Cuenca Civil Registry.

Now I am also a mother. That’s how I consider myself. I am very sure of my sexuality. What I have sought is to give the love and protection that a mother can give her children.
