Women in the Spanish military reportedly receive a range of benefits based on their gender, including pay increases, better pensions and better sleeping conditions. A small group of male soldiers has come up with a novel way to address this systemic inequality. It’s about claiming to be a woman.
according to According to Spanish newspaper El Español, male soldiers have started taking advantage of it.transformer lawDespite strong opposition from conservatives and feminists, Socialist Party MPs managed to pass the bill in early 2023.
Under the new law, men will no longer have to undergo two years of cross-sex hormones or medical evaluations to call themselves “women.” Now, they just have to fill out some paperwork and formally request that their ID card and passport reflect their desired gender identity.

highlighted How the passage of this law coincided with the rollout of additional benefits for women in the military and security forces as a means of promoting the recruitment of women.
Ostensibly seeking to exploit one law to reap the benefits of the other, 41 men legally changed their gender identity in the Spanish colony of Ceuta in North Africa last year. The majority of these newly minted “women” serve in the military or police. El Espanol newspaper said only four of the men had attempted to legally change their names, and there was no evidence that any of them had changed their marital status.
One of the men currently listed as female in official documents is Roberto Perdigones, a 35-year-old corporal in the army stationed in Ceuta. Perdigones has a beard, penises, a biological son, and a strong physical attraction to women.
Perdigones told a Spanish newspaper: “Externally I feel like a straight man, but inside I’m a lesbian. It’s the latter that matters. This is why I changed the law to become a woman.” ” he said.
Perdigones pointed out that “affirmative action” encourages men to switch their gender on paper.
Since identifying as a woman for the first time last year, he claims he has an improved bedroom, a private bathroom and a higher salary.
“I was told that because I changed my gender, my pension increased because women get more to compensate for the inequality,” Perdigones told El Español. “Becoming a mother has also increased my salary by 15 percent.”
“I also have a private room in the barracks with a private bathroom,” the Corporal continued. “This is because I can’t be with a man because I’m a woman, and I didn’t think it was appropriate to be with a man out of respect for biological women.”
In addition to better accommodation and pay, Perdigones do not have to abide by the hair and jewelry restrictions imposed on male soldiers.
Outside the military, Perdigones told the newspaper there are additional benefits. First, when applying for various police and security roles, he only needs to meet the requirements set out in a female-specific physical exam, which reportedly tends to be less stringent. Her status as a woman also gives her an opportunity to fight a custody battle over her son.
An anonymous employee of the Spanish Civil Guard, one of Spain’s two national police forces, told a Spanish newspaper that some of his colleagues were exploiting the “trans law” as “a kind of rebellion” against these leftist policies. he said.
“We have already seen a few cases among our colleagues, but we will see more as there are quite a few people who have applied and are going through the process,” the officer said. “So in some cases, that number could be even higher.”
