In a surprising twist, a police officer in San Sebastián, Spain, has been accused of attempting to attack his partner with a knife.
The officer, who has been charged with making serious threats, had legally changed his gender to female in the civil registry last November under the 'Trans Law,' which allows such changes without medical treatment.
This has raised suspicions that the gender change might have been fraudulent, potentially to avoid charges related to gender-based violence.
The case is currently being investigated by the prosecution to determine if the change was made with malicious intent.
If proven, it could lead to the case being reclassified as gender-based violence, which carries different legal implications.
The officer's actions have sparked a broader discussion on the potential misuse of the 'Trans Law' and its implications for legal proceedings in cases of domestic violence.
