There are already 73 transgender students who have registered with their social name for the process of transferring the UAP to be held on November 26th and 27th. This is due to the joint work developed by the Department of Evaluation, Measurement and Registration Studies (Demre) of the University of Chile with the Iguales Foundation. From now on, in the UAP registration form, the option appears for young people whose gender identity does not match that shown on their identity card.
For his part, the director of education of the Iguales Foundation, Isabel Amor, he argued in an interview with El Mercurio, saying that the name of the registration of A transgender student during the "UPE" generates obvious stress and unnecessary tension in the room. "
"It's a small step forward which must be the recognition and protection of the right to identity (…) It's our contribution to what we can do" , said Demre's lawyer, Daniela Montecino, in the same media.

However, scores and applications to higher education institutions will continue to be listed under the name checked in. This shows that it is still necessary to advance the inclusion of transgender people.
With regard to the latter, the representative of Equuales indicated that there were outstanding issues pending the entry into gender identity. "This is further proof that we need, more than mere wills, legal structures that allow us to make the corresponding changes as soon as possible," he said.
