Abstract
This contribution will address the shown inconsistency with regard to the mental health field of the Spanish Ministry for Equality's Law 4/2023, which affects people with sexual diversity. In order to provide a context for it, an extensive, non-systematic search of related scientific articles was undertaken, mainly in the MEDLINE and InDICEs-CSIC bibliographic databases. It will consider, in particular: (a) gender discordance as a sexual health diagnosis; (b) sexology, minority, and Spanish law; and (c) counter-conditional health interventions. The aforementioned law modifies the registration of the sex of children between the ages of 12 and 14, contrary to the criteria of the General Council of the Judiciary Eliminate (CGPJ), and classifies as a very serious offence the application of conversion treatment to those concerned. This law contradicts current global nosologies, nosographies, and nosotaxies that certain mental disorders can seriously distort the will of some people.
