An Ecuadorian man has changed his gender to help him win the custody of his daughters who currently live with their mother.
René Salinas Ramos, 47, is facing legal proceedings for the custody of his daughters.
Ramos told Ecuadorian news outlet La Voz del Tomebamba that the laws in his country favour mothers over fathers when it comes to children’s custody battles. So, he decided to legally change his gender.
His official documents now lists his gender identity as “FEMENINO” (female).
