Executive orders, police policy and labor laws have been adjusted to include regulations on how to accommodate people based on their "gender identity". These new policies go against the Constitution of Puerto Rico, specifically Art. 1 & 2. There is a push to implement a "gender perspective" based education curriculum but conservative sectors have been vocal against gender ideology in schools. There is also a small group of transactivists that are pushing to allow "gender affirmative care" for minors. Bio: Born and raised on the Western coast of Puerto Rico, now living in Florida.
