BUENOS AIRES – A transsexual who recently prevailed in a 10-year-long court battle to receive a new identity document recognizing her as a woman has been honored by lawmakers as Argentina's "Woman of the Year."
"I am what I am. The right of one person is the right of all," Marcela Romero said during Tuesday night's event in the Argentine Congress.
The honor was conferred by the lower house's committee on women and the family.
