    You can change your name and sex/gender with the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), even if you have not changed them at the Civil Registry. This may be especially useful for people with a non-Spanish nationality who cannot change their name and sex/gender in their country (and also not in Spain with the Trans Law), or for non-binary people or other identities in Spain for which the Trans Law does not apply.

    Bandera no binaria con texto "El futuro no es binario" y "genderqueer"

    After more than three years, and more than five years of the recognition of the free determination of gender identity in Andalusia, in November 2019, I finally achieved exactly this: that the Andalusian Health Service recognized my gender identity outside the binary of man and woman, as, in my case 'indeterminate' (not to say 'genderqueer'). It has been a long and sometimes frustrating struggle.
