Abstract

This article analyzes the consequences for the Colombian health system of the change of the sex variable in the ID of a transgender citizen who might legally identify with a sex while conserving its biology with another. From documental and exploratory research it was possible to conclude that the biological identity of people is what is relevant for the system given that it uses this information for health’s risks management and also for calculating the capitation income for the health promotion entities (EPS in Spanish), whereby this variable is highly suggested for the system.
