Man asks to change gender to retire early

Sergio Lazarovich has become a topic of discussion across South America after he took advantage of Argentina's Gender Identity Law to change his name to "Sergia" and register as a woman so he could retire five years early. Instead of retiring at 65, Sergio transformed into a woman so he could retire at 60, according to Argentine law.

However, Sergio's plans were leaked to the media by a relative who said Sergio had only had sex with women his entire life and even continued to have sex with women after applying for a gender change.

"He had many relationships, all with women. The longest was with the woman who gave birth to his two children. That relationship lasted 20-25 years until they divorced. After that, he loved many other women, some fleetingly, some longer," an anonymous relative of Sergio revealed to the newspaper.Salt Information"I never felt he was attracted to men and he even made many unkind comments about gay and transgender people."

According to Sergio's relatives, the law that allows women to retire earlier than men is unfair to Sergio. This thought prompted Sergio to decide to become "Sergia". He complained about this to his friends and family many times and then planned to do it.

"He even consulted a lawyer. The original plan was to file a complaint with the State about discrimination in the pension scheme. If he won, he could retire early, but the complaint could take years and there was no guarantee that the court would support it, so he switched to the plan of becoming a woman."

When asked why they presented evidence against Sergio, his relatives said it was because they felt Sergio was exploiting the law to achieve his selfish goals."The gender identity law is very good and protects transgender people. Just because there are some bad apples spoiling the bunch doesn't mean the law is wrong," he said.

After the story went viral, Sergio issued a statement accusing the media of lying and advising reporters to investigate further before reporting the story. Sergio admitted to changing his name to Sergia and his gender from male to female on his ID, but said it was for personal reasons that he did not want to explain. However, when answering the newspaperThe Tribuneo Regarding the controversy surrounding his motives, Sergio said: "This would be nothing if everyone retired at 65."

The head of Argentina's civil registry confirmed that Sergio had legally changed his name and gender, adding that the country's gender identity law does not require transgender people to have undergone surgery or hormone injections to verify their gender.

Sergia has not yet applied for early retirement with the Argentine Social Security Administration (ANSES), but Sergia's relatives believe that this is something that will happen sooner or later.
