The Argentine transvestite-transsexual organization ALITT (Association for the Fight for Transvestite-Transsexual Identity) was denied governmental registration Sept. 23.
In rejecting the application, Justice Ministry Inspector General Ricardo Augusto Nissen wrote: 'I consider that the aims listed by ALITT ... do not fall into the category of 'public good' required of legally registered organizations under Article 33 of the Civil Code. It does not seem to me that 'to fight for recognition of transvestism as an identity by both society and the State' nor 'building transvestite-transsexual citizenship' offer a valuable framework for the development of coexistence.'
