In 2011, Di Tullio introduced a bill that would expand the right to self-determination for transgender people; the bill was drafted with support from the Federación Argentina de Lesbianas, Gays, Bi y Transexuales (FALGBT).{{cite web|url=https://directoriolegislativo.org/blog/2011/11/24/identidad-de-genero-tiene-dictamen-y-la-semana-que-viene-tendria-media-sancion/|work=Directorio Legislativo|title=Identidad de género tiene dictamen y la semana que viene tendría media sanción|date=24 November 2011|access-date=3 July 2021|language=es}} Di Tullio's bill was introduced at the same time as two other similar bill projects were introduced in the Chamber, the other two by Diana Conti (with support from the Comunidad Homosexual Argentina) and by opposition deputies Silvana Giúdici and Miguel Ángel Barrios. The three bills were eventually reformulated into one, which was passed by the Chamber on 30 November 2011.{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/media-sancion-al-proyecto-de-identidad-de-genero-nid1429023/|work=La Nación|title=Media sanción al proyecto de identidad de género|date=30 November 2011|access-date=3 July 2021|language=es}}
=National Senator=
In the 2017 legislative election, Di Tullio was the first alternate candidate in the Unidad Ciudadana list to the Argentine Senate in Buenos Aires Province; the list was headed by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and seconded by Jorge Taiana.{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2017/07/07/jorge-taiana-companero-de-formula-de-cristina-kirchner-a-la-corrupcion-hay-que-tenerle-tolerencia-cero/|work=Infobae|title=Jorge Taiana, compañero de fórmula de Cristina Kirchner: "A la corrupción hay que tenerle tolerancia cero"|date=7 July 2017|access-date=18 August 2021|language=es}} Unidad Ciudadana came second in the general election, with 37.31% of the vote. In the electoral system for the upper house, this meant that only Fernández de Kirchner was elected as the senator for the minority.{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-22/argentine-poll-shows-macri-ally-with-slim-lead-in-buenos-aires|title=Argentina's Macri Wins Big Endorsement in Midterm Elections|author=Charlie Devereux|date=22 October 2017|publisher=Bloomberg L.P.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223102021/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-22/argentine-poll-shows-macri-ally-with-slim-lead-in-buenos-aires|archive-date=23 December 2017|url-status=live|access-date=22 December 2017}} Taiana filled the vacancy left by Fernández de Kirchner being elected vice president in the 2019 general election.{{cite web |date=27 November 2019 |title=Juraron los 24 senadores electos y designaron a las nuevas autoridades |url=https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/201911/411690-juran-el-miercoles-los-24-senadores-electos-en-octubre-y-se-eligen-autoridades.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129112745/https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/201911/411690-juran-el-miercoles-los-24-senadores-electos-en-octubre-y-se-eligen-autoridades.html |archive-date=29 November 2019 |access-date=18 August 2021 |work=Télam |language=es}} In 2021, Taiana was sworn in as Defense Minister, and Di Tullio was then tapped to take his seat in the senate for the remainder of the 2017–2023 term.{{cite web|url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/362440-juliana-di-tullio-asumira-manana-como-senadora|work=Página/12|title=Juliana Di Tullio asumirá mañana como senadora|date=18 August 2021|access-date=18 August 2021|language=es}} She was sworn in on 19 August 2021.{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/juliana-di-tullio-asumio-en-el-senado-reemplazo-de-taiana-nid19082021/|work=La Nación|title=Juliana Di Tullio asumió en reemplazo de Taiana en el Senado|date=19 August 2021|access-date=19 August 2021|last=Ybarra|first=Gustavo|language=es}}
