Hillary Clinton: if we keep talking about trans people we will lose the election

Interviewed by the Financial Times she admits that there are other priorities and that if they continue along this path the Democrats will lose the presidency, starting with the midterm in November. A resounding turnaround in the hope of salvaging what can be saved. Will the western democratic parties -starting with the PD- follow the gender critical change of course?

For the first time in years, American Democrats break the taboo: they do so with none other than the authoritative voice of the former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to whom continuing to talk about trans people will risk defeat for progressives.

The interview is published in the Financial Times. Question Edward Luce: "The Democrats seem to be doing everything to lose the election by holding up activist causes - in particular the transgender debate - which is only relevant to a small minority. What is the point of painting JK Rowling as a fascist?".

Clinton replies: "We are at great risk of losing democracy and everything that interests everyone else stays outside the window. The most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that everything that does not help you win should not be a priority'.

Hillary does not go directly into the matter, but sounds the alarm: either we change our tune -particularly the one orchestrated by the Biden-Harris duo, who keep trans issues high on their agenda-. or we crash. Ergo, it is time to change course. And if she says so, it is because the leadership of the US Democratic Party has instructed her to do so, believing that it is time to give a clear signal for a change of course. And he instructs Hillary to reassure the female electorate in particular: it is women who suffer the heaviest consequences of transactivist policies.

It may be that the turnaround will come late - although the clues from the liberal front are increasingly numerous, especially on the New York Times who recently published a self-critical editorial and is concerned about the epidemic of transitions among teenagers-, but it certainly is a turning point that will not remain without political consequences.

Probably Democrats tremble over the midterm November, and have given themselves a few months to get things back on track. It is theadmission of a strategic error, and finally of the understanding that the gender criticism is by no means in the minority and that there is growing intolerance.

In the hope that the progressive parties in the rest of the West, starting with Labour in England and the Italian PD 'either Zan or death' quickly tune in to the historical news.

 Italian Society of Paediatrics: stopping puberty in dysphoric children does not cause permanent problems. But several studies prove otherwise
 UK, Sweden, Finland, USA: much of the world is up in arms against puberty blockers that can irreversibly damage the health of girls and boys. The Tavistock clinic in London is closing down, a thousand families are preparing for a class action in defence of their daughters and sons who have not been properly treated, many American paediatricians are attacking their trade association which is pushing for the administration of these drugs. But for the Italian paediatricians' society these problems do not exist
 According to the Italian Society of Paediatrics, the effects of puberty blockers used to treat girls and boys with gender dysphoria are perfectly REVERSIBLE: this means that if the girl/boy changes her mind about her intention to 'change sex' and suspends the 'therapy', her development will resume normally, without any definitive effects and/or health problems. This is not the case at all. The effects of puberty blocker therapy are by no means 'completely reversible', as has been demonstrated by several [...]

 California, transfusion of children
 The American state proposes itself as a 'health' tourism destination for minors who are unable to access transition where they live. Exempting the parents and relieving the operators of any risk of litigation in the event of subsequent 'repentance'. Meanwhile in the UK, after the closure of the Tavistock, eyes are on a Scottish clinic where the experimental model (puberty blockers and surgery) continues to be applied
 There is a real war going on in the United States over the ideology of gender identity and its promotion in schools. A 'culture war' pitting the elites, who fund and promote gender ideology, against the ordinary people who oppose it (see the Disney case here). While Biden from day one has made many legislative concessions to trans activism at the federal level, the Republicans have intercepted the discontent of the citizenry with various counter-legislation at the state level, such as [...]

 Worker yes. Minister no. Woman neither
 If there is one thing Italian politicians all agree on, it is the erasure of women, starting with language. While the 'progressive' left erases us with asterisks and schwa -fake-inclusive language that returns everything to the masculine- the right refuses to use the feminine for women of authority in institutions. But words are important because they make reality
 Incredibly -and with a secret vote, wickedly conceded by President Casellati- a few days ago, the Senate rejected the Maiorino amendment authorising women in the institutions to be called by their names. This issue has profound political relevance. Many poets over the centuries have made use of poetic licences, i.e. intentional grammatical, metrical and syntactic errors with the intention of emphasising a concept or altering the sonority of the composition. On 27 July 2022 at Palazzo Madama is [...]

 The ideology of gender identity under attack in UK: NHS orders closure of paediatric transition clinic and points the way to psychological therapies. And Allison Bailey wins employment tribunal case backed by JK Rowling: employer ordered to compensate her for putting her 'under investigation' because of her gender critical views.

 Argentina: stop neutral language in schools
 E' was the first country to introduce gender self-identification. Ten years later it is among the first to ban neutral language in schools as it is 'not even that inclusive: it creates a barrier for children with learning difficulties'
 In 2012, Argentina was the first country in the world to introduce self-id or gender self-identification into its legal system. Ten years later, it is one of the first countries to ban neutral language in schools. As taught by the mothers of radical feminism and difference thinking, the neutral is a red herring that actually brings the male point of view back to the centre. If the illusion of the neutral is less noticeable in the English language, it is immediately [...]

 Open field, closed lists
 The tiger's eye does not want to see that you can reassemble and recombine the line-up all you want, but if the faces and names remain the same you have very little credibility. And if the only goal recognisable to most of the electorate is to bar the way for your political opponent - for once a woman, which makes it all the more surreal - your chances of success are not very good.
 Work is in progress on the construction of the large rassemblement or open camp (the wide one has been discontinued). The discussion is only between men (with the partial exception of Emma Bonino) and the cement that holds the coalition project together is 'stopping Meloni': there is little discussion of political programmes, and what Calenda, Fratoianni and Di Maio may have in common is all to be understood. Observers and sociologists of politics scoff to point out that building a project 'against' [...].
