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.

 Women attacked from left and right: the ash on the head of the New York Times
 As the organ of the liberals and woke culture, the great US newspaper has been undertaking a vigorous change of course for a few months now, admitting its own excesses and the misogyny of the new progressive course committed to wiping out women. While waiting for the self-critical wind to blow in Europe too
 by Pamela Paul Perhaps it makes sense that women - complacent and pleasant-looking creatures, selfless and just as pretty - were the ones who finally brought our polarised country together. Because the far right and the far left have found the one thing they can agree on: women don't matter. The position of the right is best known, the movement has been aggressively dedicated for decades to depriving women of basic rights. Thanks also to two judges [...]

 New England Journal of Medicine: abortion ban is a health catastrophe
 The prestigious magazine raises the alarm: it will be mainly poor and black women who will pay the price of the Supreme Court ruling, driven back into abortion with serious health risks. Even the morning-after pill and even the IUD could be banned and prosecuted as abortifacient means
 The US Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization represents an extraordinary reversal (...) Yet it was not unexpected. In the long and painful prelude to the decision, many states severely restricted access to reproductive health care. The fig leaf covering these restrictions was that induced abortion was a dangerous procedure that required stricter regulation to protect the health of women seeking such care. The facts belie this false rhetoric.  The latest data available in the United States [...]

 How they won the war against Roe
 Failure to turn Roe v. Wade into law was the capital mistake of the American left, starting with Barack Obama. Abortion was an entirely secondary issue for trans-politics-absorbed liberals, who have spent years erasing the word 'woman' by renaming it as 'menstruator' and 'uterus carrier', rather than addressing women's rights
 How did American pro-lifers win the war against Roe v. Wade? In the article of which we present you with extended excerpts, journalist Sarah Ditum explains how the Democrats' neglect and arrogance unwittingly helped set women's rights in America back 50 years. "When did it become certain that American women's right to abortion would be revoked? The Supreme Court's ruling that "Roe was terribly wrong from the start" leaked almost two months ago, [...]

 US midterm elections: will women be decisive after the abortion ruling?
 What will American women do now? Will they win solidarity among themselves, as they have always won in Italy over abortion? Or will they settle into opposing sides in a quasi-civil war? The November vote will be the first test. Women could form the strong core of that moderate front that cannot find political expression in the US
 What will American women do now? Will they win solidarity among themselves, as they have always won in Italy with regard to abortion, holding together Catholics and agnostics, left-wing and right-wing women in defence of law 194/78? Or will they settle into opposing camps, to put it mildly, the quasi-civil war underway in the United States? The midterm elections in November, with the Republicans as favourites, will be the first test: how many female voters, albeit [...].

 Trans issue: change of wind among progressives
 The 'la' is given by the American Democrats, but also in the rest of the West the trans-filia of the progressives is beginning to show signs of breaking down. Electoral opportunism, sure. But the change must be registered. Keeping our eyes wide open
 Michele Serra is a friend and I appreciate very much that he has taken it upon himself to break the silence from the left -finally- on the unbearable injustice of male bodies in women's sports (L'Amaca in La Repubblica yesterday, 22 June), an injustice against which we have been fighting for a long time (here you will find an infinity of texts on this subject). A note, if possible: I would have avoided using the woke cisgender definition, imposed by transactivism, and in which the vast majority of women in the world, athletes and non-athletes alike, [...].

 But women still exist
 We don't like the title too much, especially that laconic 'again', but thanks to La Repubblica for hosting our intervention in the debate that started with Michela Marzano's text entitled 'Se non è il sesso a fare la donna'. We republish it here because you cannot find it on'online
 Published in La Repubblica our text in the debate opened by Michela Marzano with her intervention on 'women with penises' and other wonders. We are keeping the original title that was given to our intervention so as not to cause confusion, even if we do not like it much. Here is the full text to follow. What is a woman? She is the one who brought us into the world, each and every one of us. Of this there can be no doubt. Which in no way means that [...]
