For your information, here is the entire text of the so-called Ley Trans, which is currently being discussed in Spain.with a rift also in the government majorityon the one hand the proponents of Podemos, led by the Minister of Igualdad Irene Montero and deaf to every objection, on the other hand the Psoe opposing noting many critical issues. Together with the text of the proposed law we publish the timely and reasoned objections of the Contra Borrado feminists (almost 150 associations tenaciously opposing it) and their counter-proposal.

The texts are too long to be sent in translation, but are also easily understandable for those interested in following the issue in detail.

In summary: current Spanish law stipulates that changing one's gender identity on an identity document requires at least two years of hormone treatment and a medical or psychological diagnosis certifying so-called 'gender dysphoria' (law 164/82 regulating this issue in Italy, updated by subsequent rulings, provides for a similar path).

The new Spanish bill provides for self-determination (self-id) of one's gender identity over the age of 16 without the need for certificates attesting to gender dysphoria or the need for "changes in the person's appearance or body functions through medical, surgical or other procedures". The draft law provides for "the free declaration of the person concerned is sufficient"It also recognises non-binary identities, admitting that people who do not identify themselves as a man or a woman are not allowed to identify themselves as a man or a woman. may also not indicate their gender on their identity card.

The new law also allows access to assisted reproductive treatment for 'trans people with gestational capacity'.It also provides for the possibility of using cryopreservation techniques for sperm or reproductive cells of people undergoing hormone treatment.

Sanchez's Psoe contested the bill stating that "the so-called right to free determination of gender identity or right to gender self-determination lacks legal rationality".

At the bottom of the two Spanish documents - Podemos' bill and Contra Borrado's opposition - you will also find the Italian bill of the same tenor proposed by the Trans Identity Movement. 

La Zan law against homobi-transphobia currently only approved in the House is the antechamber to an Italian trans law, keeping the concept of free gender identity at the centre.

Finally, there is the very important fact that in the UK, the home of transactivism, self-id has been definitively rejected by the government. and was free gender identity propaganda stopped in schoolsAt self-id, according to a survey published by The Times96% of the British people oppose it. There is no reason to think that Spaniards and Italians view it more favourably. 

So Spain, and eventually Italy, risk importing a product that has already expired and has been rejected by its creator..

Israel 7 October: Appeal for recognition as mass feminicide
The women victims of the Hamas attack were not killed like all other civilians: they were exposed naked, raped, brutalised, humiliated, decapitated, their bodies burnt and torn to pieces. "We wanted to dirty them," say the terrorists. The violence against these women meets the definition of mass feminicide: from France a petition to international NGOs

The Private International Law Conference is pushing for transnational recognition of gestation per se contracts with the intention of forcing national legislation to benefit biomarket profits. The Icams coalition against GPA organised a demonstration in defence of women's dignity and against the market in girls and children

No more drugs for children with gender dysphoria!
For many years a pioneer of puberty blocker and hormone-based treatments for 'gender non-conforming' minors, Finnish psychiatrist Riittakerttu Kaltiala now denounces these 'therapies' as dangerous, useless and lacking in scientific evidence. And she calls on doctors around the world to find the courage to break the silence imposed by activist censorship and the media's rubber wall
In Italy there persists an obstinate silence on pharmacological treatments for minors with gender dysphoria (puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, 'gender reassignment' surgery) according to the protocol of so-called gender affirmative therapy. It is not possible to know how many minors have been treated or are undergoing treatment, in how many and which centres they are treated and with what 'success' (or failure) rates. While throughout the Western world the debate has been open for some time and in some countries [...]

This History must end
War is not an invention of women. War reduces us to prey and makes us dumb things. Positioning ourselves -on this side or that side- does not give us peace. Peace is not the interval between one war and another. Peace is not helplessness but an active force that regulates relationships and settles conflicts. We demand that rebellious children recognise their mother's authority and shirk the obligation of acts of domination and overpowering
'War has always been the specific activity of the male and his model of virile behaviour'. Carla Lonzi, Manifesto of Women's Revolt, 1970 War is not our invention, nor is that desperate form of war that is terrorism. Positioning ourselves -on this side or that side- does not give us peace, it disorients and divides us, but we are not allowed any other movement than to seek refuge in an impossible extraneousness. We recognise ourselves with pain in the 'enemy'. [...]
