Laura Massaro won for all

The most famous of the mothers under attack on the basis of the fictitious 'theory' of parental alienation has won her battle in the Court of Cassation, for herself and for all women in her situation: from now on, children can no longer be taken by force and it will no longer be so easy to talk about alienating mothers. It is also a symbolic victory, putting mothers back at the centre against all equalitarian rhetoric.

With Order No. 9691/2022, the Supreme Court of Cassation ruled in favour of Laura Massaro and banned parental alienation from the courts, defining the forced removal of minors, who must always be heard in proceedings concerning them, as being outside the rule of law.

A sensational judgment -thanks to Laura's courage and the outstanding work of the Lawyers Teresa Manente and Ilaria Bogliano- despite the bad omens and the harshness of the outcome of the appeal, not to mention the inadmissible attempts to discredit Laura "by 'prosecuting' her just 4 days ago in the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on child custody, meeting during which Massaro's ex-lawyer Giuseppe Apadula and his lawyer have repeatedly accused and condemned her by expressing opinions about her (the session was interrupted on the initiative of some of the parliamentarians present and despite protests by Senator Pillon). A sentence that constitutes a real turning point.

How will things go from now on for mothers in the same situation as Massaro?

Starting with the approval of the Law 54/2006 on 'mandatory' and 'equal' shared custody of children in separation cases, and on the other hand by the spread of the school of 'legal psychology which overturned the concept of the best interests of the childIt also identifies new pathological definitions for mothers and daughters who report violence and abuse in the family, the civil process for child custody has become an ordeal -see here- for many women forced to fight with lawyers, psychologists, social workers and all figures involved in juvenile and family law.

The order of the Supreme Court in the Massaro case brings justice to all protective mothers who in recent years have courageously started to denounce what they have suffered in cases of divorce and separations described as 'conflictual' but which in reality concealed situations of physical and psychological male violence and abuse of women and children.

The legal battle also seems never-ending, with Threats of recourse to the ECHR already received which in the past has often taken the side of fathers, who in the last twenty years have been the protagonists of a one-sided narrative that has portrayed them as the victims of separation. It will therefore be necessary not to lower the level of attention with regard to the field of law and judgements, a field in which many abusive men pursue their strategy called 'legal harassment' by world experts. harassment through the use of the law.

After the Supreme Court Order:
1. what will become of all daughters and sons estranged from their mothers in recent years as a result of social services reports or court orders drawn up along the lines of the theories close to parental alienation and as an abuse of the concept of 'the child's right to bigenitoriality'? An example for all, the mother of Baressa and dozens of other cases known to the press, and the thousands without names throughout Italy.
2. What we should expect as soon as the school year ends, period when executions of the European Commission's forced withdrawal measures?

The final judgement in the case of Massaro and his son, defining the forced removal as a measure 'not in conformity with the rule of law' as well as raising doubts about its 'compatibility with the protection of the dignity of the person'. certainly constitutes a point of no return. There will probably be other attempts to resort to the sham 'theory' of parental alienation, updating its definition or trying in some way to reintroduce it into proceedings, but the precedent of the Supreme Court is too strong.

It was a victory for Laura and the many mothers who have emerged from silence, united in diversity. There has been no lack of conflict, but the objective has been achievedone woman fought and won for the others and for the daughters and sons of all. A important symbolic goal: that of bringing the relationship between mother and child out of the 'equal' shoals and repositioning it at the centre of the human community.

It is the sense of what we name as a change of civilisation.

Petrillo: my body doesn't count, I want to use women's showers. And withdraws from the Torun World Championships for reasons of 'safety'
Winning competitions is not enough: Petrillo also claims to use the women's changing rooms after the Italian Athletics Federation at the request of female athletes decided on reserved spaces. "The state recognises me as a woman, male genitals don't count. Besides,' she sneers, 'it certainly won't be the first time they see them. In the meantime, she renounces the next world championships for 'security' reasons.
A few days ago, we published a report on the competition of Valentina born Fabrizio Petrillo in Ancona, with the reactions of the female athletes beaten by her male body. The female athletes made it clear that, although they respected Petrillo's personal journey, athletically they were not on a par and that they felt discriminated against. The statements made by the female athletes to the Feminist Post were taken up by other newspapers, including Il Giornale (here), and provoked comments from Petrillo, who had [...]

'We were wrong': pioneer of puberty blockers admits damage
Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist who founded a clinic for 'dysphoric' minors in the 1970s and an authority in this field today states that the switch from psychological therapy to drugs was a big mistake. Because their effects are severe and not reversible, because those treatments are 'authoritarian' and experimental. And because in 9 out of 10 cases children's dysphoria is only temporary and masks other disorders.
In an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, Dr Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist and a pioneer in the treatment of gender dysphoria in children, spoke out against the popular model of affirming children's transgender identities and treating them with puberty-blocking drugs, a practice she had participated in in the past. Bradley had opened a paediatric clinic in 1975 for children suffering from gender dysphoria, a profound sense of unease concerning the [...]

The men's ultracorp of the transatlete Petrillo continues to win everything. Opponents react
Valentina née Fabrizio once again outclassed her opponents in Ancona on 12 March. She now has eight master's titles, whereas before the transition - when she competed with the men - she had not even won one. Now she is preparing for the world championships. Here a summary of the races and statements from the athletes unjustly deprived of victory
Valentina born Fabrizio Petrillo, born in 1973, turns 50 this year and changes category in national masters athletics competitions. On 11 and 12 March in Ancona, she competed for the first time in the F50 category, i.e. with female athletes aged 50 to 54. And again, with her ultra-masculine body, she easily racked up trophies and records that used to belong to female athletes. But what is it like to see a live ultra-male body competing against female bodies? What are [...]

Prefect to Mayor Sala: stop registering children of same-sex couples
The decision makes those girls and boys more equal and not unequal as we read in many ideological comments today. Starting with the equal right to the truth about one's origins enshrined in all international conventions. And to the attribution of the same rights of citizenship granted to every new born: that is why
The prefect of Milan has ordered the mayor Beppe Sala to block the transcription of birth certificates of children born by same-sex couples. For example, it will no longer be possible to fully transcribe birth certificates produced abroad - in Ukraine, Canada, California, etc. - by surrogacy, which also applies to heterosexual couples who have undertaken this practice. We radical feminists had appealed to the prefect to order Mayor Sala to respect the [...]

PD primaries: transfeminist Elly Schlein wins
The young leader launches her OPA and wins it. By making the Democratic Party a woke formation, in line with western progressivism: di-rightism, free gender identity, uterus for rent, sex work. A challenge reminiscent of what is happening in Spain where radical feminism has divorced the Left
To begin with, congratulations to Elly Schlein and best wishes for her new post. Then the facts, as I see them. Elly Schlein's victory was a takeover of the PD: the vote in the gazebo, for the first time different from the one in the circles - also a historical novelty - shows that Schlein has mobilised the radical left to the limits of antagonism, as well as the 5 stars. She said it years ago: Occupy PD. Now she has done it. That she is supported by a major part [...].

Mental disorders in children: it's an epidemic. In parallel with the boom in 'gender dysphoria'
An American study reveals that psychological distress in adolescents has been on a growth spike since 2012 with different symptoms between males and females. And that almost always the idea of wanting to 'change sex' is accompanied by other problems. Loneliness, social networks, pornography: how savage marketing is destroying a generation
The silence on puberty blockers prescribed to girls and boys with gender non-conforming behaviour has finally been broken in Italy too. It has been broken mainly thanks to the efforts of radical feminists, parents' groups and Italian psychoanalysts who have written to the government (see here). The debate has also arrived on TV, with two recent episodes of Quarta Repubblica with interventions by Italian and foreign experts, from feminists Marina Terragni (here, from 1'46'') and Monica Ricci [...].
