For the true good of children

Demanding the full transcription of birth certificates for those born from surrogacy and other assisted fertilisation practices, rejecting the path of adoption by 'intended' parent (stepchild) indicated by the Court of Cassation and validated in these hours by the European Court of Human Rights, harms minors in the first instance. And deprives them of those rights they claim to want to defend: our communiqué

We at Network for the Inviolability of the Female Body, RadFem Italy and FINAARGIT ((International feminist network against all artificial reproduction, gender ideology and transhumanism)) with the support of all associations worldwide that oppose so-called gestation for others, from Ciams to Stop Surrogacy Now, and by eminent personalities of international feminism such as Sylviane Agacinski, Gena Corea, Phyllis Chesler and Jennifer Lahl

- We reiterate our condemnation of the practice and we renew our wish that the uterus for rent law 'universal offence'currently being debated in the House, be approved with the broadest consensus and as quickly as possible

- We also express great concern about the increasing use by female couples of the ROPA technique - Recepción de ovocitos de la pareja- i.e. the transfer of the fertilised oocyte of the one into the womb of the other that will conduct the gestation, a technique that gives substance to a hallucinatory fantasy of homo-fecundity by putting physical and psychological health of both women and child at risk

- We invite heterosexual and homosexual couples who have used surrogacy, as well as women's couples who have undergone heterologous fertilisation abroad, or Ropa, or have conceived naturally and who also wish recognition for the 'intended mother' (as is the case of 33 couples from Padua whose birth certificates were challenged by the Public Prosecutor's Office) to address the Juvenile Courts with the utmost urgency for the sake of the children -which we all hold dear- in order to initiate the paperwork for adoption in special cases (or stepchild adoption, perfectly legitimising), the path indicated for these cases by the United Sections of the Supreme Court of Cassation (30 December 2022, No. 38162). In these hours the ECHR, European Court of Human Rights, reiterated that thehe adoption route in special cases is a perfectly reasonable option to protect children and their emotional relationship with the 'intended' parent. We also hope that adoption procedures can be completed as quickly as possible, compatible with the primary interest which is the protection of the child. Not having access to the possibility of adoption (stepchild) is in the children's best interests

- We believe that once the 'universal offence' uterus for rent law is finally passed, making the ban effective and substantial, it may be appropriate to an 'amnesty' measure offering a legal solution for children who have already come to the world via GPA or other assisted fertilisation techniques by heterosexual or same-sex couples and whose relationship with the 'intended' parent is still pending.

Even America puts the brakes on hormones for 'trans' children
The first lawsuits are being filed in the USA by young people treated with puberty blockers and hormones who have seen their condition worsen. And the AAP -Association of American Paediatricians- announces the revision of its own guidelines, which to date have been favourable to these treatments. Meanwhile, research shows that so-called 'affirmative therapy' does not improve the situation of young people with dysphoria at all. On the contrary, they feel better when they discontinue it
Throughout the western world, the so-called gender affirmative therapy for minors (puberty blockers followed by cross-sex hormones and surgery) has long been the subject of heavy criticism by doctors and experts, even those who regret having prescribed it, who point out its dangerousness and ineffectiveness: some have said that in the future we will talk about it as one of the biggest scandals in the history of medicine, comparable to the use of lobotomy on 50,000 psychiatric patients in the middle of the century [...].

Misogynists out of public service
Teo Mammucari's engagement on 'Dancing with the Stars', starring in one of the most offensive shows ever against women, with a 'mute assistant' -Flavia Vento- boxed in plexiglas and methodically mocked, casts doubt on RAI's effective commitment against violence and machismo. And it obliges citizens to contribute to the cachet of those who have offered such a degrading image of women
To the RAI Board of Directors to the President MARINELLA SOLDI to the CEO ROBERTO SERGIO to the RAI Parliamentary Supervisory Commission The feminicide of Giulia Cecchettin marked a point of no return in the collective conscience on male violence: the only possible precedent is the Circeo crime. RAI represented this moment of pain and political awareness by manifesting its intention to mobilise permanently against misogyny and machismo. For this reason we are surprised, offended and saddened by the engagement to [...].

Born of a surrogate mother
Olivia Maurel, 32, was born to a surrogate mother and today she is fighting on the front line against the practice, which she describes as 'atrocious' and 'monstrous'. She always knew something was wrong with her family. She suffers from depression, has had problems with alcoholism and has attempted suicide several times. Only recently has she discovered the truth about her origins and that she suffered the trauma of abandonment. "To no child," she says, "should what happened to me ever happen again."
Commercial or 'altruistic' surrogacy must be abolished. These are the words of Olivia Maurel, born in December 1991 in Kentucky by traditional surrogacy (i.e. in which the oocyte also belongs to the 'surrogate mother', ed.), who recounted her experience in a conference at the parliament of the Czech Republic. Today, married with two children in Cannes, 'proud to be a feminist' as we read on her X page, she fights against surrogacy. Her testimony, very valuable as there are still very few [...]

British academics against cancel culture
On 20 November, the London Universities Council for Academic Freedom will be unveiled, a body that brings together a hundred or so professors from the major British universities with the intention of fighting against the censorship and single-mindedness that in recent years have impeded academic debate and freedom, compromising the education of thousands of students. In the crosshairs especially Lgbtq+ realities such as Stonewall that have heavily influenced university and higher education. About time, and go on!
As reported by The Telegraph, more than a hundred academics from the UK's top universities have joined forces to tackle the growing threat of cancel culture through the creation of a new body dedicated to academic freedom. In a pioneering initiative, the scholars have formed the 'London Universities Council for Academic Freedom', involving all academic institutions in the capital including University College London (UCL), King's College London, [...]

13 November in The Hague against surrogacy
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
The International Coalition to Abolish Surrogacy (ICASM) organised an international demonstration in front of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) on 13 November to oppose the regulation of cross-border 'surrogacy'. Indeed, attempts are being made to impose international regulation of so-called 'surrogacy': as of 13 November, the HCCH will set up a working group with the task of drafting a convention to allow cross-border recognition of contracts. This is to meet the growing demand in the biomarket [...]

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 [...]
