This time it is: in the skin of children

Against the ruling of the Court of Cassation, which prevents the full transcription of birth certificates of children born from surrogacy by allowing only the biological parent to be named and indicating stepchild adoption for his or her partner, some male couples in Milan are undertaking a new form of resistance: not even registering the biological parent - or both or neither - leaving the child in an administrative limbo in which, in this case, he or she would be deprived of the most elementary rights, from paediatrician to school

After the Prefecture of Milan, in application of a judgment of the Court of Cassation, has blocked transcripts of full birth certificates of children born on the initiative of same-sex couples - pointing the way to the transcription of only the biological parent and for his or her partner the stepchild adoption, or adoption in special cases, perfectly legitimising- at the municipality of Milan this would be the case, according to the PD Vice-President of the City Council, Roberta Osculati:

male couples -or at least some couples of men- in arriving in the city with a child born of a surrogate in the USA or Canada, they would choose NOT to transcribe the biological parent either. Therefore, the child would not be transcribed at the Italian registry office, remaining with only the American or Canadian birth certificate that transcribes both the biological parent and his or her partner as fathers.

The logic is 'either both or neither': there is in fact no way, without the couple's consent, to know which of the two is the biological parent.

This implies -in this case yes- that the child does not have the rights of all other children in this country: so would not have a paediatrician or be able to go to school as long as it has not been transcribed at the registry office. If, on the other hand, the biological parent were transcribed, all these rights would be guaranteed.

This form of resistance-fighting, to force the hand of the legislator in order to introduce the automatic transcription of full birth certificates with both fathers, would then take place at the expense of the child.

It is worth remembering that stepchild adoption -recently amended in an ameliorative sense and therefore fully legitimate- was among the demands of the promoters of the civil unions law: back then, it was 2016, it did not find a majority to support it. But now that the Supreme Court has indicated it as the way forward for the children of 'homogenous' couples apparently no longer suffices. In the skin of children.

Spain: woke sex also among the reasons for the end of Podemos
Ley Trans. Only Yes is Yes' law that reduced penalties for sex offenders. And now also a Manifesto for Sex Education for All* that jeopardises the safety of girls and boys. The spirit is always the same: a queer sexuality promoted by outgoing minister Irene Montero. Which, however, voters and electors apparently do not like. An analysis by lecturer Juana Gallego, feminist affected by the cancel culture
In yesterday's local elections in Spain, the left lost disastrously - as in Italy, for that matter. In particular, there was the stinging defeat of Podemos, which in many regions almost went extinct. In the analyses of the Spanish vote, perhaps not enough emphasis is given to two manifesto-laws of Podemos, and in particular of the transfeminist minister Irene Montero: the 'Only Yes is Yes' law, which reduced penalties for sexual crimes, and the Ley Trans, which [...]

The Istanbul Convention belongs to women! The Right does not obstruct Europe's ratification
By abstaining from yesterday's vote, preliminary to the European accession to the most important treaty against violence against women, the MEPs of the Lega and Fratelli d'Italia gave in to the pressure of the Pro Vita, who read that document as anti-family and pro-gender (the same concerns expressed by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan). But Italy has already acceded to the Convention and apparently this is not the government's orientation. And Lgbtq claims have nothing to do with it. Women between two misogynist fires: religious extremism and queer instrumentalisation
Yesterday, a resolution was passed in Europe calling on the EU to accede to the Istanbul Convention (2011), the most important international treaty -legally binding- against violence against women and domestic violence. Italy has already ratified the Convention in 2013, while 6 European countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia) have not yet done so. Yesterday's vote is preliminary to the accession of the entire EU to the Convention. Incredibly, the MEPs of Fratelli d'Italia and the Lega abstained from the vote. [...]

GERMANY WILL ALSO HAVE ITS OWN TRANS LEY
The Bundestag is preparing to vote on a proposal modelled on the horrible Spanish law that allows free choice of gender even for minors with a simple self-declaration at the registry office (in addition to the possibility of changing one's mind several times). Also in the front line here is a left-wing woman counterpart of Irene Montero: the Green Minister for Women's Affairs Lisa Paus. But the opinion of the Federal Constitutional Court, which expresses many doubts about the deletion of the category 'sex', will be needed.
What is a woman? The answer that Justice Minister Buschmann (FDP, Liberal Democratic Party) and Women's Affairs Minister Lisa Paus (Greens, pictured) give to this question is: a woman is anyone who claims to be a woman. This is the core of the 'bill on self-determination in gender registration' that both ministries have now presented. With a simple declaration at the registry office, everyone will in future be able to change their sex: from male to [...]

The 'wheel' is not enough: help for mothers who wish to be mothers
Cots for life and the possibility of giving birth anonymously are very important. But the note left by the mother of Noemi, the baby left at the Red Cross headquarters in Bergamo, speaks of a desire that circumstances have made impracticable. What is needed is a place where, when they want to be mothers, women in difficulty can find all the support and assistance they need
The little girl left by her mother in the Cradle for Life in Bergamo - once called Ruota - has been given the name Noemi. Noemi will soon have a family and a home, and for her we wish 'all the good and happiness in the world', as her mother wished in a touching note that in just a few lines succeeds in recounting a life: 'Born this morning 3/5/2023, at home. Just me and her as in these 9 months. I can't, but [...]

Baby Fair in Milan: something to hide?
A strict and detailed code of conduct imposed on those attending Wish for a Baby, an assisted reproduction exhibition. Strictly personal badges, a ban on filming and handing out flyers, the threat of expulsion, even appropriate clothing, bag searches and scanners. And uniformed or plainclothes policemen to keep watch. Why so much caution? Isn't this just an information event on the various techniques? Perhaps there will also be talk of surrogacy, the propaganda of which is a crime in Italy? Or are they just trying to frighten off those who intend to be there to peacefully protest against the reproduction market?
Those who have registered for the Wish for a Baby fair scheduled to take place on 20-21 May in Milan have received in the last few hours this strict and detailed code of conduct that they will have to strictly adhere to if they want to be admitted to the event. But if it is, as the website explains, a 'celebration of new life', meeting 'the best fertility experts from around the world', 'attending seminars' and obtaining information, why all these [...]

UK: 'Our children indoctrinated at school'. Parents of 'trans' children sue government
"You have ruined our children': families of minors who declare themselves to be 'of the opposite sex' are suing the British Department of Education for allowing trans-indoctrination in schools by Stonewall and other powerful LGBT organisations -the same propaganda that we would have liked to introduce with the Zan bill-. And for not having been informed in time about the children's discomfort. The initiative could sweep over the British government like an avalanche, which is running for cover by ordering an independent enquiry and drawing up new guidelines.
A group of parents of so-called 'trans children' are suing the UK Department of Education for steering their children towards the devastating medical transition. Specifically, the parents accuse the ministry of failing to provide guidance to teachers and doing nothing to prevent a 'harmful' gender ideology, pushed by LGBT pressure groups, from taking hold in thousands of schools. We have spoken about transpropaganda in schools many times: for more see here, and [...]
