Davide Paitone, a 40-year-old worker from Morazzone (Varese), is a violent man. He has already been accused of ill-treatment in the family, and is also a drunkard and incoherent. He had also stabbed a colleague after an argument and was therefore under house arrest. In spite of his violent temperament, he was allowed to keep his 7-year-old son Daniele with him for New Year's Eve. This concession was equivalent to a death sentence for the child, whose throat the father slit. After hiding the body [...]

Dear all, and also dear ones who read us, from my Milanese point of view I can state without fear of contradiction that practically all families - including my own, and including the many families made up of a single person - are currently affected by Covid, which will make this end of 2021 unforgettable. I can also state without fear of contradiction the sidereal distance between those who govern cities and territories and the problems of the citizens, at this time abandoned [...]

Reading the device with which the Public Prosecutor of Benevento asked the dismissal of the complaint of sexual violence of a woman against her husband, I found myself dealing with an unconscious feeling of compassion. Those words were printed inside me: the reported fact cannot be rape, says the prosecutor, because the man must "win that minimum of resistance that every woman, in the course of a stable and lasting relationship, in the fatigue of daily duties, [...]

from a post by Giovanni Dall'Orto The English Court of Appeal ruled this morning that the practice of filing as "non-crime hate incidents" criticism of transactivism or trans people infringes the European Convention on Human Rights (see here). The case arose after a trans activist reported to the police several tweets (including a foul-mouthed limerick) that she deemed "transphobic". The category of "non-illegal offences" had been invented by the police [...]

The Circolo della Rosa of Verona has organised a cycle of meetings on "gender issues", also starting from the conflicts that have arisen during the discussion of the Zan bill. Title of the cycle: "Gender and sexual difference. Looks and words in transition". "As Circolo della Rosa", it is explained, "we felt the need for a confrontation that makes it possible to abandon the logic of taking sides and invites listening, sharing, willingness to open up to the reasons of the other. For this, we have [...]

The decision of the English Supreme Court, which denies the transcription of gender-neutrality in passports, is particularly interesting because it gives precedence to the public interest over that of the person asking to be transcribed as non-binary. It says that while in one's personal relationships one can ask to be treated and named as one sees fit - with the agreement of the interlocutors - in public life gender certainty is relevant and therefore paramount. An activist lost his case on behalf of the Supreme Court [...]

It is called compelled speech, and the aim is to make us say that they, the men, are women if they perceive themselves as such. It is the basis of gender identity ideology: I am a woman if I say so. Calling them 'women' but calling women 'menstruators'; new names -career aliases- and pronouns: neo-language serves to nip opposition and free thought in the bud. That is why they claim that it is an outrage to say that 'they' are not women at all, and even that it is 'violence'. E [...]

Since we founded Our Duty in 2018, we have collected the experiences of parents with children who would like to put themselves on a path that ends in mutilation, sterilisation, loss of sexual function and regret, throughout their lives. Their testimonies reveal how children are encouraged to embrace a transgender identity by other pupils, with the connivance of teachers and often deliberately without the knowledge of their parents. [...] We begin with the testimony of a mother of a boy [...].

The fight against gender stereotypes was a women's fight: difference thinking called it free signification of sexual difference. It meant, in the construction of one's own life, escaping the obligation to correspond to male desires and expectations, crystallised in images and roles that have been given the name of gender stereotypes. It meant, for a woman, being able to study and work, or not, to be a mother or not, to say, do, behave, dress according to her own [...]

While in the UK the trans peak is behind us, and every day the press reports on the growing intolerance of citizens, government and big private companies to the pressures of the Lgbtq+ lobby and in particular Stonewall's Diversity Scheme (just the latest: hundreds of nurses and midwives asking their organisations to break with 'inclusive' policies that allow men self-identified as women to be admitted to women's wards, and [...]
