Lesbian motherhood: open letter to Kathleen Stock
The gender critical philosopher says she is concerned about the rights of lesbian mothers being denied 'by the Meloni government'. But it was the judiciary and not the government that decided that only biological mothers can appear on birth certificates. In order for the law to recognise sexual difference in procreation, it is necessary for homosexual women to break the front with wealthy gay males who resort to surrogacy: homogeny is just ideology
We have been following closely and sisterly the story of Kathleen Stock, gender critical philosopher, author among others of Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism (Little, Brown Book Group, 2021) and former lecturer at the University of Sussex persecuted by transactivists: we have told her story here. Together with Martina Navratilova and Julie Bindel Stock she recently founded The Lesbian Project with the aim of reaffirming the specificity of lesbian identity. The aim of the project is 'to stop the disappearance of lesbians in the rainbow soup and to give [...]

The 'right' to have a slave: Hagar and the womb for rent
For days, the supporters of the GPA have been jubilantly spreading the 'news': even God allows a woman to bear children for others, as the biblical account of Sarah -wife of Abraham unable to conceive- and her servant Hagar who lent her womb shows. So today, too, temporary slaves are being claimed: a real ethical and political short-circuit. And an autogoal. Also because the Genesis account should be read in its entirety
For days on social media, the supporters of the womb for rent, in particular many LGBT+ activists and their supporters, have been reviving the story of the slave girl Hagar and her son Ishmael (Genesis 16 and 21) to support the lawfulness and goodness of their cause. The meaning would be: even God allows a woman to bear a child for others. So: nothing wrong with our claim. In fact, we too are entitled to have female slaves. A logical, political and ethical short-circuit. They do not know [...]

Escaping trans madness
'I want it to be known that there is hope. Young people with 'gender dysphoria' and their families can be helped with a psychological course,' writes American psychiatrist Miriam Grossman in her latest book. Explaining in detail and empathically her therapeutic proposal. And indicating in the hammering propaganda of the transcult the most insidious obstacle
Miriam Grossman is an American psychiatrist. The following is an edited extract published by Gender Clinic News of her new essay Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness. It is a very interesting and 'empathetic' read, especially for those families facing the problem of a teenage daughter/daughter with 'gender discomfort'. James sports a scruffy beard. Sarah wears skirts and doesn't bother with pronouns. Taylor wants to talk about college, not the [...]

Making babies in vitro: The Economist special
The weekly acknowledges the high failure rate of assisted fertilisation and explains the new techniques -from gametogenesis to mitochondrial replacement- wishing for rapid progress. But it is silent on the risks to children's health. And it does not speak of infertility prevention: a commitment that would damage the enormous business
The weekly magazine The Economist devotes a long special to the subject of assisted reproduction, entitled Making Babymaking Better, first of all acknowledging that although performance has been improving the number of failures of these techniques is still very high. On average 7-8 attempts out of 10 fail, a number of failures that increases in parallel with the age of the woman: menopause is a process that only occurs in human females and some whale species. The [...]

Only happiness
The uterus for rent universal offence is a quasi-law, approved by a large majority in the Chamber. With rare exceptions, the Left voted against (the absence of Schlein and Conte in the Chamber was clamorous). Final approval in the Senate is expected by the end of the year. Finally the result, after so many years of bare-knuckle fighting. Hoping that Italy can become a model for the legislation of other countries in the defence of fundamental human rights
We could give you a summary of the many and very long previous episodes. We could list the threats, the insults, the deplatforming, the doors slammed in our faces, all the times we were mocked, ridiculed and pilloried, the international blacklists that marked us as absolute enemies, as homophobic, retrograde, residual, out of history, reactionary, bigoted, witches, Terf. We could tell you how the huge business of assisted reproduction has opposed us. We could tell you about how the left, women and men, opposed us [...]

UK: Labour backtracks on gender self-determination
Even the Labour Party has realised that the fight for trans rights may cost it a large slice of the female electorate. And it changes course on self-determination by assuring that it will defend the right to reserved spaces for women, the first among progressive parties to change course. And the Italian left? It will get there last, as usual. But it will get there
While the Italian progressives continue to hold firm on gender self-determination or self-id - Elly Schlein's programmatic point in the primaries and always at the top of the thoughts of the PD's rights manager Alessandro Zan: they will be the last to change their minds but they will change it - in view of the upcoming UK general election Labour is putting on the brakes decisively: the issue is of great relevance in the current election campaign. From the opposition Labour has always held the line of support for so-called LGBTQ rights [...]

USA, UK, France: Laws to prevent minors from accessing online porn
They are called Age Verification Laws and serve to bar girls' and boys' entry to porn sites to preserve the free development of their sexuality deeply disturbed by those misogynistic and violent models. The last to approve was Virginia after Louisiana, Arkansas, Utah, Mississippi. And a dozen other American states are gearing up. It is also being discussed in Europe, starting with France, which has a regulation in the home straight. So in the UK where the law would be in force from 2024. It is time to talk about it in Italy too
Terrible is the story of those almost-children who, during a New Year's Eve party organised with spirits, drugs and condoms in a villa in the Florentine area, abused two of their contemporaries - both 12 years old - filming the abuse as is now customary and sharing the videos via chat. Accidentally discovered by the mother of one of them, who did not hesitate to denounce the affair to the Postal Police, the affair would see nine of the seventeen boys who attended the party under investigation. The consumption [...]

Vagina? No. It's called an 'extra hole'
Woke language claims to be inclusive at the exclusive expense of women, who must literally disappear: pregnancy, breastfeeding, female sex organs can no longer be named so as not to offend the trans and non-binary ultra-minorities. It is the latest ridiculous move of the dying patriarchy that has built itself up from the very beginning on the marginalisation and erasure of the feminine. It still tries, but it will not succeed
Transactivists are ridiculous: in order not to 'offend' the ultra-exiguous minority of women who declare themselves male while retaining the female genital organ, the vagina can no longer be called that. Bonus hole, extra hole: this is the term. Even front hole no longer suffices: its unserviceability must be better emphasised. A relentless work to erase women from language and the symbolic, a move in extremis by the patriarchy that has built itself from the beginning on the erasure and abjection of the feminine, [...].

Germany, stop trans law
The Bundestag was preparing to approve a law -very similar to the Spanish Ley Trans- that would have introduced total gender self-determination or self-id by a simple administrative act. But the Council of Ministers blocked the proposal at the last minute: there was a risk that convicted criminals would exploit the rule to escape punishment. Perhaps it also had something to do with the fact that Ley Trans did not go down well at all with the centre-left majority in Spain, which risks defeat in the general elections on 23 July.
After Spain, which a few months ago approved the horrifying Ley Trans, an initiative that contributed to the Podemos debacle in the recent local elections and which is jeopardising the centre-left government - next 23 July there will be a vote for politics - it would have been Germany's turn to approve a law on total gender self-determination (self-id). But things turned out differently, as you can read here. The law to approve self-id in Germany was blocked at the last minute [...].

Warning daughters is politics
Against sexual violence and rape, education of young men is still called for. While teaching young women how to protect themselves and sounding the alarm about early sexualisation and the risks of substance abuse is seen as discriminatory and re-victimising. Every mother feels she has to do this but is blamed for it
If feminism is 'starting from oneself', it is from me that I want to start, from what I felt after the horrible murder of young Michelle in Primavalle (in the photo) seeing two women holding up signs (professionally made in some professional print shop, not in marker pen on bristol cardboard) where it was peremptorily reiterated that it is not girls who need to be protected, but boys who need to be educated. Mantra that is repeated to us in every case of rape, the appeal to [...]

On the risks of the ROPA method
The technique used by an increasing number of lesbian couples consists of using the oocyte of one to make an embryo that will then be inserted into the womb of the other who will carry the pregnancy. This practice is physically and psychologically dangerous both for the two women and for the child that will be born. This is why
In our recent communiqué Per il vero bene dei bambini (For the true good of the children) we expressed our 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 one into the womb of the other who will carry out the gestation. For this stance we have received acclaim, some insults and many requests for information and sources. What does the ROPA method consist of and what are its risks? For the [...]

Spain: Ley Trans at the centre of the election campaign
The popular Isabel Dìaz Ayuso, newly elected president of the Madrid region, promises that an eventual centre-right government will change the highly contested Ley Trans approved by the Sanchez government, which introduced free gender identity. In defence of the Constitution and above all the rights of women and children as well as freedom of opinion. Decisive theme in view of the political elections next 23 July
In Spain, biopolitical issues have also become major topics and are playing a decisive role in the election campaign. In the run-up to the general elections on 23 July, there is already talk of changing the laws on gender identity, less than six months after the approval of the Ley Trans wanted by ex-minister Irene Montero of Podemos, a political formation that almost died out in the last local elections. The first to speak about it was the newly elected president of the Madrid region, Isabel Díaz Ayuso del [...]
