A puppet in the mask of Carmen Calvo, socialist vice-premier of Spain, was found hanged from a tree in Plaza 8 de Marzo in Santiago de Compostela. On the puppet a sign: "I am lost... Where is the patriarchate(here the article by El Mundo).

Carmen Calvo was 'executed' for its highly critical stance on the so-called Ley Trans which aims to introduce a free choice of gender identity in Spain (self-id) without any judgment, expert opinion or medical act (see here). The law is proposed and strongly supported by the Igualdad minister Irene Montero and Podemos, which governs together with the Psoe.

Carmen Calvo replied on Twitter: "Neither violence nor threats have a place in a democracy. So no"and received many messages of solidarity.

I transattivisti "impiccano" la vicepremier spagnola Carmen Calvo per le sue critiche alla Ley Trans

The RadFem Compostela collectiveborn against the "identity drift"represented by queer theory, understood the macabre performance "as an attack"and published pictures of Calvo's 'hanging' in order to "show the reality of the violence radical feminists are undergoing". The RadFem of Galicia say they do not feel represented in any way by the Ministry of Igualdad.

Solidarity with Carmen Calvo and the RadFem sisters in Santiago and throughout Spain.

UK, you can no longer say 'woman' or 'mother': woke provisions of the General Medical Council
Decision of unprecedented violence by the British Medical Register: the word woman must be deleted at every level. It cannot even be mentioned when discussing motherhood, childbirth, breastfeeding, menopause. Even 999, the emergency number, can no longer ask what sex the person asking for help is. The woke know very well that the female body is the main obstacle to the transhuman project. And they want to erase it even in language
It keeps happening: women and mothers must also be erased from the vocabulary, at every level. They do not give up because the maternal symbolic is the most resistant obstacle to the transhuman project. We will not give up either. Forget it The General Medical Council -the public body that maintains the official register of doctors in the UK- has replaced the word 'mother' with neutral terms in its maternity guide for staff. The updated guide for employees who become pregnant omits [...]

Spain: inmate pregnant with trans cellmate
The man -intact male body and no hormone therapy- had asked and obtained to be moved to the women's prison in Alicante because he 'self-perceived' to be a woman (self-id). A cellmate's pregnancy was the result. And the new Ley Trans, in force since December 2022, will make such transfers easier and more frequent
In the Alicante Cumplimiento Penitentiary Centre, known as Fontcalent Prison, an inmate identifying himself as a woman impregnated a cellmate. According to the account confirmed by several prison sources, the inmate had been serving a sentence in the male module of the prison for several years, but during his stay he started to identify himself as a woman. On his papers he continues to appear as a man and has never undergone hormone treatment, let alone surgery. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...].

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 [...]

The British prime minister: 'We will guarantee women their reserved spaces'
Vigorous change of wind in the UK after years of prevailing Lgbtq+ misogyny: against the invasion of toilets, women's locker rooms and safe houses by men who self-identify as women, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promises a reform of the Equality Act. As demanded by a petition signed by over 100,000 people, it will have to be based on biological sex and not on 'gender identity'. Also announced are new guidelines on'sex education and alias careers at school: decisive issues in view of the upcoming elections
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has declared that he will change the Equality Act 2010 to protect single-sex spaces reserved for women, stating that biological sex is 'fundamental and important'. The move follows concerns about the lack of clarity in current legislation on the issue, which could allow so-called MtoF trans people to access spaces reserved for women even though they are biologically male. "I have been very clear that when it comes to issues [...]
