Spain’s parliament passes bill allowing trans children to legally change their gender
Anit-trans people love to direct everyone’s attention the England for their hard right government’s turning anti-trans as pushed by wealthy anti-trans people. However even in the UK that position is not supported with Scotland recently removing roadblock to easily allow trans people to correct legal documents to reflex their gender identity. Now Spain is joining that also. The fight for civil rights and acceptance has a long history in the world due to oppression from those who resist change. In the US there were those that resisted ending slavery, resisted giving back men the right to vote, resisted giving all women the right to vote, giving civil rights to POC, giving civil rights to gays and lesbians, giving equality to gays and lesbians in the form of marriage, and now the list goes on to fighting to give trans people acceptance, civil rights, and equality. I am sure I missed some groups in my list, the US has a long history of traditionalist and religious groups saying it was not that way before so it must never change. They refuse to accept the forward movement of time, acceptance, understanding, and of the advances in science. I am beginning to wonder if they ever will. Hugs
Pro-trans activists in SpainPhoto: ShutterstockSpain’s parliament recently passed a bill that makes it easier for people to change their legal gender.
The bill allows people older than 16 to legally change their gender without medical supervision or a judge’s approval. It removes the previous requirements that applicants provide a doctor’s diagnosis of gender dysphoria and additional proof that they have lived as their gender identity and undergone hormone treatment for the past two years.
The bill requires minors below the age of 13 to still get a judge’s authorization before legally changing their gender. Minors below the age of 16 will still need parental or legal guardian approval before being allowed to change their gender.
The bill also bans conversion therapy, promotes LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination protections, and calls for additional efforts to improve trans women’s lives.
It passed the parliament in a 188-150 vote and is now headed to the country’s Senate where it’s expected to pass.
While the bill was sponsored by the far-left Unidas Podemos (United We Can) party, Conservative party members said they worried that the bill would give legal cover for trans individuals who wanted to assault cisgender women in bathrooms and other facilities.
However, Spain’s Equality Minister Irene Montero threw water on these worries, saying, “No man needs to impersonate women to rape women, to sexually assault women. Trans people do not put us (cis) women at risk.”
“It is wage inequality, women’s care burden, and sexist male aggressors that put as at risk,” she added.

During the parliament’s vote, dozens of trans rights activists gathered in front of the building to listen to the debate on their phones, the Edge Media Network reported. Other trans activists viewed the legislative session from the parliament’s public gallery.
After the law passed, activists outside cheered and hugged each other while some burned blue, white, and pink smoke flares, mimicking the colors of the transgender movement, Reuters reported.
“We are making progress on rights as a country,” Montero said during the pre-vote debate. “We want all LGBTI people to be able to be themselves, without closets.”
Spain began allowing trans people to change their gender identity on official documents starting in 2006, but first required proof of gender-affirming surgeries. In July 2019, Spain’s Constitutional Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to prevent people under the age of 18 from changing their legal gender.

This is the video that Randy sent me. It really is important to how deep indoctrination goes and this is what the supporters of DeathSantis want to push in the Florida public schools. This is what the parents’ rights bill is about, letting these people set the curriculum that kids are taught. No acceptance or tolerance for gays, trans, anything different from White Straight Christian Male led society will be tolerated in anyway. ++ Edit. Any people that are looking for boy lover symbols who have a couple boys are scary as fuck to me. I had an abused childhood and I did not see that. These people are looking for it. I looked (Dogs that love gravy) There is that symbol but because it is so old or well known to law enforcement it is not common anymore, or at least as little as I was willing to go into to it. If you have the stomach for it, it leads you to outdated sites that can show you new symbols, and takes you farther into the rabbit hole. It is like porn key word searches, each new refresh or whatever takes you further down the whirlpool. I am not able or strong enough to do it. If you are like me, trust me, it is like the world pool that can take my mind, it goes deeper and can get stronger as you go farther into it. Remember there are things you cannot forget and things you can never lose the feelings of. I love you all. Hugs
“Biden’s a child molester and he kidnaps children and does horrible things to them just like Hillary Clinton and Obama, who made the virus. The virus is man-made. It doesn’t exist. Kids need to be put back in school.
“The people who are pulling the strings is the Italian Vatican. They actually are reptilian bloodlines from another planet. They’re basically robots.
“Evil people down there such as the Rothschilds, they suck the blood from children to get adrenochrome and stay young and beautiful forever.

I have eight nieces and nephews in that exact situation.
Twenty years ago, this would have been considered child abuse. Someone in a state-run agency would have looked at this, realized the danger this would have had on the child, opened up an investigation, and deemed the parents unfit.
To think that now this is commonplace and acceptable in society.
25 years ago my poor cousins, just the girls, were forced to wear culottes for Jesus. They were terrified of the the wrath of God, taught Santa was Satan. No state-run agency was there to help – religious freedom protected their parental right to brainwash their children. There’s nothing different here except that you/we/ some of us disagree.
“They actually are reptilian bloodlines from another planet. They’re basically robots.”
Wait, are they reptiles, reptile hybrids, robots, or cyborgs using reptile or reptile hybrid meat parts? I’m so confused.. sadly, this kid is probably very sure of what he’s saying, since he’s being told that it’s the absolute truth by people he trusts. Probably being told he’s saving people by ‘telling the truth’. No wonder these are the folks scared of education.
Totally delusional parents brainwashing their children into accepting an alternate universe.

They have reptiles on other planets? Do they have fish and amphibians, too? So many questions…

That poor child will be scarred and scared for the rest of their life.
Because ignorance.

If he ever gets out of the bubble he’s in, he will find out how much he has been lied to, and how much nonsense he has spouted, and hate the people who did this to him. Or he will run back into the bubble, where he’s praised for thinking and saying it.
That shit is wackier than any of the cheap science fiction that I have read.

It’s abhorrent but it’s no different than religious indoctrination forced onto children everywhere.
Well, slightly different in that it’s literal Nazi propaganda. The Rothschilds suck the blood of babies? Textbook antisemitism warmed over – same with calling gay people groomers and pedos
Governor Abbott would like to interject that the parents are bringing up this child in his “correct” gender.

This type of child abuse has been going on a long time. Marjoe started scream-preaching in the 1940s at the age of 4. In the ’80s, there was this kid:

This has been me lately:
And the total is
For those who wonder why I get so upset over the right wing media / fox Tucker Carlson / libs of TT claiming that drag queens are groomers, teachers are sexualizing kids in their classrooms, and using violence to shut down drag shows. Even the crap about trans women using the bathroom is going to let “men” rape your little daughters”. Yet none of these people are talking about the people really sexually assaulting kids. I tend to go to the news stories and dogs that love gravy I have to stop doing that as some of the things these religious people are accused of doing by legal authorities, not twitter or Facebook but real law enforcement people, trigger me so bad it causes daytime problems and nightmares. And it is everyday. But no republican in office is addressing it. DeathSantis the Christian savior who forced through the don’t say gay bills outlawing LGBTQI+ in schools and the anti-history bills claiming talking about the reality of slavery is woke and CRT while making white kids sad, never says a word about these religious leaders. Never out laws them? But does give their leaders permission to go into the schools and start clubs. Setting up future kids to be abused. Hugs
What real grooming looks like
Randy sent me this with the note that read “To be honest, I never know if something like this is an onion or not.” This is real grooming. This 8 or 9 year old (maybe I am really bad at age of people) boy has no clue of the context of what he is saying or really who these people are. He is repeating lines he has learned by rote, like the Orthodox Jewish kids who are forced to memorize the Torah all day without learning anything about the history of the area or who the people where, their politics, or the environment. Their education is to memorize the Torah and fill in the gaps with their imagination fueled by what the adults tell them. The boy’s father is Qanon, and notice the boy says they get their information off the dark web. Hugs

An update on my medical issues
Seen my pain doctor this morning, came home, ate, and went to bed. Got up a while ago. Tomorrow morning I go back and have spine shots in the base of my spine to keep me walking and treat that area of bad pain. The MRI showed more damage there. The C area of my spine shows a little damage but not enough compared to the other areas to be concerned about now. So now I have to get an MRI of the middle of the spine. I have a very large amount of pain from there and that is where the worst of my muscle spasms are at. But Medicare would only let my doctor order two MRI sections at a time so we had to do it this way. I also have to schedule a nerve study because my pain doctor thinks I have Carpal tunnel in my right hand and damage in my right shoulder. She is having it done in both arms. Then I have to have shots / treatments in my right shoulder. So much pain right now makes it really hard to think and sit. Hugs
