“A freelance producer for ABC News allegedly put pressure on politicians who opposed the interests of clients of a powerful political consulting firm, which some say was an unethical use of her influence with the network, NPR reports.

According to NPR’s report, Kristen Hentschel used her ties with the network “at least three times to trip up Florida politicians whose stances on environmental regulations cut against the interests” of clients of Matrix LLC, a political consulting firm that was accused of spying on environmentalists and journalists for the benefit of its corporate clients.

“At the time, a political consulting firm called Matrix LLC had paid Hentschel at least $7,000, the firm’s internal ledgers show. And Matrix billed two major companies for Hentschel’s work, labeling the payments ‘for Florida Crystals, FPL.’ (Florida Crystals is a huge sugar conglomerate. FPL is shorthand for the giant utility Florida Power & Light.),” NPR’s report states.”

Republicans Want You To Snitch On Your Librarian

If anyone wonders , yes the blogging computer is down.   I had to swap secondary drives, and the last time I updated the computers I ruined my good newest windows 10 USB drive, so I had to use a very old one that caused its own problems and after several hours of installing I had to reset windows itself downloading it off the internet from Microsoft so I can complete the install.  So here are some videos on Christmas day for everyone while I fix my blogging computer.  Happy whatever holiday you celebrate today for everyone, my hope for you is you have the greatest fun, the tastiest food, and are with people you enjoy if that is your thing.   Hugs

Spain’s parliament passes bill allowing trans children to legally change their gender

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/12/spains-parliament-passes-bill-allowing-trans-children-legally-change-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

“We want all LGBTI people to be able to be themselves, without closets,” said Spain’s Equality Minister.

Spain’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.

 
 

Texas Governor CAUGHT LYING about FAILING Power Grid by Furious Texas Paul

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
