It will be the plurinational agenda and not any other citizen interest that will tip the balance in the eventual new general elections. The entire European continent could sink and a large part of the Spanish vote would continue to cling to the idea of territorial unity like a peninsular boat facing the elements. National identity is the tit that pulls more electorally than two carts. And just like sexual identity – oh, no, it was gender – does not allow debate. It is also cheaper: it does not require influencers to generate a mass of voters, which is not critical.
And who says about voters, says about politicians, since the European Parliament has bowed to the environmental pressure exerted by the lobbies on the trans issue and there are already 15 countries that, convinced by the Spanish presidency of the Council of the EU, will promote the gender self-determination. The declaration urges each Member State to guarantee the change of registered sex without requirements, which lays the rug for the sex reassignment industry, which, as indicated by the Swedish researcher Kajsa Ekis Ekman, for every boy it converts into a girl, it plans to convert to three girls in a boy.
In short, it prevents the free and healthy abolition of sexist stereotypes in EU countries, a universal benefit that, perhaps blinded by the word rights, the correct progressive has not been able to detect. No one should be discriminated against because of their way of being or dressing – it is patriarchy that hates the pen in a man or the manhood in a woman – but neither should they be urged to deny the material reality that is their sex.
Luckily, in France, where the law of secularism allows the Islamic veil to be kept at bay in public spaces, queer religion is viewed with skepticism. And curiously, when drafting its trans law, the French Senate has called on specialists, who have been silenced in Spain, to contribute their point of view. José Errasti, author of Nobody is Born in a Wrong Body, is there with the feminist Sílvia Carrasco and David Bell, the former director of the gender identity unit at the Tavistock Institute in London, who uncovered the neglect of the “affirmative model” in the approach of gender dysphoria in minors.
