LGTBIQ+ groups from 18 Spanish cities demonstrated against the PSOE amendments to the trans law and its blockade

Madrid and 17 other Spanish cities have taken to the streets this Saturday to demand the immediate implementation of the Trans Law and they have asked that the PSOE remove the amendments submitted to the rule and stop blocking it. With these acts, trans organizations and LGTBIQ + they demand that «the human rights for trans people included in the State Trans and LGTBI Law and, especially, that the right to self-determination of sex be guaranteed in the civil registry for trans people under 16 years of age accompanied by their parents«.

Convened by more than 50 entities such as the FELGTBI+, Chrysallis or the Trans Platform Federation, the protesters have demanded “protección"And"more rights” for the groups involved through chants such as “trans law already” and have reproached attitudes to some personalities of the PSOE, as the deputy Carmen Calvo.

They have also carried banners with slogans such as “rights are not deferred" or "trans law defends itself”, in a protest presided over by a banner with the text “Trans law: human rights, no cuts, for everyone” and a huge flag of the group behind the head.

PSOE amendments

The main object of criticism in these demonstrations has been the amendments that the PSOE presented to the norm, which is in the phase of analysis by the presentation of the Equality Commission. They have especially lamented the demand of the Socialists that a judge authorize the change of sex in the registry to the under 16 years.

"It is a very dangerous thing. The fact that the extreme right or the right has systematically opposed the advance of rights is something we were used to, but what makes it highly dangerous is that this comes from the PSOE”, has summarized in statements Mar Cambrollé, president of the Trans Platform Federation. In his opinion, the socialists' amendment is “unconstitutional" because the Constitutional Court "already pronounced” in this regard in a 2019 ruling, which states that minors “have the right to rectify the change of name and gender in their DNI ”.

"Those who talk about risks and protection for trans minors do not live with them, do not know their realities”, he has defended.

In the same line, Uge Sangil, president of FELGTBI+, has affirmed that the reason for the march is that the rights of trans people and minors “are at risk" by "an amendment that gives back” for those people who have not reached the age of majority. For this reason, it demands that the project of law integrates both migrants and non-binary people.

Sangil has argued that the “internal balances"and the posture of the people"TERF” -the side of feminism contrary to the inclusion of trans people in the movement- within the party are the reasons why the socialist group has imposed the amendments. “thing we don't understand”, he continued, “because the bill is a legitimate proposal, it has legal certainty and it would not take away rights".

rights cuts

The activist Carla Antonelli, former deputy of the PSOE and the first trans parliamentarian in the history of Congress, has stressed the importance of “raise the voices"And"say no"to what you consider"rights cuts” of the people in the collective and, like his colleagues, he has insisted that the PSOE must “reconsider” y "withdraw” some amendments that, he said, aim to “curtail” the fundamental rights of trans people. “When we look back a few years from now we will feel ashamed”, has predicted.
