Transphobia keeps killing

Transphobia has killed a 21-year-old

GAYLES.TV.- At the express wish of the family we will give little information. But the truth is that the transphobia has claimed another victim. A 21-year-old has ended his life because he couldn't take it anymore. Once again the pressure has been able with one of ours. As it happened with Alan, with Ekai, with José Matías, with Leo,… They are not isolated cases, they are our children and young people who see no future because of a transphobic society.

Transphobia kills

The insults, the rejections, the criticisms. The orange buses that are falsehoods The proud transphobia of the TERFS between laughs at university conferences. The most stale transphobia hurts, but you see it coming. You know what to expect from a direct attack. But there is another kind of more subtle transphobia that is going like a Chinese torture and it hurts more. It is the transphobia of those who do not identify as transphobes, but they are with their attitude. Nothing is innocent, the jokes, the sideways glances, the whispers behind the back, the false understanding.

It is not easy to be young, nor is it easy to be trans. That is why we must protect ourselves and defend our rights. That is why we insist and repeat as many times as necessary that it is about social murders and not suicides. As Chrysallis points out: «We denounce this society, saturated with conventions, stereotypes and absurd beliefs that reproduce in an endless cycle and must cease. We demand an end to all types of hatred and violence, including that undercover of goodism. We invite reflection, to all those people who, hidden by the intimacy of what is cooked in the kitchens of their homes, think innocent and exculpate and lament in the distance and behind the walls. We claim protection. We families alone cannot. A society and public and legal structures that guarantee a happy and full life in rights for trans people are essentials *.

In GAYLES.TV we want to express our pain and send a big hug to the loved ones of the deceased young man.

Lesbians divorce more

Lesbian couples are more likely to divorce than gay couples

GAYLES.TV.- Lesbians marry more than gay men ... and they also divorce more. Statistics show that within same-sex marriages, the divorce rate among lesbian couples is significantly higher compared to divorces among gay male couples.

According to ONS «Divorces between same-sex couples were first recorded in 2015 and annual increases have been observed every year since then, reflecting the growth in the size of the same-sex married population in England and Wales.«.

Three factors could explain this trend. Almost the 70% of divorces of heterosexual couples registered in recent years was initiated by women, which shows that men are less likely to consider divorce. Also the tendency to U Hauling (betting very quickly on a relationship and moving to life together very soon) could influence according toLisa Power, one of the cofounders of Stonewall. Finally, Ayesha vardag, president of the divorce firm Vardags, he pointed out that he believes this could be due to the fact that «women may be less tolerant of infidelity«.

Men tend to consider divorce less

Although lesbians marry more than gay men, the difference in divorce rates is much greater than in marriage rates. Marriages between gay men represent 44% of same-sex marriages, but they represent only the 26% of the divorced. This indicates that both in a heterosexual and homosexual relationship, men tend to consider divorce less than women.

In Netherlands, the first country to allow same-sex marriage: in the ten years from 2005, 15% of gay marriages failed, compared with 30% of those formed by a lesbian couple.

En 2018, a study of the university of UCLA who analyzed heterosexual and homosexual couples over 12 years revealed that gays break less frequently (14,5%). Lesbians are the ones that break most frequently (29,3%) and heterosexual couples are between them (18,6%).

Apparently the lesbians live it all with greater intensity, even the orgasms.

The Government will take the 'parental pin' of Vox to the courts

According to Celaá «the veto of parents that their children do not attend activities violates the right of minors«

GAYLES.TV.- Vox insists that it is about freedom of education, when in reality it is just educational censorship. He 'parental pin'has become the first great ideological toll paid by the pact of the right. Educational centers already have their regulatory systems in which the school council decides the compulsory extracurricular activities for each year.

Interfere with the educational proposal of schools «would violate the rights of students to receive a comprehensive education », according to Minister of education, Isabel Celaá. Bill 'parental pin ' which Vox demands to apply in the communities of MadridAndalusia Murcia to approve the regional budgets, it obliges the parents to authorize in a prior and express way the child assistance to any type of activity held at the school.

The Government will take the 'parental pin' of Vox to court«The veto by the parents to the attendance of the students to these activities would suppose a 'disguised conscientious objection ' that could be applied to curricular contents and that goes against Spanish legislation", it states Celaá. Hence  Ministry of Education and Vocational Training He announced yesterday that he will resort to judicial action against any initiative “aimed at undermining the right to education and censoring the performance of schools and their teachers".

He 'parental pin'' allows parents to censor part of the educational program by deciding whether or not their children attend talks about diversity LGTB +, racism or feminism in the educational centers.

The spokesperson for Vox in the Congress of Deputies, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, has ensured that the measure required by Vox to approve budgets in Murcia «it's so natural and so free»That is not explained«how can there be so much controversy«. «Parents know much better than teachers what is best for their children" has said. «If parents want their children to go to religion, they have to expressly authorize it. If the school does an extracurricular activity they have to authorize it. Well, if they give them a talk about certain contents, it is natural that parents want to be able to authorize their children to go », has held Espinosa de los Monteros.

Murcia, the Vox laboratory

Since last September the 'parental pin'is already in force in Murcia. Although Vox wanted to shield it by law, finally the budget agreement promises to maintain «an express authorization of the families for the participation of their children in complementary activities«. Ciudadanos, that his mouth has been filled so much stating that he defends LGBTI rights, and after ensuring that the so-called parental pin it was a "red line" that they were not willing to accept, has yielded and signed an agreement in Murcia with PP (its Government partners) and Vox to get the 2020 budget That includes that measure.

President of Vox, Santiago Abascal, wrote on twitter: “EYou are trampling the right to freedom of education. You intend to mold the children with your chaladuras and sectarianisms. We will continue to protect families from your totalitarian drives. Leave our children alone".

If the talks about diversity LGTB + are "nonsense » It means they are more necessary than ever.

International Day against LGTBIphobia in Sport

The right to sport of trans children, in the hands of the arbitrariness of sports federations

GAYLES.TV.- At International Day against LGTBIphobia in Sport (February 19) minors trans has little to celebrate. The lack of state legislation leaves an arbitrary panorama in which absurd situations occur such as that «a minor cannot compete in its category in Castilla y León and can do so in an Olympic Games". The State Federation of Lesbians, Gais, Trans and Bisexuals (FELGTB),  LGBTI Iberian Sports Group (ADI) and Sport and Diversity denounce that, at present, the right of childhood and adolescence Trans to freely access sports practice It depends on the will of the sports federations that decide whether or not a person can compete in the category corresponding to their gender.

Yesterday the Catalan Federation of Swimming (FCN) prevented a young transsexual from competing in the female category. A decision goes against article 14 of the Law to guarantee the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and intersex and to eradicate homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, as the entities have denounced LGTB +. The specific law that «The public administrations of Catalonia must guarantee, together with the sports federations, the free participation of LGTBI people in competitions and the correct treatment of these people in sports facilities«.

Institutional Declaration 

For this reason FELGTB, ADI and Sports and Diversity claim the urgent need for a LGTBI state law that equals the rights of the collective in all the Autonomous Communities and guarantees, among other aspects, that trans people can access sports competitions, recognizing their gender identity.

That's why they have articulated a Institutional Declaration in which they claim to end any expression of violence, whether physical or verbal, in sports areas, especially for issues related to sexual and gender diversity; equating public recognition and awards of women athletes with respect to men; and guarantee the sporting practice of trans and intersex people according to their gender identity, protecting their rights and privacy, and watching especially in the sport of literacy by a regulation that ensures the conditions of equality.
