Being able to rally 5,000 women for Madrid alone, plus demonstrators in other Spanish cities, in the face of a media blackout, is just awesome.

Yet the Spanish State, through its policies appear to be aimed at reducing women and girls safety, seem intent on pursuing another purpose; the eradication from its society of its gay and lesbian communities within-a-decade, principally by 'transing-away-the-gay' as a strategic policy.

In England particularly, our gay and lesbian communities have woken-up to the risk, though lesbian culture has been nigh-decimated already. The LGBA reflect the comprehension of the attacks. Spain doesn't have an equivalent, and with increasing far-right homophobia, its gay and lesbian minority are being squeezed on both side; a classic case of the Left judging them and the far-right being the executioner. Unable to unburden itself of the 'T' the LBG are being taken-apart and are paralysed from being able to respond.

Spain's plight is as bad as in the US, where the LBG haven't even started to realise that Leftists have them lined-up for extinction.

Mad, isn't it! And the article from Russia is excellent too, because it lays out all the demands of the women's rights movement in Spain.

FindTheTruth · 25/10/2021 15:05

So.... 5000 women marching for their rights in Madrid was not reported in Spain, or the UK or in any European country... but it WAS reported in Russia?!!!! this is the western world in the upside down.

Tweet to the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail asking why the Spanish Parliament is ignoring women protesting in their thousands and why the Spanish media is silent.

Whatever anyone's feelings about the Daily Mail, it isn't frightened to ask those questions.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 24/10/2021 14:03

Been sent a link that it was reported on in Russia - if this link comes up in Russian, there's an icon in the top right hand corner to translate it into English (or anything else)

instant Self ID for anyone who wants it (including male predators); conversion therapy for lesbian and gay children to make them appear 'straight'; prohibiting "watchful waiting" and classing therapeutic approaches as "transphobic,"; and extending hate crime and hate speech laws that will silence criticism of gender identity laws, and prevent women and children from saying when they see a man before them.

This is so sinister. so chilling. and I agree it's sinister that there's been no media coverage and even google isn't showing results. WTAF

@Gncq

I'd be happier if it weren't so utterly sinister that a) they need to march for this in the first place and b) it's completely unreported.
Yes but despite the media and political elite trying to keep this under wraps, look at the turnout and coordination. That's why they have to clamp down because imagine the numbers if people were allowed to know about what's going on?

However, a nice lady on Twatter has given me this youtube link

It honestly brought tears to my eyes, watching it. All those wonderful women.

@NonnyMouse1337

It's so cool that so many women turned up for the march. Smile
It really is. Amazing to see that crowd in central Madrid, and hear so many women's voices all together.

This Self ID bill law is exceptionally dangerous for women. It combines three of the most worrying elements observed in other countries: instant Self ID for anyone who wants it (including male predators); conversion therapy for lesbian and gay children to make them appear 'straight'; prohibiting "watchful waiting" and classing therapeutic approaches as "transphobic,"; and extending hate crime and hate speech laws that will silence criticism of gender identity laws, and prevent women and children from saying when they see a man before them.

Horrific.

@EmbarrassingHadrosaurus

The Spanish women who participate in the WHRC sessions have been desperate for some time. They can not get coverage for what is happening to policy in Spain nor their protests.
Very, very worrying
TalkingtoLangClegintheDark · 24/10/2021 12:50

That’s amazing! 💜💜💜

But so shit it’s barely being reported.

1Week · 24/10/2021 12:36

Maybe it'll turn out to have been a superspreader event, if they myst acknowledge it Hmm

ScreamingMeMeSawUs · 24/10/2021 12:19

WOW.

QueenSue · 24/10/2021 11:54

19 cities. No news. Shock

TedsFederationRep · 24/10/2021 11:30

From what I understand, the protests took place in 19 Spanish cities with Madrid being the largest.

The answer to your question is "all of them".

Just how many women protesting together in public can be ignored?!

TedsFederationRep · 24/10/2021 11:23

If anyone is on Twitter, please retweet, like, quote, retweet. They are desperate to get international attention in order to force the issue into the media and the public consciousness at home.

Largely unreported in Spain - completely unreported in Australia, and can't even find reference to it if I do a Google search. Found ONE pic on Getty images.

These protests - widespread across Spain for over a year - have been largely unreported by the Spanish media which is keeping quiet even though trans activists have publicly and physically attacked the women protesting.

Spain has already passed 44 pro-trans laws focussed on education, health and self-ID that have been quietly passed in regional parliaments over the last five years without public scrutiny, as per the tactics set out in the Dentons document.

A biology professor was suspended by a university for stating the biological fact that humans cannot change sex.

The Zerolo law makes the failure to use “correct” pronouns a criminal offence with a fine of €150.

This Self ID bill law is exceptionally dangerous for women. It combines three of the most worrying elements observed in other countries: instant Self ID for anyone who wants it (including male predators); conversion therapy for lesbian and gay children to make them appear 'straight'; prohibiting "watchful waiting" and classing therapeutic approaches as "transphobic,"; and extending hate crime and hate speech laws that will silence criticism of gender identity laws, and prevent women and children from saying when they see a man before them.

Self ID, by the way, would be open to any child aged 13 and over.

Many in Spain are unaware of the stealthy process in Parliament taking place without public consent. The media is silent - or has been silenced, take your pick.
