Spain-woman sentenced to 6 months in prison after making 'transphobic' remarks towards male ex prostitute

Exactly this. See also: Malta.

Historically, Spain has been a very sexist society, and sadly it feels as if it has just moved from the old misogyny of Catholicism and Francoism straight to the new misogyny of the TRAs.

If it's not being reported anywhere, where are you getting your information about it from?

I hope it's an approved source of national significance.

Sorry if I missed it.. but what did she say that incited violence?

Why didn't she offer a defence?

6 months suspended sentence for saying there are 2 sexes? However, the homophobic slur was nasty ... does Spain have precedent for such sentences when men have used similar slurs?

Except that isn’t true. It was public knowledge that he was male. He shared that himself.

She said there was little coverage…not that there was none

Why isn’t ’the law’, which is supposed to be about Truth, calling men, men? We are living in a world where the law itself, is lying to everybody. How are we supposed think the law can ever bring justice?

Calling a man a woman they might as well say guilty is not guilty. Or black is white. I’d like to see a court case where the law makes its own case for telling us men are women.

You really aren't looking very hard.

’A woman accused of murdering a man’ ffs

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-68337604.amp

At least the local news is - slightly’ more coherent (truthful) than the BBC.

So this person was working for a trans theatre company and is a trans activist yet says that this woman’s comments outed them as trans?
This isn’t someone quietly getting on with their life, this is someone openly trans.

It's been noticed how there is very little coverage of a particularly tabloidesque murder trial in Oxford, with the kind of nasty details that would normally be media catnip. And where there is coverage, most of it appears to be deliberately obscure in a way that withholds relevant facts from the readers.

Even now the BBC, Sky News Guardian, the Independent, many local and regional newspapers are silent about the persecution of women for expressing GC views.

I don’t know this case. However I do know that anyone resident in Spain now, can self ID as a female. Sounds like Scotland. What a mess.

‘’After months of heated debate which divided the left and a part of the feminist movement, the Spanish parliament finally approved the "Law for the Real and Effective Equality of Trans Persons" on Thursday, February 16’ Le Monde

Nothing about the Real and Effective Equality of Women, of course.

not even close

Absolutely this. It has been the same in Canada over the reporting of stories like Jessica Yaniv. It was the same in this country until a few years ago.

Redux may be relatively small, but it's well known. It's like saying you haven't hear of Private Eye, or The Spectator.

in support of obscure news outlets of which i have absolutely bugger all idea about what lies behind them? nope

I think you need to take that up with every single main media outlet in spain and indeed the world

Not what you were asking for at the time I wrote the post, @wontforget.

If you start running round the field with the goalposts - “only one obscure site has covered it” vs “I DEMAND COVERAGE FROM A NATIONAL NEWSPAPER!!!” - people will miss. Funny that.

Yes it literally says it's a crime. What's your point?

so every single main media outlet in spain and indeed the world… has come together to agree to not report this

What this thread shows is the value of getting the mainstream media to turn a blind eye to particular stories. Because for some it means the story doesn't really exist.

i believe “transphobia” is absolute nonsense

but in this case… it was trying to whip up violence and invaded someone’s personal life that they hadn’t broadcast

i said it!

This was inciting violence

That is a crime
