Saw this post on X from Glinner: https://twitter.com/Glinner/status/1767691199794545138

"The Spanish equivalent to Stonewall (FELGTB) has been fuming some days because of those military guys who changed their legal sex to female without doing anything else (and keeping beards, wives, everything!), because they were proving us feminists so right.

So finally FELGTB have decided to sue the military guys (who created an organisation called "Non Normative Trans People" (TNN in its Spanish acronym) for "fraud". But TNN have doubled down and said that they are going to sue FELGTB for transphobia, because no reason has to be given for changing your ID and the law says you can't be questioned."

How transphobic of FELGTB, who are they to gatekeep transness?!

NOT LIKE THAT.

Too late!

We're all sniggering. Grin

I imagine they all have serious whiplash.

Emotionalsupportviper · 14/03/2024 09:36

I was wondering about the head angle - they can't possibly see where they are planting their feet.

But the showmanship is superb! It's all about the drama and the appearance of the thing. They're very conscious that they have a reputation as the World's Sexiest Legion to maintain.

At the same time they are obviously very well trained and disciplined. There's one video which has a bit of synchronised rifle juggling (for want of a better term) and trumpet/flag spinning.

ArabellaScott · 14/03/2024 09:31

Here they are in full song, carring a statue of a man stripped to a loincloth and apparently well oiled.

I'm trying to work out if the head tilt is an official part of the march/uniform, or if they're just trying to keep the tassels out of their eyes.

It's a very sprightly goat. And keeps good time.

Emotionalsupportviper · 14/03/2024 09:24

Blimey!

Even the goat is good-looking! (For a goat, I hasten to add)

They march at quite a belt, don't they? (Could do with tuning the euphonium, though)

Edited to add the "for a goat" bit. I'm not into anything funny.

ArabellaScott · 14/03/2024 09:23

At least this uniform negates any need for the famous genital inspectors to ask to see inside anyone's pants. Genital status is kind of shrink wrapped and out there on display, as it were.

ArabellaScott · 14/03/2024 09:13

Interesting piece on the history of the uniform although I'm sharing for the headline.

It all looks very gay to me 😂

ArabellaScott · 14/03/2024 09:19

Gosh, there's videos on youtube with them marching - all the tassels dancing about gaily, someone tossing a ceremonial stick, and a goat.

It's impressive, isn't it?

Can't say I've ever seen such a lot of good-looking army boys - and who knew that a codpieces were standard in the legion?

😀

Rather a sexy bunch!

Nice cleavage on show - thank you Marie. You've made an old woman very happy. 😂

Edited by accident - I honestly don't know why I clicked on it. I was thinking about how rubbish Evri delivery is. Nothing to see here - move along now.

Which group said this ( I found the translated article a bit hard to follow)?

It's a great idea of course. If everyone is a woman it becomes much harder for actual women to name the problem.

Show quote history

Everyone should be a woman. Then the subcategory of woman who is disadvantaged in various ways physical, biological and societal due to being female should have certain protections under the law to ensure their equality, dignity and safety.

Yeah that's a scary thought. It jumped out at me too

Look, for all those people worrying about how to tell the difference between the genuine, sincere, most vulnerable people (FELGTB) and those horrid, selfish frauds (TNN), it's not difficult: just check the cologne they wear.

I love Brut, smells gorgeous

Got it! Six fingers on the right hand, or, if you prefer, five fingers and a thumb.

God almighty! 😦

How did I miss that?

WeMeetInFairIthilien · 13/03/2024 20:00

¡Brava! La mujer es muy bonita y mucho interesante.

Ahem. That's about as far as my Español goes.

I'll be so interested to see how this one pans out.

As a PP said, it's been quite a week already.

YireosDodeAver · 13/03/2024 20:00

There's enough deep seated misogyny just below the surface that most men would regard being a woman as a deliberate demotion/reduction in status that no one would actively choose and therefore they are ready to believe there's some kind of metaphysical difference between the "real" men vs those who could make such an incomprehensible choice

Snowypeaks · 13/03/2024 10:54

And how will they tell who's genuine? 😆

Show quote history

But they're ALL genuine!

Men wouldn't lie about that. They just wouldn't.

YireosDodeAver · 13/03/2024 19:53

There's definitely no evidence so long as you are careful to only look in places where there's no evidence, only listen to voices affirming that there's no evidence, and only say things that are in line with there being no evidence. Stick to those rules and everything is fine!
