Temporary reprieve?

This is positive I think. Breathing space always gives time for sunlight and with sunlight comes a recognition of the issues. I'm hopeful a conversation is beginning.

Translation of statement by Socialist Party explaining their abstention in voting for self id law

Had originally thought Spain was completely TWAW given some of the horrendous reporting - maybe not

This is really encouraging - it sounded like a done deal.

Combined with the news from Sweden I'm a little more hopeful - although I won't believe the tide's really turning until Canada starts to press pause.

Really pleased about this although the PSOE should have opposed , not abstained. But the local administrations continue to put out policy guidelines that are informed by the trans allied groups and organisations ( similar to Stonewall etc) and all without much discussion.
