"Spanish Stonewall" suing "Non Normative Trans People"

[WitchyWitcherson]

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?!

Is that the one eyed trouser snake ? 😂😂😂😂

I...oh, dear God. My passport is out of date 😭

Brill!

The "chef's hats" thing crossed my mind, too - there's a special name for them and I can never remember it.

<googles frantically>

Toque Blanche.

Edit because instead of "crossed" I had tossed. My mind is like a salad sometimes, but even so I have to draw the line somewhere.

Indeed, indeed, yes, indeed.

Strangely addictive though, aren't they?

Essay?

There's a PhD in there - get cracking.

(And the rest of us can be co-authors. I've been an et al before - I know the drill.)

If you want anyone to carry out field work....!

In case anyone doesn't think this is feminism related, I'm examining the heterogenity of gender roles within different national contexts working cross-laterally against assumed gender/sexuality matrixes.

Yeah, me too. Same. 😉

I'd bloody love for Mumsnet vipers to submit a jointly authored essay. What fuckingmad journal might consider it?

Those hats in the video ain't no toques, they's kepis.

(And now my mind has wandered off to smoking, er, herbal substances and eating peanuts.)

I bet someone's already done a Masters on "Who has the most bizarre military marching style and why," with a follow up PhD in "Who has the most bizarre military uniform and why."

I would like to meet this person.

Thank you! I knew the name but couldn't remember the spelling. Alexa said it was spelled 'KP' ffs.

Hence the peanuts.

Well now that Kate thread makes even less sense.

Me too. Me too. I want to be an et al.
^^
I bet some of those very clever, now-independent, GC academics would be happy to supervise a PhD for you.

I'm sure there must be a World Journal of Any Sort of Shite That People Desperate To Get Published Will Churn Out To Get A Grant somewhere.

It will doubtless be very low impact and full of circular arguments and unreliable statistical evidence, but you could say the same for any journal that thinks people change sex . . .

Give us a fortnight @ScrotumGantry - we're just putting together the details for the ethics committee and preparing the grant application. Then we'll knock out the paper and submit it for publication and probably get an award.

You can meet us formally at the Nobel prize-giving ceremony.

Edited to add @SoupDragonsFriend to the team. Would you like to be in charge of inspecting the tattoos Soup?

Maybe one of the chapters could be on 'military uniform with the most feminine essence'?

Is that his real name? Normative determinism of the day..(Robert Bullets/Pellets)

And "Blowing kisses at the enemy: against the Geneva Convention or legitimate hostility?"

That's easy. Making pompom look butch

Elite level grandmother's footsteps

I volunteer in some capacity - in my day i used to be in charge of recruits at [redacted] for the [redacted] corps.

Ah, Redacted - one of our finest military training schools. And let's not forget Redacted corps - a disciplined, courageous group of men and women. We will never see their like again.
If you get tired of doing the shouting in the recruits' faces with spittle flecks thing, or making them drop and give you ten, I'm very happy to pick up the slack.
Just so you know.

I like to think in the first one the marching gradually got faster and faster.

Can I volunteer to check the consistency of the oil on those biceps?
