Trans collectives from Spain and their families have called on all LGBTI activists not to participate in events framed in the month of diversity, organized by the PSOE, nor to invite representatives of this party to events organized by LGTBI and Trans entities. , until the party does not make a "public rectification" for the internal document it released last Wednesday in which it rejected queer activism .
In a letter to the Federal Executive Commission of the PSOE, more than 200 LGTBI entities, feminists and of a social nature, criticize the "transphobic character" of said document, entitled Arguments against theories that deny the reality of women , in the one that rejected the right "to sexual self-determination", as well as the so-called queer theories .
"Not only does it take us back to times already exceeded in Spain, Europe and Latin America, but it also collides and calls into question the credibility of a Government that has included in its programmatic commitments the processing of a Trans State Law ," claim the groups, who They comment that "it is full of prejudices, hoaxes and affirmations contrary to the advancement in social and civil rights of trans people."
"It seems to us an aberration to use the name of feminism and the defense of women as a throwing weapon to perpetuate the oppression of trans women who suffer double discrimination, for being women and being trans. And that for being women they are the subject of feminism Trans women do not come to end the female subject, but to magnify it in all its wonderful diversity, "says the letter, in which the groups assure that the PSOE document" has a dangerous burden of intoxication of opinion, by dehumanize trans people and reduce them to the category of queer theory . "
For this reason, they request "urgently" a meeting with the Executive Commission of the PSOE, as well as with the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, who they hope will materialize in the "next few days".
The groups ask the trade union centrals and political parties that have maintained a "clear position" in the face of discrimination and oppression of the LGTBI groups, to condemn this document, which they describe as "transphobic", which is "the greatest attack on the trans people from the entrance of democracy ".
On the other hand, they ask the Government to process the Trans Law. In this sense, representatives of all trans groups and families will give a press conference next June 22, at the gates of Congress to report on the possible agreements reached, or on future pressure actions to be carried out, until the achievement of the date of the processing of said Law.
"Socialist women and men have always been on the side of advances in rights for LGTBI people, I have no doubt that in this situation reason, justice and respect for the diversity and dignity of trans people will prevail", declares Mar Cambrollé , president of the Trans Platform Federation .
According to him, the Trans State Law "does not come to extend rights, nor to take them away from anyone, but to recognize those who have been systematically violated."
