  Equality in Europe: Irene Montero's counterparts do not need a ministry

Transfeminism, like millennialism, has arrived.

It does so hand in hand with the new number two of the Ministry of Equality,

(32), who since the beginning of this month is the new Secretary of State for Equality and against Gender Violence, replacing

who leaves active politics for personal reasons.

An appointment not without controversy for delving into the

division

in her different ways of understanding the feminist movement, by the militant transfeminism that the new number two of Irene Montero has shown in her public appearances and messages on social networks and the controversy that has haunted Ángela since it was leaked in 2016 that she had called "Lame whore" to his internal adversary in Podemos Galicia,

Let's start with transfeminism, the point of friction that separated former Vice President

and Minister

. A tug of war that ended up winning the "brilli-brilli Revolution" (words of Angela Rodríguez's companions) with the approval of the Trans Law in Congress. A victory that the new secretary of state (feminist and bisexual) celebrated at this year's Pride with an eloquent tweet: "Here we are the transfeminists. Bolleras with penis, bolleras with vagina, there are many more bolleras than you imagine. Happy Pride, friends. And tomorrow is Law. "

Beyond the provocativeness of the message, the background makes clear the position of Montero's number two: the defense of gender self-determination.

This point has been the battlefield of feminism in recent months, as reminded by LOC

, a former socialist deputy who coincided with Rodríguez in Congress when the Galician woman had her seat in Pontevedra with Podemos.

"Most of the PSOE feminists consider that registered sex can exceptionally be chosen by transsexual people, not by the population as a whole. The Ministry is changing the paradigm of the feminist agenda to turn it into a non-feminist agenda."

"THE MINISTRY IS NOT ALLIES"

Ángela Rodríguez has worked as an advisor in the Ministry since the arrival of Irene Montero, but her activism has now been rewarded with a rise in the ranks and in salary,

year as secretary of state. And it is that 'Pam' has been one of the mainstays in the approval of the Trans Law, something that the currents of feminism do not forget (classic or radical depending on who you ask) that now criticize her appointment as another step in what they consider the "drift" of the Ministry. "The problem is that feminism no longer has an ally in the Ministry," says Ángeles Álvarez. In the same sense, the activist

manifested

on Twitter: "They continue to laugh at women. Whoever endorses misogyny, insults feminists, has no training in equality or quality feminists and rejects the democratic debate, cannot be the secretary general of equality and gender violence. He is a joke and a shame ", a message that he accompanied with the hashtag #FueraPamdeIgualdad.

Her confrontation with the other feminists goes back a long way and has materialized with different crosses of accusations over time. "Terfas, do not write to me to try to convince me that LGTBI people are wrong or guilty," Angela herself wrote on

this summer in an already fierce debate.

has contacted the Ministry of Equality to seek the opinion of the secretary of state on this and other issues, but has not received a response.

A new conflict is now added to this unsolved conflict: prostitution.

From the Bulgarian congress of the

came the promise of its abolition, an issue on which Podemos and by extension the Ministry of Equality have never ruled in such a categorical way.

Ángeles Rodríguez advocates for a "new sexual pact" and this week on

has said that "the pimp industry will be persecuted."

Something that does not quite convince socialist militants like Ángeles Álvarez: "They are against pimping, but not against pimps or prostitution claimants. They consider that there are legal and illegal methods in prostitution and we consider that all of them are illegal." .

MORE POWER FROM INSULT

Feminism (s) aside, the name of Ángela Rodríguez jumped to the media when in 2016 some messages from a private chat of members of Podemos Galicia were leaked in which 'Pam', apparently, called the one who was a "lame whore." his internal rival for the leadership of the formation, Carmen Santos: Rodríguez led the

current

, while Santos the

.

The terrible disqualification led to an external tidal wave (associations of people with disabilities such as FAMMA or COCEMFE called for his immediate resignation) and internal.

The environment of Podemos in Galicia close to Santos circulated a statement in which they requested his dismissal for "consistency with our principles and code of ethics."

Despite the uproar, 'Pam' has gained power since then: she is secretary of state and secretary of LGTB in the State Citizen Council of Podemos.
