Isabelle Rome, the Minister Delegate for Equality between Women and Men, supported Family Planning on Monday, criticized for using the image of a pregnant transgender man in a communication campaign.
“Family planning is an essential historic association for women's rights and access to contraception and abortion.
I fully support its action, ”said Isabelle Rome, in her transmitted words.
"Let's not let the far right stir up hatred by instrumentalizing a communication campaign which I can understand does not achieve consensus," she added.
The right denounces "drifts"
The Minister refers to a Family Planning poster bearing the slogan “In Planning, men can also be pregnant”.
A drawing represents a transgender man (that is to say, born biologically female and whose gender identity is male) during his pregnancy.
This message was strongly criticized on social networks, in particular by right-wing or far-right voices.
MP RN Laure Lavalette thus castigated "archi-subsidized activists who only seek to spread their grotesque and false ideology", while Laurence Trochu (Reconquest!) denounced the "doctrines" of the association.
“We don't want it,” she wrote on Twitter, with the hashtag “#ProtegeonsNosEnfants”.
Denouncing "drifts" which "must stop", the deputy (LR) Fabien Di Filippo estimated for his part that Family Planning "is moving away from science to pour into the most questionable ideological activism".
And we know that #PlanningFamily comes to schools to spread its doctrines.

"Hate instigators"
In response, the feminist association denounced in a press release a “campaign of denigration on the back of gender minorities”, and indicated that it was considering possible legal action against the “instigators of hatred, who are sometimes elected officials. of the Republic ".
On the merits, Family Planning stressed that it practiced an "unconditional" welcome.
Some trans people “seek advice for contraception, abortion, medical monitoring of their transition”, and “it is up to us to make them feel welcome”, he added.
