• Legislation Sánchez admits that the law of yes is yes has generated a "problem": "And I fall short"

  • Politics The keys to the Trans Law: sex change in 4 months, from the age of 12, without a doctor or hormones

And in the midst of the political and judicial chaos unleashed by the law of

only yes is yes

, now comes the Trans Law.

The second star rule of Irene Montero is on the verge of its final approval and critical feminists and the opposition delve into the lack of credibility of the

Ministry of Equality

to redouble the alarm.

If the Law on Sexual Freedom has brought with it sentence reductions for more than 400 sexual offenders -and growing every day-, it is warned that the risk "is even worse" with the effects that gender self-determination will have for the rights of women and, above all, for the protection of minors.

For the entry into force of the Trans Law there are still two steps left.

One is given today.

The

Senate

will approve the regulation in plenary.

And it will do so by introducing two minor technical corrections: the term "procedures" is changed to "processes" in an article and a reference to "intra-gender violence" that had been forgotten after the concept was eliminated was deleted.

Nothing substantial is touched.

But the fact that modifications have been made requires their return to

Congress

to give final approval.

This is the second step that is missing, and it could take place on

February 23

.

That the law of

only yes is yes

has generated, in the words of the Government itself, "social alarm", has caused the PP and critical feminists to return to the charge against the Trans Law in recent days.

A norm that they have been warning about due to its "serious consequences" and that is marked by controversy, suspicions and doubts.

Not surprisingly, it is criticized and questioned by socialist personalities of the stature of

Carmen Calvo

and led to a bloody political battle between the PSOE and Podemos, in which the majority partner of the Government warned of the problems of unconstitutionality that the part that affects the self-determination of minors -from the age of 12- could have.

That was his justification for presenting amendments that toughened the requirements for those under 16 years of age, that is, for those who could be seen as being outside the "maturity" demanded by the Constitutional Court to endorse the transition from one sex to the other.

Despite the critical reports issued by the

Council of State

or the General Council of the Judiciary on various aspects, especially minor ones, the

Ministry of Equality

has chosen to ignore most of these warnings.

Thus, Minister Irene Montero affirms that "trans rights are human rights" and defends that these people live their lives as they feel, "without guardianships or witnesses" who say who they are.

Also the youngest.

With these premises, the perverse effects of the Trans Law are denied for approving the change of sex with a mere personal statement in the

Civil Registry

.

Without a psychological or medical report to prove gender dysphoria or two years of hormonal therapy, as has been requested up to now.

"Social Contagion"

Thus, fraud is minimized or denied by people who seek to take advantage of the condition of women or the risk of minors who take the step of changing their sex -later pushing themselves to hormonal treatments- confused by the ups and downs of adolescence or by "social contagion". » without the prior protection of going through a psychologist.

But these denials collide with the lack of credibility in which Equality has entered with the law of

only yes is yes

.

Because it was also maintained that nothing bad would happen with that rule.

“There is still not a single reduction in sentences known.

And it will not be known, it is macho propaganda, "said Irene Montero in Congress.

In addition, the suspicion that hangs over the Trans Law also has a lot to do with the way in which it has been processed.

It has been done in a hurry in Congress and the Senate, despite having been one of the laws that has provoked the most social debate so far this legislature and that needs to be legally fine-tuned due to the important implications it will have.

In this sense, the opposition demanded that appearances be allowed to listen to the opinion of experts, professionals or feminists, but PSOE, Unidas Podemos and their partners slammed that possibility.

The deputy secretary of Social Policies of the PP,

Carmen Navarro

, called last Friday to avoid "a new error" after what was seen with the law of

only yes is yes

.

And she stressed that there is still time to "stop" this rule to promote a process that is done from the "seriousness and reflection" that this matter requires.

The people's deputy Rosa María Romero

already pointed it out

before in Congress, when she described the Trans Law as a "

déjà vu

" of the law of

only yes is yes

and when she snapped at the minister before the "terrible consequences" that the norm will bring.

"Hasn't what happened with the law of

only yes is yes

served you as a precedent ?"

Amelia Valcárcel

, a leading feminist for the PSOE for years and one of the voices that has led the opposition to the Trans Law from women's associations, is blunt in this regard.

“The law that is releasing criminals and sex offenders from prison and reducing sentences is of the same authorship as the Trans Law, which the Senate is expected to approve in days.

From one it is already proven what it produces.

The other is even worse », she wrote yesterday.

Similarly, the

Alliance Against the Erasure of Women

warns of the "disturbing parallels between the Trans Law and the law of

only yes is yes

."

"We show our utmost alarm given that the dire consequences that have been seen immediately" in the first law "will be multiplied by a thousand in the short, medium and long term when the Trans Law is implemented," she underlines.

The association that brings together feminists opposed to this norm denounces a setback in the "basic rights and liberties of women and girls", as well as that the law "colonises and betrays feminism".

For this reason, Pedro Sánchez is called to reflect "on the risks associated with the self-determination of the registered sex and that, in the face of minority interests, prioritize the rights of women and the integrity of children."
