French Demonstrators Rally for Trans Rights Amid Controversial Senate Report

[Social Media]

 

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across France on Sunday, denouncing what they perceived as an "offensive" against transgender rights following the introduction of legislation on gender transition for minors by right-wing Senators.

 

In cities like Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Montpellier, activists, left-wing politicians, trade unionists, and young people gathered, demanding "health resources for transitions" and expressing solidarity with trans individuals worldwide.

 

The protests, organized by over 800 groups and personalities, including France Unbowed and the Socialists, saw a diverse array of voices advocating for the protection of trans rights. In Paris, the demonstration centered at Place de la Republique, drawing a significant crowd in the early afternoon.

 

Similar rallies took place in Brussels and Liege in Belgium, indicating the transnational nature of the movement. However, some gatherings faced disruptions, as witnessed in Montpellier, where two individuals threw stones at protesters. Organizers highlighted the persistent threats and challenges faced by the transgender community, emphasizing the importance of defending their rights against political attacks and misinformation.

 

The demonstrations were triggered by a report from center-right Senators regarding transgender minors, which trans rights groups interpreted as potentially enabling "conversion therapy." Lawmakers are set to debate a proposed bill based on this report later this month.

 

Protestors also condemned a recent book titled "Transmania," alleging it to be transphobic. The authors refuted these claims, asserting that the book aimed to shed light on abuses related to transgender identity and criticized the accusation as an attempt at censorship.

Amidst these protests, stories of personal hardship emerged, such as that of an older couple in Paris searching for their 27-year-old child who disappeared after transitioning, underscoring the real-life implications of the debate on transgender rights.

I am curious the double standards expressed by the trans all over the world. They use the freedom of speech and many other freedoms to try to make people accept them, yet do not want anyone who is against trans to be able to speak or be opinionated. 

Also, I am curious why they think the government should pay for their conversion from their current sex? The parents or the individual should shoulder this cost since it is a choice made by the individual that is non-life threatening. 

I also think anyone who converts to another sex should legally be told they must inform their partners of their previous sex before marriage. I cannot imagine myself falling in love with one of them and wanting to make a family only to find out she was a man before and can not reproduce. haha....

If you are a biological male and want to think that you are a woman go ahead but only if you go all the way... NO dicks in the womens' restroom or sports.

if they make the trans pay out of pocket, NO PROBLEM

 

but why waste money on mutilations of teenagers that might regret it

 

you can't get a tattoo nor drink alcohol or drive a car

 

but you can decide you get your genitals mutilated for life ?

 

the new eugenics ?

 

many end up killing themselves, because the problem is not the body, it is the brain

Quite so. This trans lobby is dangerous. The book “Transmania”aims at warning people about the dangers posed by unregulated medicalized transitions without supervisions. Some ten-agers, some say even kids, are encourage to undergo the procedure only to realize later it was a mistake and being mutilated for life as the operation is alleged to be irreversible. But wait until the Moslem brothers come to power in France: Sharia  is already enforced in some areas (witness recent killings in that country of mine) and the disease is spreading. Trans, feminists, LGBTQRSTW…et al will be the first victims.
