Women are protesting in Spain against proposed gender identity laws that would erase women's rights, allow "puberty blockers" to be given to children, and impose fines for accurate language.

WE ARE WOMEN, NOT A FEELING 💪
#SerMujerNoEsUnSentimiento #SexoNoEsGenero #Hartas #25Nov
In addition to rallying against sex self-identification, grassroots feminist organizations took to the streets to call for an end to violence against women
Feminist organizations have protested against "gender identity" laws, as well as surrogacy and prostitution, several times this year.

"Although our elites are using the word 'feminism' in their policies, they put women and females last on their agenda."

In October, PM Pedro Sánchez vowed to criminalize the sale of women for sex in the country, saying the practice “enslaves women.” Spain has “made a name for itself as the brothel of Europe”; the sex trade totals an average of $26.5 billion each year.

Some have expressed doubt over PM Sánchez's promise to criminalize the purchasing of women's bodies and continue to pressure the government to enact legislation to reduce demand and curb the industry of sexual exploitation

"Here we are, feminists!"

Rallying against male violence and the sex industry
"You will not erase us, no matter how hard you try!"

"The violence of femicide is enacted on the bodies of women, not the bodies of all"

The first silicone breast implants were performed on Japanese women trafficked into sex slavery during WWII American occupation.
The silicone, stolen from shipping docks, was injected directly into their breasts, resulting in gangrene or “silicone rot”, and in some cases, death.
As early as 1899, men were injecting women's breasts with paraffin wax, causing infections. Male doctors killed countless women by implanting them with: glass balls, wood chips, kitchen sponges, and substances destined for fuel or industrial rubber tubing.

In recent years, even silicone implants have been linked to a novel form of breast cancer and class-action lawsuits.
New FDA Guidelines identify women who suffered breast cancer as most at risk for implant cancer — the group they are most marketed towards.

The belief that womanhood can be attained through the purchasing of products and procedures is fundamentally a belief that women are a product for consumption. This is the belief system of the rapist, the incel, the pornographer, the pimp, and the punter.

“I started objectifying my body at a very young age, probably about 3 or 4 years old, because I knew that I had the spirit of a young girl inside me, but the body of a boy.
My art is not created from a place where I’m trying to ease the suffering of other women.”
— Arsenault 2010
Trans-identified Nina Arsenault compares plastic surgery — a facelift — to fisting, calling it an “erotic” experience.

Children are being groomed into gender ideology to normalize male fetishes.

“They cancelled @jk_rowling, they started calling her a TERF. I didn't even know what that was, but I know that trans people make up words to win arguments... I'm team TERF.”

— Dave Chappelle

#SexNotGender
In light of Dave Chappelle's comments, those who aren't aware of why J. K. Rowling has been slandered may be interested in reading her June 2020 essay on the topic of gender identity ideology and the rights of women and children.

Women's rights organization @SpeakUp4WomenNZ presented an argument against a sex self-identification clause being proposed in legislation.

A member of NZ Parliament, MP @EKerekere uploaded this defamatory and bullying video clip to her Facebook page after the session.
@SpeakUp4WomenNZ @EKerekere Watch @SpeakUp4WomenNZ's excellent testimony to New Zealand's Parliament arguing against enshrining sex-self identification in law.
After which, @BeeFaerie implied that SUFW didn't have enough of a social media following for her concerns to be relevant.
@SpeakUp4WomenNZ @EKerekere @BeeFaerie "It is a belief system that people have been born in the wrong body. Autogynephiles and men in dresses are not women."
Rex Landy did not mince her words in her submission. @BeeFaerie responded by turning off her camera.

The TRA who charged a woman and screamed “witch” in her face recorded themselves walking to the protest, saying, “We have to put the TERFs in their place”, and “they won't know what’s coming to them”, referring to women as “evil” and “demonic”.

Less than two months ago: imagining beating a woman.
Again, saying “Let's put the TERFs in their place”, in advance of attending the protest.

This summer a trend on TikTok saw young women and even girls listing off ‘kinks’ including choking and CNC.

⅓ of TikTok users are underage.

Streaming pornography has facilitated an increasing prevalence of sadomasochism in society.
In May, TikTok was made to remove more than 500,000 accounts in Italy following an intervention by the country’s data protection watchdog after a 10-year-old girl died of asphyxiation after participating in a BDSM “blackout challenge”.
techcrunch.com/2021/05/12/tik…
The 10-year-old girl in Italy died after taking part in a "choking game" on TikTok.

BDSM and choking are promoted by both adults and teens with nearly 300 million views combined for the search terms.
