Beyond the batucadas and hakas, the celebration of March 8 has reopened some important debates that show where the division in current feminism is going. What demonstration do you go to the morning, at the afternoon or two? In addition to this we have the following reflection: The worst of all is not to be able to discuss, when the debate closes with a cheap qualifier towards the otherhope is lost.
A group of feminist approached the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, to send her regret for the fact that some articles of the Trans Law that allow, among others, The interior change of sex without any control. There is debate, although it seems that this fudge had forgotten. Nor have we forgotten the sexual aggressors that went out to the street ahead of time following the legal disaster of anthology that meant the application of this law.
Calvo made it very clear that the woman is not a collective, it is, more or less, half of the population.
Another interesting point in the plane of ideas is the presence of Carmen Calvo as Divergent opinion and open to debate within feminism. We are not going to explain in this column the different sides into which official feminism is divided, it would be complicated and requires a lot of space. What seems clear is that the debate between the concepts of biological and gender sex is not closed. It is highly recommended to hear the interview left by the current president of the State Council with Carlos Alsina Last Friday, March 7.
Calvo made it very clear that the woman is not a collective, it is, more or less, half of the population. He affirmed without fear that his party cannot be queer, nor practice a “embankment of the genre”, without taking into account the existence of biological sex. He also said that the feminism in which she believes is, by definition, abolitionist of prostitution. In other interventions, Calvo has asked the debate to be deeper and more delicate, that it does not close with the adjective “Transfoba” and that the parties are heard.
Calvo states that biological sex exists and is decisive. There is also gender as a broader concept, a social and cultural construction that determines the individual in their form of perception. Between these two definitions is the debate and is a debate that has not been well defined and that has been manipulated with perverse intentions. To reopen this discussion, reflect, correct and listen to others, it seems, without a doubt, one of the most sensible actions than contemporary feminism must continue to perform.
