Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Ok, I am in a real mess and I don't know what to do. Today is voting day for the special territories in Spain, that have a different sub-set of laws. All the political parties have failed me in the previous years... I was planning to just not to vote or waste it in a joke political party...


There is one political party, though. The only one that has four pages on its program about protecting transexuality, advancing the social recognition and protection of the collective, improving the rights and removing transexuality as a DSM-IV disorder.


It sounds like the best option to vote, but as for the rest of they programme... They are one of those parties crazed with nationalism, splitting from the main country, removing the main language I use and replacing it with the regional one I can't speak... They have a lot of thing about protecting the local people, but others that are not exactly good and go against my principles. They are what came out of distillating the pro-terrorism abolished political parties.


So I don't know what to do. I have one hour to decide.

ugh this is the whole Vasque Nationalist thing again? I heard they cycle every few years  ::) ::)

We had the typical nationalist one, and two years ago the "banned party" was finally allowed after publicly condemning terrorism.

They propose things I so much want, such as stopping the construction of a new highway over a green area or improving renting, but not really happy about their proposals for education or language.

I doubt they'll win, but knowing how lax the EU is with a lot of stuff they could very well have independence if they pushed hard enough...

I think your current system (not perfect) does an OK job of helping TG people.

To me, some local TG collectives are quite crazed about this. We already had a new TG protection law approved on June, but depending on the political party it will move quicker or slower. What appears in Bildu's program is everything that was already approved and even if it moves slower, it is already legal and working.


Mi usual stance is just voting to a "green" party, the only thing I actually care about. I don't give a cr*p about my rights or my city, but.... The environment is the only thing I actually care about. IF I had to vote to this "bildu" thing, it would be only to counter balance the results. Nobody is going to do us a favor, but anybody with majority can cause a real problem again.
