  • The PSOE, despite its feminist tradition, has adopted two amendments that discriminate against the trans and queer community.
  • These amendments bar trans women from women's competitions and exclude queer and non-normative identities from the acronym LGTBIQ+
  • This action unnecessarily limits the party's commitment to equality, and diverges from its historical alignment with feminism and against discrimination.
  • The feminists promoting these amendments seem to have reduced their fight to a single issue: the defence of the materiality of sex versus gender.
  • Trans women in sports present new contradictions that must be addressed, not through the abandonment of the trans community, but through debate and the search for solutions.
  • The PSOE appears to be moving towards reactionary viewpoints that view gender as an ideology or a falsification.
  • This stance is disconcerting, considering the PSOE's track record and commitment to the protection of minority rights.

Conclusion: The PSOE needs to clarify whether this viewpoint represents the party as a whole and how it continues its fight for respect for diversity and the elimination of discrimination.
