The future trans law that contemplates gender self-determination it has always been a question of rights. This is how the PSOE understood it when in 2017 it prepared a document in which it defended it. This is how the Yogyakarta Principles (2006), the European council (2015) or the European Court of Human Rights. It is difficult to understand the virulence with which the trans law has been attacked by a feminist sector of the PSOE and its intellectual orbit without placing the confrontation in a partisan confrontation. There is no doubt that the socialist party ruled alone in the feminist kingdom until the emergence of Podemos. His arrival was seen as an intrusion by some, aggravated by the generational gap and certain reactionary currents. The result: a lot of noise, division on the left, loss of power of feminism and stigmatization of trans people.
