The trans law has confronted this Monday representatives of Vox and Sumar who have starred in a heated debate in which Vox deputy María Ruiz has called Sumar’s spokeswoman, Elizabeth Duval, “chronically ill” due to the hormonal treatment she receives as a trans woman
It was during the electoral debate held this Monday by the EFE Agency, focused on equality policies, where representatives of the PSOE, PP, Vox and Sumar have participated, and in which LGTBI policies have been addressed.
The Vox spokeswoman has advanced that if they govern her formation, she will repeal the trans law and has expressed her concern for the future of children and minors who decide to take hormones and “become chronically ill for life.”
At this point in the debate, Sumar’s spokesperson for feminism, equality, and LGTBI rights and freedoms, Elizabeth Duval, asked her if she considered her chronically ill.
“If you have to constantly take medication, yes,” replied the Vox representative who later admitted that “it is not a disease”, but it is a problem, since being constantly medicated “is negative for your health”.
The PSOE Equality Secretary, Andrea Fernández, has described this demonstration as “violent” and has asked her if she also considers her a chronic patient, since she takes the contraceptive pill daily to avoid getting pregnant.
From the PP, the senator and spokesperson for the Equality, Gender Violence and Social Rights commissions, Patricia Rodríguez, has criticized the trans law, which she has said has been approved urgently and without listening to all the experts involved, and He has advanced that his party will pass its own legislation.
Duval, for his part, has wanted to refute what in his opinion are falsehoods and hoaxes spread around this law and has assured that it is a lie that it is going to cause massive hormones or genital mutilation of minors.
He has recalled, in this sense, that the competence in matters of Health is of the autonomies and that in the Community of Madrid it was Cristina Cifuentes who carried out a trans law.
