During these last few days, the debate on the Trans Law has been put on the table again following a case of alleged irregularities during the last year in Ceuta. Thirty-seven men from the State Security Forces, Local Police and Armed Forces of the city have decided to change their DNI to be considered women.
After this, it has come to be thought that they could be committing an alleged massive fraud. These people might not be changing because of how they feel, but to have better opportunities in the civil service tests. And none of these have changed their appearance or their name.
“They do it to take advantage of a law,” said LGTBI activist Toño Abad in And now Sonsoles. And this topic has also reached the set of Let’s see on Telecinco, where Francisco, a 42-year-old female soldier who managed to change her ID recently, did not hesitate to sit down.
However, and even though the document states that she is a woman, she did not want to change her physical appearance or her name, something that has caught the attention of the presenters, who wanted to know more about the matter. “Hello Francisco, are you a man or a woman?” Joaquín Prat began to ask.
Francisco has not hesitated to answer that she is a woman because she feels that way and the law has “allowed her to make that change.” After this, the presenter wanted to know if he was diagnosed with gender dysphoria, to which he answered no. Given this, Prat has not been able to contain the desire to debate his situation and his possible hidden interest.
“I can think that what you want is to put on the table the flaws or waters that the Trans Law makes, for example. I can think that you want to benefit from positive discrimination within the armed forces. I can think of a lot of things. All except that you are a woman,” the journalist has forcefully expressed.
Prat has assured that he cannot get out of his mind of people who “are truly born feeling like a woman and live trapped in a man’s body or vice versa.” A questioning discourse that Patricia Pardo also wanted to adopt. “I tell you this with all due respect because I would like to truly understand you,” she began to explain. And she doesn’t understand why she doesn’t condemn people who want to benefit from the law.
“You will be with me that this is not a coincidence because it cannot be. However, believing you to be transgender, it is difficult for me to understand that you do not want there to be a filter so that this does not happen. If you feel like a woman and fight For your rights you cannot say ‘it’s okay, gentlemen, everyone here feels like a woman when it suits them’,” the presenter added.
After this, Joaquín Prat wanted to know if he uses the male or female changing rooms. Something to which Francisco has responded that in the barracks they force him to be in the men’s barracks, but outside he can do whatever he wants.
“If I go to the gym, are you going to be with me in the men’s locker room or are you going to meet my partner in the women’s locker room?” the presenter asked. And in response to the soldier’s statement that she would go to the female one, the journalist was blunt: “Bloody hell, I’ll tell you.”
