Victims of constant threats and attacks on social networks, trans people are also worried about a proposed law from LR senators on gender transitions among minors. A mobilization on these questions was organized in Paris, Sunday May 5.
Around 700 people gathered at Place de la République in Paris on Sunday May 5 to denounce an offensive against trans people. “You should know that, when you are a trans person visible on social networks, (we receive) death threats, rape threats, almost daily, simply because we exist“, testifies Morgan Noam, activist.
Among minors, transitions are already very supervised
On social networks, hate messages equate transidentity and pedophilia, evoke “mental illnesses“that it should”lobotomize“, or even demand”eliminate“trans people. At the end of the month, a bill from LR senators must be examined. It wants to prohibit the prescription of hormones or puberty blockers for minors.”Today, there is no genital surgery for trans minors, it is not practiced. The transitions that take place are in any case supervised. The law proposes to remove any possibility for a trans minor to transition safely“, denounces Julia Tarlet, president of SOS Homophobia.
