We, LGBTI+ groups from the left and ecological parties, alert our comrades on the occasion of March 31, the international day of trans visibility, elected.es as members : the rights of trans people are seriously threatened. Through them, all the rights of LGBTI+ people and women are also targeted.

What is happening in the United States at the moment illustrates a drift at work here too. The extreme right has been multiplying there for decades apocalyptic speeches on the alleged consequences of abortion, the recognition of same-sex couples, the rights of LGBTI+ people. These logorrhea are now taking on a new dimension.

This "contagion" would even be for some deliberately provoked by LGBTI+ "activists" for the purposes of sexual exploitation ("grooming"): it is the same infamous accusation previously made against gays and lesbians.
