Spain's center-right Partido Popular is proposing a "non-binding legislation" that would call for ending the ability to self-identify one's gender. It would become a proposal for the government to act on but they would not be legally bound to enact the change. amp.elmundo.es/espana/2026/...

What has been surprising to me here in Spain is the prevalent use of biometrics for ID cards and border controls. IDs also control access to public services. The EU could easily have its own version of ICE’s Mobile Fortify app www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

They’ve already been complicit. Many have recognized the opposition candidate after the 2024 election and Spain let him live in exile in Madrid.

I think it’s wild that:
a) Microsoft bought a media company, MSNBC, in 1996
b) even though Microsoft divested from MSNBC in 2005(!) the company has kept the “MS” part of their name, and now goes by MSNOW
