The controversial tweet of the former trans deputy of the PSOE Carla Antonelli who compares the veto of athletics with a genocide

The veto of athletics to transsexual athletes once again calls into question one of Irene Montero's star laws, at least in relation to sport. The president of the body, Sebastian Coe, announced yesterday that as of March 31, no transgender athlete who has gone through male puberty will be allowed to participate in competitions that score for the world ranking. A decision that has provoked an endless number of reactions in which allusions to the Minister of Equality have not been lacking.

And it is that the "serious consequences" that the participation of trans athletes has for women's sport has become one of the great battles of feminism. However, Montero has not criticized the veto or admitted errors in her law and has simply limited herself to announcing that she "will continue to fight for the full inclusion of trans people, also in sports."

who has expressed with special harshness on social networks has been Carla Antonelli, a historic activist of the trans collective and one of the greatest references of the LGTBI + movement and of the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero. The former socialist leader, who has become the star signing of Más Madrid after leaving the ranks of the PSOE precisely because of the division within the party that generated the Trans Law, considers that society wants to confine trans people in ghettos and that this decision by the International Athletics Federation is proof of that.

"The International Athletics Federation prohibits trans athletes from competing in women's events, where the Federation itself recognizes that there are no trans athletes competing and therefore they do not have real data to make this violent and exclusive decision, made only by external noise. The persecution, targeting, harassment, discrimination and isolation of transgender people in the world already acquires shades of the dawn of genocide and extermination sector of the social fabric, due to ethnicity, origin, functional diversity, sexual orientation or gender identity and/or expression", he has published on his official Twitter profile.


The hard "tweet" published by Carla Antonelli Twitter

However, it is not true that there is no trans athlete competing, since the body itself admits that it affects a total of 13 athletes.

The one who was the first transsexual representative of democracy left the ranks of the PSOE in October due to her "deep disappointment" with the processing of the trans law. Seven months after her departure, she will return to the political arena at the hands of Mónica García. And she will continue to be a benchmark in the defense of the trans collective.
