I'm so afraid of a PP + Vox coalition winning the upcoming elections. They're gonna destroy all the social progress that's been made here in the last 20 years for LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights and other stuff.

And as a trans person, I'm afraid for my safety and for the availability of legal medical treatment in the future.

It's honestly demoralizing how easy it is to undo decades of progress. All it takes is a few short years of a far right govenment and we're back to the 20th century.

Spain has had a fascist dictatorship already. It did not go well.
