This small sentence, which appears at the top of a poster depicting a couple with a transgender man expecting a baby, has been the subject of lively debate since Friday.

not accepting”to see family planning as the subject of a smear campaign against gender minoritiesThe association suggests consulting with its lawyers.”prosecute hate mongers, who are sometimes elected officials of the Republic“. “Sexual and reproductive rights are a whole. At Planning, we don’t prioritize them, we fight for abortion as much as we fight for trans people’s sexual health or youth access to sex education.“, the organization justifies. Family planning immediately received support from left-wing figures such as Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who denounced “hate attacks“or the EELV party, which condemned”.the staunchly transphobic cyberattack aimed at” association.
