About this episode
In episode 4 of The Right Kind of Family, our reporters travel back to Spain, a country which has become a model in the development of progressive transgender rights at the national and regional level. In 2023, the Spanish Congress passed the so-called Trans Law, which focuses primarily on allowing individuals to change their name and gender on ID cards without requiring medical reports. However, Spain is also a country which saw the birth of the VOX, a party whose political platform hinges about the concept of "gender idoleology". Crucially, VOX is also one of the initiators of the Political Network for Values. Understanding the rise of the Political Network for Values implies understanding how gender politics has shaped Spain and Europe over the past two decades.
