Greg Owen at LGBTQ Nation:

Across France on Sunday, thousands rallied for trans rights in the wake of calls by right-wing senators to ban hormone therapy and puberty blockers for trans youth. A coalition of LGBTQ+ activists, left-wing members of parliament, trade unionists, and young people joined protests in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Montpellier, the Ministry of the Interior reported. Over 10,000 demonstrators turned out, with the largest group gathered at Paris’s Place de la République, an 8.4-acre public square popular for protests. “Anti-patriarchy, anti-capitalism, solidarity with trans people all over the world!” protesters chanted in the French capital, according to Le Monde. The Socialist Party and left-leaning La France Insoumise party were among more than 800 groups and individuals calling for demonstrations.

[...] Anti-trans legislation has appeared in the French Parliament in the wake of a report on trans minors commissioned by fringe lawmakers in the right-wing Les Républicains party, the French publications Le Figaro and Le Point reported on March 18. The legislation calls for a ban on gender-affirming hormone therapy and puberty blockers, commonly prescribed to trans youth to combat gender dysphoria. Most major American medical associations consider such care safe, effective, and necessary for the well-being of trans minors.

Senator Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio called gender-affirming care for trans youth a “growing phenomenon in the media and in public life,” while claiming “all” foreign countries are rejecting the life-saving treatments. Their claim is untrue. “Today, it is done too quickly, young people are steered toward a transition too quickly. Instead, they need to be accompanied regarding their unease and encouraged to seek psychiatric care,” the senator said. The aforementioned report, written by the Observatoire de la Petite Sirène (“Little Mermaid Observatory”), an organization notoriously opposed to gender-affirming care for minors, is replete with alarmist language, calling the practice a “health scandal,” and “social contagion,” while highlighting painful “de-transitions.”

Pro-trans protests erupted all over France on Sunday over a proposed ban on gender-affirming care, in which the proponents of the proposed ban justify its proposal with pushing baseless canards, such as the nonexistent “social contagion” myth.

Much love to this old lady whose reaction to Macron's Great Saucepan Ban of 2023 was to straight-up smuggle a saucepan in her purse past the police checkpoint to go clang it with a spoon near the president with renewed anger and determination.

Protesters today greeted the Prime Minister on an official visit by banging their shoes against walls to make noise, so I wonder how long we'll still be allowed to wear shoes.

(Joking about this is risky because after the saucepan protests on Monday, Le Gorafi (the Onion's French cousin) joked that the government would now take action to seize pans—and it became a reality on Thursday... We can't forget that our satirical news outlets are disproportionately affected by the bullshit inflation.)
