Madrid council ordered the seizure of a campaign bus launched by an ultra-conservative group that was emblazoned with the slogan: "Boys have penises. Girls have vaginas. Don’t be fooled." The bus, paid for by ultra-right group Hazte Oir, began touring the Spanish capital this week before planned visits to other cities across Spain, with its campaign against transgender awareness and swiftly provoked outrage.
The message on the bright orange bus reads: "Boys have penises, girls have vaginas. Don’t let them fool you. If you’re born a man, you’re a man. If you’re a woman, you will continue to be a woman."

Last year they produced posters across the Basque Country using the slogan ‘There are girls with penises and boys with vulvas’, a message that enraged Hazte Oir, which launched a failed petition to ban the adverts.
The poster from Chrysallis Euskal Herria designed to raise transgender awareness among children.
"Our objective is to denounce laws of sexual indoctrination that various regions have passed to promote sexual diversity among minors, threatening freedom of education, and the right of parents to educate their children [as they see fit]," read a statement from Hazte Oir about their latest campaign.
The group explained that the bus was designed to promote their pamphlet "Did You Know What They Want to Teach Your Child at School?" which claims to highlight the "truth" of gender diversity laws.
The pamphlet features a cover of two children raising their arms in a Nazi salute before a rainbow flag.

The Socialist parliamentary group called on the public prosecutor to investigate whether it constituted a hate-speech crime and there was cross-party condemnation of the campaign at a Madrid council meeting.
On Tuesday evening Madrid city council authorized the seizure of the bus as it failed to meet municipal standards which dictate that advertising can only appear on municipal vehicles.
The council also indicated that an investigation had been launched to determine whether equality laws or those regarding hate-speech had been breached.
I wonder what would have happened if a group of guys dressed up as giant penises at the Jan21 womans march and tried talking to the ladies dressed up as vaginas? My guess is that all heck would have broken loose. Good times, good times.
“In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Apparently common sense, and REALITY, are now illegal as well.
Pero, es todavia la verdad! No tiene que gusta.
(But, it’s still the truth. You don’t have to like it.)
X and Y chromosomes are racist. Errr I mean sexist... errr. I mean transphobic.
My tagline isn’t observed universally, but at least these bussers know what’s what.
A time of universal deceit.
