The culture wars are coming to France

Le Planning Familial

The infection of France by le wokisme continues apace. Last year, president Emmanuel Macron vowed to stand against intersectionality only to see his parliamentary majority swept away in the recent National Assembly elections in part by the leftist coalition of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Now a new woketarian front is opening against the mores of traditional France as transgenderism asserts itself with a campaign by Le Planning Familial, the non-profit association influenced by the movement created originally in the United States, active in France for 62 years and that has recently transitioned itself.

The movement, which is subsidised by the government, has moved from offering advice on contraception and abortion to a new focus on racism, white privilege and transgenderism. It has declared that the penis is not a male organ. Its latest efforts declaring that men can get pregnant have been defended by the government minister for equality, Isabelle Rome.
