Spanish Government Approves Controversial Trans Bill
The Spanish Government approved a new trans bill on June 27, which includes gender self-determination, sparking controversy among different groups. The bill, pending approval by the Spanish parliament, allows individuals over 16 to change their legal gender without medical requirements. Critics, including TERFs, argue it could be abused for access to women's benefits. The bill also bans conversion therapies and has been criticized by LGBTQ activists for not recognizing non-binary individuals.
The Fall of the Crypto Market. Is This The End or a Reset?
The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin hitting its lowest value since 2020 and the overall market losing over $300 billion. The initial crash was triggered by the collapse of Luna, one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies, which plummeted from $99 to $0.0004. The market's decline was exacerbated by rumors of Coinbase's financial troubles, although CEO Brian Armstrong denied bankruptcy risks. Experts like Eudald Aragonès believe the market will recover and learn from its mistakes, while economist Juan Ramón Rallo suggests a lack of buyer confidence is contributing to the market's instability. The future of the crypto market remains uncertain, with potential for either a recovery or a lasting negative stigma.
Ukrainian war: “I cried so much that I can no longer feel anything and drop more tears”
Olga, a resident of Kherson, Ukraine, recounts her experiences since the Russian occupation began in March. She describes the initial days of hiding, the takeover of the city, and the drastic changes to her daily life, including losing her job as a tutor. The article also mentions the atrocities discovered in Bucha, such as mass graves and systematic rape, and Olga's fear that similar events could occur in Kherson. Despite her desire to live in Ukraine, not Russia, she is uncertain if retaking the city by Ukrainian forces would be better, fearing more destruction and death. Olga hopes for a humanitarian corridor to escape the city.
