Spain’s Moral Fuel to Diminish Gender ‘Borders’ in order to Implement Liberalism into Conservatives

The dispute between liberal and conservative countries, whereas they struggle to draw the line between stances to form coherent blocs.

Earlier at the UN Women's Chamber, a clash happened between the conservatives and liberals regarding their current heated up debate revolving around transgender and non-binary rights. 

At first, they were arguing about where each and everyone should go only based on their stances. This resulted in an atmosphere of uncertainty between delegates. Nevertheless, after the long awaited 5 minutes decision making, the council split up in two pretty obvious blocs–the conservatives and liberals. 

However, my attention suddenly altered to the Delegate of Spain’s intriguing dialogue to lobby the conservatives. She said, quoted, “..imagine someone with a different face and physique to their ID. Will you also take away their rights by prohibiting them into your country? That is why we need to recognize them as humans, rather than sticking to their preferred gender identity.”

This sparked a confusion and curiosity upon me. Because, again, to remind myself and the delegates, UN Women is a non-legally binding council. Though her move is brave, I’d say Spain’s suggestion would be considered gullible and naive because it is internationally ratified that one country is not to intervene with another's law regarding legal recognition.

To answer my doubts and concerns, an interview was fostered with the delegate of Spain regarding their further clarification regarding their engaging statement.

The Delegate of Spain, driven by her strong morality towards humanity, proposed a solution called A3D, which stands for Adaptation, Design, Dialogue, and Data Collection. The title itself is not self explanatory but once she grounded her clarification, it more or less convinced me to comply with her solution disregarding Corriere Della Sera’s bias being a conservative-leaning media.

Although Spain declares itself a Catholic-Roma country, it is open to progressive agendas like LGBTQ+ movement to ensure a welcoming environment for everyone.

Quoted, “..yes, you can have your own religious law, but the world is progressive..”, emphasizing her point of how globally this movement is going. Ascending there, she added on how the framework A3D really works. For example, if someone did a criminal act, their malice will be recognized disregarding how distant they address themselves to the ones on their legal documents.

“Why do we need to make it difficult? Why do we need to make it longer? Because everyone has a different perspective on how they refer and view themselves.” The Delegate of Spain said at the end of the interview. 

As the interview concluded, I found myself pondering the Delegate of Spain's perspective. Her proposal offers a practical framework for navigating complex issues like identity recognition, reminding us that even in non-binding settings, thoughtful approaches can foster clearer discussions. While the conservatives and liberals formed distinct blocs, Spain's lobbying highlighted the value of listening across divides, showing how one delegate's insight can prompt reflection without forcing immediate consensus.
