Hasn’t their socialist party been more neoliberal for a while?
It's a European socdem party, it's been liberal for a hundred years, give or take.
It's uncanny how you can never expect anything good to come from social democrats.
It's surprising because last year, they actually did pass a good law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_Trans
They actually cut it down quite a bit from what it was a grassroots law with support of politicians. And it was possible amidst the inner confusion of PSOE itself, with its transphobe "feminism" wings taking positions inside the party. There was a gap of possibility between the two discourses:
transphobe discourse representation
"we are trans-friendly as long as it's a secondary issue and you don't threaten the binary status quo" and this "trans women with penis are trying to erase us women and must not enter women toiltets"
And some sources: actually PSOE tried to cut it down a lot, but faced too much opposition mostly in the streets, and defended by the equality minister of the more leftist then-coalition party Unidas Podemos. https://www.elsaltodiario.com/ley-trans/psoe-asume-no-puede-recortar-ley-trans-aprobaci%C3%B3n-dictamen-sin-enmiendas
Also, one of the "successful" cuts was against non-binary people.
