Podcast Summary: CANCELLED ❌ – "Cómo CONVERTIRTE en MUJER en unos SENCILLOS PASOS ❌ INOCENTE DUKE"
Host: Wall Street Wolverine
Guest: Inocente Duque
Date: February 1, 2026
Main Theme & Purpose
This episode delves into the surreal realities brought by Spain’s new "Ley Trans," which enables legal gender change through a simple bureaucratic process. Inocente Duque shares his own satirical experience with legal gender transition to illustrate the unintended consequences, societal contradictions, and legal loopholes of current identity and inclusion-driven legislation. Alongside, the two critique broader cultural, political, and economic trends, particularly focusing on the performative nature of identity politics, power structures in Spanish politics, media complicity, and the state of social activism.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Inocente Duque’s “Transition”: A Satirical Experiment
- Motivation: Duque wanted to make a documentary with an original premise and found Spain's Ley Trans, which allows for self-identification and legal gender change, to be perfect (03:08).
- “Tenía ganas de hacer un documental, pero no sabía de qué. Y me esta ley, que será conocida como la Ley Trans, permitirá a cualquier persona ir al registro civil y cambiarte de sexo. Y yo no me lo creía.” — Inocente Duque [00:02, repeated at 03:08]
- The Registration Process:
- The process, according to Duque, is now no more difficult than “cambiarte de dirección” (change of address) and requires almost no scrutiny (08:17).
- The law even explicitly prohibits psychological assessments:
- “La ley trans de Irene Montero lo que hace es quitar esos procesos. No quitarlos, prohibirlos.” — Inocente Duque [07:00]
- At the notary, everything is formalized in minutes; judges and bureaucrats have to comply, even if personally skeptical (10:09).
- “Tú te cambias de sexo, como te cambias de dirección.” — Inocente Duque [08:17]
2. Legal and Social Loopholes Created by Ley Trans
- Abuse and “Hacking” the System:
- The law now allows anyone to self-declare as a woman and, theoretically, access certain spaces or quotas.
- Example: Companies can now meet gender parity quotas by hiring self-declared women (15:14).
- “Ahora el dueño de ese negocio puede contratar a gente como yo diciendo que son mujeres y cumpliendo perfectamente con la ley… Los puestos que se supone que son para mujeres biológicas, al carajo.” — Inocente Duque [14:33]
- Impact on Feminism & Identity Movements:
- The unintended result is internal division and the undoing of certain milestones of feminism through excessive inclusivity (15:14–15:35).
- “Han dejado un agujero abierto donde tú te puedes meter. Lo tenían todo controlado las feministas.” — Inocente Duque [15:35]
- Mocking the Notion of Accepting One’s Identity:
- Duque makes a point about being a member of the LGBT collective “por antenotario” (11:49), highlighting the performative and legalistic absurdity.
3. Registering the "Inclusive Language" as Intellectual Property
- Artistic-Satirical Project:
- Duque, leveraging his experience with intellectual property, created a fictional novel using inclusive language (ending words with "e", etc.), and registered this "language" as his own creation (23:44–29:50).
- “Al tener yo el registro, esto es la hostia. Porque esto significa que me pertenece.” — Inocente Duque [23:44]
- Now, theoretically, anyone using these terms in specific contexts could be liable for infringement.
- Registered over 280,000 terms: “Joder, fui palabra por palabra, 280 mil palabras.” — Inocente Duque [29:50]
- “Es una jugada maestra, porque ¿Quién mejor que yo para ser la dueña del lenguaje inclusivo?” — Inocente Duque [31:45]
4. On the Spanish Political and Media Class
- Power for Privilege vs. Public Service:
- The hosts discuss how Spanish politicians (specifically from Podemos and PSOE) use their position for cushy lifestyles, not for public service (17:43).
- Main aim of the political class: survival and privilege, not significant change.
- “Viven ahí de cojones y ¿Y qué ocurre?... No pretende ganar, pretende estar ahí y seguir viviendo.” — Inocente Duque [17:43]
- Media Manipulation & Generational Shift:
- TV remains powerful for pensioner voters, but the future is with social media, which old political structures are slow to adapt to (51:51–52:29).
- Leftist influencers are less relevant, but better rewarded within the establishment compared to their conservative counterparts (52:48–54:53).
5. Societal Contradictions & The Tyranny of Minorities
- Performative Empathy & The “Dictatorship of Minorities”:
- Critique of how major social policies are being dictated by concern for small minorities, often in a paternalistic or condescending tone (44:13–45:35).
- “Es la dictadura de los traumas de las minorías...” — Interviewer [45:25]
- “Es pena, tío. Es pena. Es que me dan pena. ¿Te dan pena? ¿Por qué te dan pena? ¿Quién eres tú para que te dé pena otra persona?” — Inocente Duque [45:35]
- Instrumentalization of Victimhood for Power and Profit:
- Many “anti-system” or “anti-capitalist” groups are actually products of the capitalist system, profiting through their activism (47:34).
- “El capitalismo es el único sistema que te permite vivir de él, criticándolo.” — Inocente Duque [47:34]
- The supposed “aristocracy obrera”: well-paid, establishment-approved “class warriors.” (49:28)
6. Spanish Political Infighting and Scandals
- Vendettas and Hypocrisy:
- Discussion of how leftist parties attack each other, often exposing sexual harassment coverups (66:44–69:11).
- “Lo que están diciendo el uno del otro es quién ha acosado a más tías que el otro, tío, ¿Pero qué es esto, tío?” — Inocente Duque [68:12]
- Academia and journalists as complicit in covering up abuses for political ends.
- Chronic Political Cynicism:
- Tales of politicians living large (Trump envy), abuse of public money, and cynicism about the entire system (60:36–63:28).
7. Changing Cultural Atmosphere: Accustomed to Outrage
- Loss of the Thrill: Early “wars” of YouTube political dissent felt dangerous, now people are more accustomed to open disagreement (39:10–42:04).
- “Yo no sabía que habría tanta gente que pensaba eso y que no se atrevía a hablar.” — Inocente Duque [40:10]
- Shift in Language as the Point of No Return: The “TODES” moment marked the crossing of absurdity (42:12).
- “El TODES, tío. Cuando escuché todes no puede ser.” — Inocente Duque [42:12]
8. Anecdotes: Brazil, Bars, and the Value of Street Smarts
- Life in Rio/Brazil:
- Comparison of cultural attitudes, from body image to favela life, and the Brazilian cult of body augmentation (32:55–37:30).
- Bar Stories and Social Psychology:
- Many tales from Duque’s past as a bar owner, featuring lessons on reading people, managing crises, and “psychology of the night” (73:10–82:13).
- “Cualquier camarero te va a decir que son medio psicólogos también.” — Inocente Duque [74:25]
- Bar owner as local psychologist and “defender of territory.”
- “Hay que parecer que tienes dominada la situación y que ahí están tus cojones.” — Inocente Duque [81:54]

Tone and Style
The conversation is sharp, irreverent, often satirical, with both host and guest employing dark humor, sarcasm, and strong language. The tone is critical and deeply skeptical of prevailing mainstream social and political narratives, favoring anecdotal, first-hand observation over ideological purity or correctness.
This episode offers a critical, sometimes comedic, exploration of how bureaucratic identity, political virtue-signaling, and media spectacle have come to dominate—and sometimes undermine—public life in Spain.
