Mystery NY donor funds Basque campaign showing girls with penises and boys with vulvasNude cartoons went up in parts of northern Spain to raise awareness about transgender childrenIt really is that simple: “There are girls with penises and boys with vulvas.” A new public awareness campaign by the Basque advocacy group Chrysallis Euskal Herria, an association of families with transgender children, has hit the bus shelters and subway stations of the Basque Country and Navarre, in northern Spain.The campaign was funded by an anonymous donor from New York with Basque family roots, who donated €28,000 in exchange for assurances that his or her identity would remain under wraps, the association said.The 150 posters distributed across mass transit networks show drawings of four nude children holding hands: a boy and a girl with vulvas, and another boy and girl with penises.
