Germany doesn't have broad protection from discrimination for any marginalized group, let alone queer people who aren't even constitutionally protected. Our anti-discimination law only exists in the first place due to EU rulings, is extremely lacking compared to other EU members and the liberals have spent the last 3 years blocking a reform that would actually make it a credible threat to bigots.

It's funny how literally every single org, pundit, party and news outlet that tells me how much Palestinians supposedly hate me is also hell-bent on making my life as a trans person as hard as they possibly can, and by funny i mean i want to send in the mfing tanks.

"Who does your gut tell you the source of Revachol's problems is?"

1. • woke
2. • woke
3. • woke
4. • woke
5. • I thought you were my circulatory system?

"Uhm ... the wokes?"

"Yes, them, but also ... Wöjacks."

"Wöjacks?"

"Yes, Wöjacks. Jacks of Wö."

It's a general problem with academics and marginalized people, the academic world just moves slower than the communities they're dealing with and they're always lagging 10 years behind in their language and can't spontaneously course-correct because direct input from the people they're talking about counts less to them than what's on the books. Really shows you the priorities.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but if not, it's exactly the opposite. Racists who believe bullshit around border stuff are already voting for Trump because they know he's the most racist "mass deportation" guy.

Lib and sucdem parties all over the imperial core are doing the exact same thing. I fimrly believe they do not do this for the vote. This is climate fascism. These politicians know what is coming and they know they will not enact policies that could mitigate the havoc that is already wreaked upon tropical regions. So what they do instead is militarizing the borders in the Southern US and the Mediterranean further and further to keep out the millions of people that will soon live in areas that just aren't habitable anymore.

This guy who knows the age of consent laws for over 200 countries by heart will soon cause damage that is going to still hurt millions of Argentinians decades from now.

I've thought about that, but because that was a closed-off trans only space and because i did not treat that server as a dedicated place where i get political and practice the according amount of opsec, i would either be recognizable with that new acc or i would have to hold back on my public interactions with people. Like, i couldn't post any selfies because people there know my face. And until today, that was something i was completely fine with. I was there because i wanted that kind of closeness and intimacy. It's like going to pride in a really skimpy outfit, y know? You expose yourself because you're in a safe space. It's public, but you know you're among your own people. That kind of vibe. I wouldn't get that back with a new acc.

Which LGBTQ priorities? When Biden talks about the rights of queer people, the only thing he brings up is gay marriage when the GOP openly talks about ending the right of trans people to exist as ourselves in public, whi9ch if you knew anything about our lifes and how we need to lead them you'd recognize as openly genocidal. Biden is a coward who doesn't even dare to say the word trans in public while DeSantis and Abbot are already making lists of trans people. What he has done instead is this shit we're discussing here, when he could've opened up planned parenthood clinics on federal land to guarantee access to free abortion and gender affirming care in red states, could've stepped in when Florida "legalized abducting trans kids out of state for forced conversion therapy*, could've coordinated the isolated efforts of some democrats on the state level to create asylum states for trans people etc. etc.

Instead, he is tiptoeing around the "complicated issue" if people like me should have basic human rights.

The derailing started as soon as you entered the thread, you bellend.

Ukraine simply drafts diagnosed trans women when they do not have their papers changed yet, and Ukraine still requires bottom surgery to even enter the legal name change process. I don't want to think about what it's like to be queer and at the frontlines of this war, heard too many stories about gay men in Ukraine marrying a woman who's their lovers' best friend so at least somebody close to them and their lover can visit them in the hospital when something happens, or so they can plan the funeral in the worst case.
