    The UK doesn’t recognise more than two genders either so applying for assylum in the UK if somebody isn’t a man or woman won’t make any difference to them being recognised.

    It is called TERF island for a reason.

      No, they didn’t. The fact is that they are coming after trans folk now, but they were definitely not the first on the list, just the latest.

      It is clear that enough Americans are OK with the fascist track we are on. Otherwise Trump would have been defeated in a landslide.

      Stay safe out there, and keep those you care about safe. This ain’t gonna be pretty.

        The US population is just struggling too much to care, that’s part of the playbook: keep people poor and the rich rich, so that the economy will be the main driver of votes, and of course the sitting party is always to blame for the bad (or perceived bad) economy, so people vote for the other party no matter what. The same thing is brewing in east germany with AfD stemming basically from the same economic problems, and you’d think they know a thing or two about fascism there.

        As horrifying as it is, wars are good for the economy because governments are printing money like they’re no tomorrow to build weapons and ammunition, it creates tons of jobs. It’ll come at the cost of a depression when tomorrow finally comes, but that’ll be the next party’s problem, and people on average can’t see much further than the tip of their nose. Then they’ll vote the fascists back in to “fix” the economy again, just in time for the economy to start turning and take credit from the previous administration’s policies. People don’t want progress because progress involves compromises while they’re hurting right now, they don’t want to compromise for the right thing.

        Nobody would care about trans people, immigrants, green energy, electric cars, etc if the lower middle class was wealthy. People care because of the perception it’s taking away things from them in a time of need where they can’t afford it. For trans people that’s DEI being perceived as favoring against them, for green energy that’s going the more expensive route they can’t afford/it’s cheaper to set their trucks to run coal and not have to put AdBlue in or replace a clogged up DPF. They want regulations gone not because they don’t care about the environment, but because they hurting right now financially and it’s costing them right now.

          I am aware. I am saying we are further down the “Then they came for…” part of the poem.

    I invite y’all to Germany. We have legally recognised three genders plus changing your name and gender entry has just become easier (although politicians of the most likely coming up government said they want to reverse the latter, though that party is not exactly known for keeping their word).

        The world wants teachers, doctors, and other specialists, but it can be very difficult to leave without money or higher education. You could look into masters and PHD programs internationally and try to leave via study to employment.

        Yeah, I think (but am not 100% sure) this still applies, although you only need one gender related name, all other names are free for you to choose. And if you have the diverse gender designation you obviously probably don’t have to choose a gender related option.

        Anyways, the fascists are very close to get the majority vote here so maybe not the best idea to come to Germany either :(

            So I looked it up and I have to update my statement before.

            First, one can also just have their gender entry outright deleted.

            Secondly, naming conventions are the same as for baby names:

            Generally, first names have to correspond to the new gender entry:

            1. Who chooses the male gender can use a name or names that are purely male ore both male and female.
            2. Who chooses the female gender can use a name or names that are purely female or both female and male.
            3. And who chooses the gender „diverse“or to delete their gender entry has free choice among male and female names
            4. For all genders, the chosen names have to be actual first names.

            (Source translation by me because I was too stupid to realize there’s an English version)

            Unfortunately, despite the actual progress this law certainly demonstrates, it also shows there’s still both a binary way to think about gender and certain expectations linked to gender well seated in the minds of lawmakers. Nonetheless, it’s a lot better than what we had before.

      And people eat it up. It’s sick how many people would rather focus on bringing others down than pull themselves out of despair, let alone anyone else.

    I do not recognize his authority in this matter. I will continue to exist. He might as well declare pi=3.
