But not the first men to do so
Two German politicians from the Greens have made history by becoming the first transgender women to win parliamentary seats in Sunday’s national election.
Two men have won parliamentary seats in Sunday’s national election.
That’s not making history. The fact that they call themselves trans women doesn’t make it history.
“It is a historic victory for the Greens, but also for the trans-emancipatory movement and for the entire queer community,” Ganserer, 44, told Reuters, adding that the results were a symbol of an open and tolerant society.
What do trans people need emancipation from?
Topping the priority list for Ganserer, who was elected to Bavaria’s regional parliament in 2013, is an easier procedure for ratifying a change of gender on identity documents.
Which would mean more men intruding on women, whether they’re invited to or not.
How exactly does this help avert climate disaster again?
Doesn’t benefit lesbians at all, and doesn’t benefit gay men or bisexual men and women either. So, no, it’s a defeat, not a “victory,” for most of “the queer community.”
Well, since the Greens have a policy of 50% seats going to women, they are making history in being the firstmen to cheat their way into parliament this way.
The Norwegian Green Party recently lost their one representative in parliament. One of the votes they lost since the last election was mine. Just a couple of days ago they sent out a member survey about what went wrong during the last election campaign. I thought this might be an opportunity to tell them exactly what I think about their stance on the gender ID issue, but the very first question.was about “gender” and once again offered no options that didn’t presuppose acceptance of gender ideology. Well to hell with it then…
