Despite protests from women’s rights campaigners
Trans trans über alles, über alles in der Welt.
The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world’s most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women’s rights campaigners. The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes ‘gender identity’ as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children’s documents from birth.
Hello Germany? That’s not self-determination. It’s parental determination.
Supported by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition and promoted and supported by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the SBGG also creates the potential for citizens to be fined up to €10,000 (approx. $10,800 USD) for revealing a person’s given name and birth sex without their permission.
So the lie is protected by the state, and exposing the lie is a crime. A serial rapist could change his name and “gender” and it would be a crime to reveal his name and maleness. What could possibly go wrong?
During the hearing on the SBGG, two trans-identified male politicians were present to advocate for and support the bill’s passage.
Tessa Ganserer and Nyke Slawik were elected to Germany’s Bundestag in September 2021 as representatives for the Green Party, taking positions that were reserved for female political representation.
Heads men win, tails women lose.
From birth? So the parents could take one look at little Hansel and decide, no, sorry, sex be damned, that’s Gretel.
This is progress?
It might be a mistranslation, according to other reports; there’s speculation that it actually means that parents are able to ask officials to change the sex markers on all their child’s records since birth after the child starts to go through the so-called reassignment process, at whatever age that happens. Otherwise the child would have accurate sex-markers until they become adults and can themselves ask for the records to be changed.
Thanks, tigger. That makes sense. Not good, but it makes sense.
Ohhh, of course – that must be what it means. The other really makes no sense at all, even from the rahrahtrans point of view.
