So happy that you gals are organizing!

The British feminists fought and won - let's all take inspiration and GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT for our rights!

Honestly ... I'm certain this will go through, and I feel defeated.

They try to sneak this through without anyone noticing, and I don't think that a couple of "Terfs" writing to a couple of representatives will make a difference.

What lawmakers don't realize is that when they pulls stunts like this - passing bills in the dark that the general population will not like once they are aware - at first the backlash will go underground because of things like the slur "transphobic" - but then it will be unleashed in the voting booth, and the Far Right gets elected.

Look at the US - someone on here said that Obama admitted that his stance on trans "rights" might have helped get The Donald elected.

I have said for years that the Democrats fixation on identity politics will be the hill the US will die on, and I might be right. Many Americans vote out of irritation rather than for their own good, and this trans issue and the riots are causing a lot of former liberals and independents to either sit it out, or vote to destroy our very country by voting Republican.

So my condolences to you and to the women of Germany - it's just so enraging that politicians can't or won't see (or, more likely, don't care) that shoving Far Left extremism down people's throats often if not almost always results in a country in chaos.

If someone wanted to keep the 99% at each other's throats so that we don't pay attention to how the 0.1% is taking everything, well, they've found a way with trans "rights" amongst other deliberately divisive issues.

I agree. And even if you try to say something, the current state of disinformation will see to it, that you're laughed out of the door.

Go over and inform yourself on feministwiki ... contact your local representative and tell them how you feel about this.

The "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" is going to the Bundestag for debate on the second of November. It will allow people to self-ID withour ANY therapy, medication or any time delay.

No time to waste anymore.

W O W.

This would cause... Idk what, but it would cause something. Like if this passed, the first time a man would use this insane "law" and stroll into a female only changing room the public outcry and press coverage would be enormous, the right and far right would gain votes like crazy. Imagine a grown ass man with dick and balls changing casually next to a group of 10yo girls after their volleyball practise? With his phone out, probably, for a selfie?

I'm moving to Russia, at least you know what to expect there.

Random thought: One of their "arguments" is that transidentity is no medical condition and doesn't require a diagnosis. So, according to that logic, insurance companies shouldn't have to pay for transition surgeries then?! Or are they gladly taking that money, lol. I feel like vomiting.
