    Keep in mind politico is owned by the German equivalent to Murdoch.

    Here’s a few headlines from this month of their main rag pretending to be news:

    • Trans-criminals supposed to decide on prison
    • Transsexual climate activist doesn’t want to go to male prison
    • Anger because of climate activist: Prison union sounds trans-alarm

    And a bunch of other trash I am too tired to look at.

      Do they not want to go to male prison because they are MtF? You’re leaving out a ton of important detail here.

        If you want to know more about this, here’s a German article from a more reputable source:

        https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=46612

        TL;DR: There’s currently a new law proposed to significantly reduce the time, cost and effort to change your name and gender, replacing the unconstitutional one from the 70s. Guess who doesn’t like this and believes cis women need to be protected from dangerous trans women, therefore manufacturing scandals to influence public opinion.

      I read one article just now, but it sounds different.

      The government’s changes to Policy 713, the education policy on gender identity, now make it mandatory to get parental consent before using a child under 16’s chosen name and pronoun —even verbally — in class, according to Education Minister Bill Hogan.

      And if a child says no to involving their parents, Hogan said they should be directed to a school psychologist or social worker to come up with a plan to do so.

      This is reasonable IMO. If I’m reading this correctly, the children aren’t being forcibly outed. Also I believe conversion therapy is illegal now, so in theory, this would be healthy.

      Frankly, I would want children to have access to supportive parents OR qualified social workers.

      EDIT: It’s not different that the US if you read other articles
