A win for trans rights!!!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

The Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (self-identify law) allows trans and intersex people to change their name and gender in the civil registry much more easily than before by submitting a self-disclosure form. This will be possible starting on the 1. November 2024 while the self-disclosure forms can be submitted as early as 1. August 2024 because of the 3 month waiting period in the law. After a name and gender change the person will be barred from changing it again for one year. People of ages 14-17 will need the approval of a legal guardian to change their gender and name while for children under 14 the legal guardians can submit a form for the change.

I am so glad about the self id law and that it doesn't contain a part about collecting a list of all trans people and sending it to government agencies anymore. So that i can now change my name and gender marker through that.

On Tuesday i called and cancelled all my appointments for the psychological evaluations i would have needed for the old law.

One of them i talked to personally because he doesn't have a secretary, and he was really nice once again and told me he expected me to call about that, and wished me well and made sure that i knew that you can announce the change already in august.

And it made me so so glad that i don't have to do the psych evals and court date anymore, because i starkly remembered the way i cried after the first appointment from him, because the whole thing is so dehumanising, and that was with a really nice and from what i can tell really not transphobic evaluator, who didn't act like a gatekeeper (altho of course he did keep the gate and we both knew it). like that is optimal conditions and it still fucked me up. I would have needed to take a bunch of extra therapy just over that bullshit.

I'm so glad i finally have that right (the basic human right to change my name and gender marker). I deserve that right and i intend to exercise it, and then i will throw a party about it. And fight like hell to make sure everyone else has that right too and no one gets it revoked again.

[i-like-the-eyes]

you made a post going over how the trans self ID law in Germany could be bad for trans people and I’m trans and planning to move to Germany and my friends live in Germany

could you explain in a little more detail the points you went over please? Or link someone explaining it? I can’t find anything on it that isn’t in German and I can’t read German yet

I guess you mean this post?

Think I mentioned a few things why it might be dangerous there already. Not for all trans people but there is potential.

Ngl, it's a lot better than the old TSG in some things but some points aren't.

I'll check if I can maybe find a german article that explains everything better. Maybe I could translate for you.

Sorry I didn't really given a good answer but I've pretty much just gotten up. I'll get back to this topic later, promise! But I've got to check back with my sources first and write something more detailed and all then.

Might take some time.

Feel free to send a private message btw.

If there is a point that you are especially concerned about - talking directly might be nicer. But if you don't want to: ask box is fine, of course!

The truly sad thing is that TRAs are not going to take a moment for self reflection and look at the perverts that have overun the TQ+ movement. Instead they are going to lash out at "TERFs".

Judges have ruled that the UK government acted lawfully in blocking Scotland's gender self-ID reforms.

Legislation making it easier for people to change their legally-recognised sex was passed by the Scottish Parliament last year.

The UK government blocked it from becoming law over fears it would impact on equality laws across Great Britain.

The Court of Session in Edinburgh has now rejected a Scottish government legal challenge to the veto.

The Scottish government has 21 days to decide whether it wants to appeal against the ruling, and the case could ultimately end up in the Supreme Court in London.

The legislation received cross-party support in Holyrood, passing by 86 votes to 39 after a highly-charged debate.

Campaigners against the reforms warned the legislation could risk the safety of women and girls in same-sex spaces such as hospital wards and refuges.

Supporters argued it would make the process of obtaining a gender recognition certificate (GRC) easier and less traumatic for trans people.

The legislation would remove the need for trans people to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria by a doctor before they are allowed to change their legally-recognised sex in Scotland, and would lower the age that someone can apply for a GRC from 18 to 16.

The period in which applicants would need to have lived in their acquired gender would be cut from two years to three months.

The UK government stepped in to block the bill from receiving royal assent after it was passed by MSPs, using powers contained in section 35 of the Scotland Act for the first time.

Scottish Secretary Alister Jack raised concerns that the reforms could adversely impact on the 2010 Equality Act, which applies in Scotland, England and Wales and sets out protections for groups including women and transgender people.

The Scottish government challenged the move at the Court of Session - Scotland's highest civil court - with its top law officer, Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain, arguing that Mr Jack did not have "reasonable grounds" to block the bill.

Ms Bain also claimed that if the UK government was successful, Westminster "could veto practically any act of the Scottish Parliament having an impact on reserved matters because he disagreed with it on policy grounds".

But in her written ruling, judge Lady Haldane dismissed the Scottish government's appeal and said the block on the legislation was lawful.

She said Mr Jack followed correct legal procedures when he made his decision to invoke section 35 and that the Scottish government had failed to show that he had made legal errors.

The judge wrote: "I cannot conclude that he (Mr Jack) failed in his duty to take such steps as were reasonable in all the circumstances to acquaint himself with material sufficient to permit him to reach the decision that he did."

Lady Haldane also said that "Section 35 does not, in and of itself, impact on the separation of powers or other fundamental constitutional principle. Rather it is itself part of the constitutional framework."

Welcoming the judgement, Mr Jack said it "upholds my decision to prevent the Scottish government's gender recognition legislation from becoming law".

He added: "I was clear that this legislation would have had adverse effects on the operation of the law as it applies to reserved matters, including on important Great Britain-wide equality protections.

"Following this latest court defeat for the Scottish government, their ministers need to stop wasting taxpayers' money pursuing needless legal action and focus on the real issues which matter to people in Scotland - such as growing the economy and cutting waiting lists."

Alister Jack blocked the legislation because of its potential impact on equalities law that applies across Scotland, England and Wales

Humza Yousaf decided to proceed with the legal challenge shortly after succeeding Nicola Sturgeon - a passionate supporter of trans rights - as first minister earlier this year.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he described the ruling as a "dark day for devolution".

Mr Yousaf said: "Today's judgment confirms beyond doubt that devolution is fundamentally flawed. The court has confirmed that legislation passed by a majority in Holyrood can be struck down by Westminster.

"The only way to guarantee we get true self-government is through independence. Sovereignty should lie with the people of Scotland, not a Westminster government we didn't vote for with the ability to overrule our laws."

He was the only one of the three candidates in the SNP leadership contest who backed taking legal action and the issue has been deeply divisive within the party.

Colin Macfarlane, director of nations at LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, said the ruling would "mean more uncertainty for trans people in Scotland who will be waiting once again to see whether they will be able to have their gender legally recognised through a process that is in line with leading nations like Ireland, Canada and New Zealand."

Labour's shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray said it was "disappointing this legalisation ended in the courts but this ruling should be respected".

Shortly after the reforms were passed, double rapist Isla Bryson - who changed gender after being arrested for attacking two women - was remanded to a women's jail.

Bryson was subsequently moved to a male prison after the case sparked widespread anger. The Scottish government said the new legislation had no impact on the decision about where Bryson was held.

As befitting an unprecedented case, this is in Lady Haldane's words a "novel and complex" ruling.

She actually concluded in part that this is a situation where many decisions could have been taken, and that "there is possibly no single right answer" - but that the courts should only intervene in the case of a clear error in law.

The judge concluded that Alister Jack was entitled to make a decision on this, and that he had taken the proper steps to come to a view, without going into the even knottier territory of whether it was the right one.

All of that complexity means there could be room for appeal.

The Scottish government will be combing through the ruling to see if there are grounds to go back to court.

Mr Jack has urged them not to, telling them not to waste public funds on further legal action.

But ministers will perhaps put more weight on the position of the Scottish Greens, their partners in government, who are absolutely furious about the "horrible, heartbreaking and unjust" outcome.

Challenging UK ministers on this has been a red line for the Greens in the past. It may be that Scottish ministers have little choice but to fight on if they are to keep their partnership government together.

the fact that some people in this shithole country genuinely believe that deporting refugees to rwanda is more justified than letting trans people choose their gender perfectly sums up how disgusting politics here is

#venting #tw transphobia #we should deport the tories to rwanda and pass trans self id laws already #actually that's not fair on rwandans- sink their boats like those fuckers want to do to refugees #it's just fucking monstrous to send refugees off to a third world country basically to die bc you're too racist to just let them live here

[alpaca-clouds]

Just let me self-id, god damn it

I am so annoyed with Germany right now. We got promised by our current government, that we were gonna get the self-id law last autumn. We now have spring and... we finally know what is in the bill. And I kinda hate it.

Sure, we got self-id in this, but:

When you go to change your name/gender, you gotta wait 3 months till the change is made. "Time to consider", they say. As if trans folks wake up one day and go like "Oh, yes, I think I am now gonna change my id and birth certificate and everything."

We Germans love our saunas, of course. So TERFs made this big thing out of "Well, what if a trans woman with a dick goes into a women's sauna?" and just the usual: "But what if a guy just goes into a women's sauna." So there is an extra clause about whoever owns a sauna or swimming pool getting the last word on who to allow access and who not. Something that obviously also will affect cis women.

There are no rules in there about health insurance having to cover transition costs. So, it still remains for the health insurance to decide whether they are gonna cover surgery or not.

And I hate it. I just hate it. Just give us a proper self-id law. Like, I have been living as myself, as a dude for years now. I do not need time to consider that shit. I know who I am. And all I want is the stupid top surgery.

I mean, I am a trans guy myself, so I have no reason to go to a women's sauna. And while there is a men's sauna close by, it is pretty small. But they let me in either way, because the owner's son is a trans dude himself, so the owner totally gets it. Never had an issue about it there. (Like, the three times I went. Again, it is fairly small.)

But just... This stupid bill makes the mistake to try and find a compromise between terfs and trans people. As if Germany should not long have learned to not listen to fucking Nazis.

Important!

If you know someone from germany - get them to sign this petition!

Some of you might have heard that the government has been working on a Self ID law.

Sounds like a good thing, right? Well..they are fucking up big time because instead of listening to people who would profit from it they were listening to the transphobic bullshit, lies and fearmongering of people who will not have a thing to do with it in any shape or form.

What's so problematic about this new law you might ask.

Let me give you a few short answers. I can go more into detail later if you want me to:

1 - You will have to announce that you want to change your name/gender entry 3 months before you make the application for it. And after that there will be 3 more months until changes come into effect. So half a year wait. For an entry that you could - theoretically speaking - change once a year. Makes no sense tbh. People don't change these things out of fun. There's tons of strings attached to it. You don't do this if you don't really want it.

2 - Another point: There is a paragraph that can be misinterpreted to a disadvantage for trans peopl. Especially for trans women for example when it comes to getting into anything that is "for women". That paragraph is unnecessary and could lead to some really messed up situations.

3 - You're a trans women and got your entry changed (less than) 2 month ago and now there is war? Too bad - your woman status gets revoked. I'm not the only one who sees how problematic this is, right?

4 - There is a lot more shit wrong but I just want to mention one more thing: Your data (old name/entry + new ones, plus some more things) will get transferred to several institutions - if you like it or not.

And a bunch of those institutions are NOT SAFE for queer people thanks to the - still existing - nazi problem in those. Giving nazis a list of data about queer people feels a lot like the "Rosa Liste" back during darker times if you're asking me.

How is anyone supposed to get their official documents changed when you have to fear for what might happen after it?

We NEED a proper self ID law. Not some bullshit that puts queer people under general suspicion!

That didn't even happen with the old, shitty TSG! And let me tell you - the TSG is/was horrible af and there are quite some paragraphes that had to get invalidated per court verdict!

#self id law germany #selbstbestimmungsgesetz #petition #please share! #my queer siblings - we're in this fight together! #self id #august 2023 #wish I could explain better but i guess my english skills are not good enough for that #but i hope you get where I'm coming from

the only reason hydron didnt live is bc if he was part of the brawler's interdimensional found family, that'd involve him getting a character arc on account of actually having a support system and also the fact that zenoheld is dead and they didn't wanna write that so they just killed off hydron. this lives in my brain though.

#he would be part of the found family the brawlers just let anyone in #they were gonna let mylene and shadow join despite the fact that they literally had just tried to kill mira #spectra and gus are part of the brawlers and dan literally calls both of them family #do you think they're not going to look at hydron. with his huge amount of issues. and NOT let him be part of their found family???? #i think if hydron lived. i think gus and him would end up like brothers but like acting like actual siblings #keith and mira are too nice to each other #i need gus and hydron to insult each other. then go into an autism echolalia feedback loop. then try to go gaslight someone. #thats based on irl experience with my own younger sibling #we are menaces and gus and hydron would also be menaces to society too #other than that uhhh honestly i think itd be funny if he was friends with julie. i think all subterra brawlers should be friends w julie #by law julie is friends with every subterra brawler. ur a subterra brawler and u think u arent gonna end up friends with her? ur wrong #i kinda wanna see him interact with fabia in some way but idk how. it could be interesting tho. #not hydron related but id love to see ren and gus interact before the events of gundalian invaders. #i think gus would be sus abt him but like not actually care too much bc that's the human's problem not his #i think they could have an interesting conversation about loyalty and shit idk #i dont know toooooo much abt ren my memory is spotty but i just think it would be neat #anyways i was having an autism moment im not sorry this is just self indulgent

The victim has a kid for the next 18 years and "While the prosecution sought 12 years incarceration for the crime, Hilario received only 4 years in prison — the minimum possible sentence for the crime of child sexual abuse."

By Nuria Muíña García. October 24, 2023

A man serving a 4-year sentence for the repeat sexual abuse of an underage girl has been transferred to a mixed-sex penitentiary to serve his time with women. The predator, known only as “Hilario,” has also been formally re-classified as a “female” convict.

According to El Norte de Castilla, Hilario first requested a change of registered sex just a few weeks ago. After receiving a rapid approval, he informed the governing body for Spain’s correctional system that he wanted to be transferred to a women’s prison in accordance with Spain’s recently-adopted gender self-identification legislation. Law 4/2023 for the real and effective equality of trans people and for the guarantee of the rights of LGTBI people, colloquially referred to as “the Trans Law” came into effect in February despite widespread protests.

Hilario has now been transferred from the Segovia Penitentiary Centre in Torredondo, to the Madrid VII macro-prison, a mixed-sex prison built in 2008. It is believed he is being housed in the women’s wing of the facility.

The 48-year-old man was first sentenced in December of 2022 after being found guilty of the repeat sexual abuse of a teenage girl. The victim was the daughter of a female friend, whom Hilario frequently visited the home of and had briefly moved in with.

According to court records, Hilario developed a “sentimental relationship” with the girl, and sexually abused her on two occasions. As a result, the girl became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

The Social Services Department of the Junta de Castilla y León quickly became involved, and determined the girl had been living in a situation of neglect. Information provided to the court revealed that the minor and the adult man had been living together with the acquiescence of her mother. Men’s clothes were found in the house, as well as cigarette butts in ashtrays on the girl’s bedside tables. Social Services also discovered that the man had been taking the girl to childbirth preparation classes.

Despite being close to the girl’s mother, Hilario reportedly denied knowing the girl was underage, an assertion that was rejected by the court, which affirmed that there was “no doubt” that Hilario knew the girl was under the age of 16.

After the first effort failed, Hiario’s defense then successfully argued that Hilario did not know the age of consent because he “grew up in a marginalized environment” where minor-adult sexual relations were common.

While the prosecution sought 12 years incarceration for the crime, Hilario received only 4 years in prison — the minimum possible sentence for the crime of child sexual abuse.

In handing down the sentence, the court accepted that “when he committed the offense, he did not know that what he was doing constituted a criminal offense.” Hilario was also ordered to pay compensation of 3,000 Euros (approx. $3,100 USD) to the victim, but was not ordered to complete any sex offender treatment programs.

While Hilario never previously identified as transgender or expressed any concerns about his gender prior to his sentencing, he was rapidly approved to request a gender marker change following his incarceration.

His transfer to a low-security, mixed-sex penitentiary comes with a host of benefits, including that he will be entitled to take “days off” out of prison via leave permits.

According to the latest data available regarding the transgender prison population in Spain outside of Catalonia and the Basque Country, there are currently 83 inmates incarcerated who claim a transgender identity. Of them, 47 are male and 36 are female.

Of the 47 trans-identified male inmates, 23 are serving sentences in men’s facilities, 22 in women’s facilities, and 2 in mixed facilities. Of the 36 trans-identified females, 25 are serving sentences in women’s facilities, 8 in men’s facilities and 3 in mixed facilities.
