And everyone has the right to discriminate. I would never have sex with a human who has a penis. I don’t care what label that human chooses to use. If you would, well, you’re Dutch.
And nobody has a right to choose other people’s words. There is no basic human right to choose the labels others use.
I don‘t care either if the rights of others aren‘t affected. Here the rights of women are affected, as a man received a woman’s quota seat in parliament. I also don’t want a man enter the womens toilet for example.
That trans was born with male sexual organs and the physical appearance of a man. He got no vagina and also doesn‘t want one. If he would, I (and the AfD) would acknowledge him as a woman.
The age question is really a difficult one. In the case of an adult it is a no-brainer to me (as a one time only op). But children - many feel insecure as a child and are unhappy with their body. We are so different within one gender, that some rather feel more male or female especially in those childhood days and probably even more so in puberty. I read some articles, where adults regret having chosen that path as a child and took hormons to develop the traits of the gender they seem to identify with. Here I would act like that biblical figure Pilates and let the medical and psychological expert decide.
And Nico, if you’re even thinking of noting that people with trans regret are a tiny percentage, you screwed up that argument for yourself earlier saying that trans people still matter even though they are a tiny minority.
I am fine with adults cutting off their penises if they choose. I don’t see why I need to pay for their elective and non-essential surgery.
To me the condition of people who feel to be trapped in the wrong body (for example a male identifies as a woman) fulfills the definition of medical illness in Germany. Those people suffer immensely psychologically which affects every bit of their life. If this illness can be corrected by an op, then I don‘t see any reason why the health insurance shouldn‘t pay for it.
Setting those labels aside and focus on practical things. Do you think people with male sexual organs who identify themselves as women should be allowed to go to toilets for women and if sentenced for a jail term, go into a jail for women?
I just recieved this plate with selfmade plum and apple cakes from my landlords mum. It’s past 7 pm, but I can’t wait for tomorrow. So I made me a milk coffee and will try one of each and save the other two pieces for my tomorrow 4 pm coffee break. Life is good.
