Russian court bans something that doesn't exist! Hopefully it's not a precedent.

This isn't trans specific because it applies the to the whole LGBTQ umbrella, but because of that it is still relevant. A Russian court, no doubt under the direction of Putin, has apparently banned the 'International LGBT Movement', which has now been designated as an extremist organization! There's no such organization of course, but let's not apply common sense, okay?

 

A Russian court banned the 'international LGBT movement' — problem is, it doesn't exist - ABC News

 

My take on this, knowing that Trump adores Putin and would probably ------- given half the chance, might emulate him. Scary.

There seem to be a lot of MAGA types that like Putin. 

After all, he's STRONG !

Well, that sounds a little gay. Wouldn't Trump be banned for that?

It is always easy for politicians to beat up on an enemy that doesn't really exist. The international lgbtq movement exists in about the same measure as some massive right-wing conspiracy. Or in about the same way that representative government exists. Nothing but pixie dust and unicorns.

 

Putin does seem to be popular here. Mostly because we aren't represented by those who claim to be our national leaders. And there's a lot of resentment about sending billions of taxpayer dollars to support a foreign war that isn't our problem.

We certainly have arrived if we are now considered an international threat. Who would have thought we would rise to such acclaim. For those of us who are have transitioned to female, we are officially X-Men, and I guess the politicians are conflating us with the Mutants of Marvel fame. What next?? Special prisons for us so we cannot use our super powers? Maybe we are from an alien race and we do not know it. If so, maybe the folks from our home world will show up. 

 

What did we ever do to generate so much disdain in this world?

      No more talk

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Davie · Posted

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Finally Starting HRT

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
