THE ISTANBUL'S CONVENTION AND THE HELL GATES OPENING IN BULGARIA

[Guest]

This is the document that brings chaos in Bulgaria's media and 'society'. The word 'society' is in quotes, because it reflects only a selected members and groups of privileged and oppressive people in the country, who  see themselves as the 'society'.

 

What in the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence also know as the Istanbul's Convention in Bulgaria, brings that wave of shock and hatred? 

 

First it was the conception of 'gender'. In Bulgaria, for the regular people, 'gender' and 'sex' means one thing. For the scientist and intelligent people it's not one and the same. So the here is the definition that started the war between Bulgarians Christians and Nazis against the Human rights advocates and transgender and intersex people:
 

Quote

 

“gender” shall mean the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for women and men;'

 

 

So the from here, evangelistic-oriented and sponsored, pseudo-democratic organizations like 'Society and Values' started to talk about how the Convention will force the country to add 'third gender' to their Constitution, how trans women 'who are men' will compete with women and use their facilities (painfully, well known in USA and other countries, haters-strategy, yeah!) and that it will allow a 'same sex marriages' to be legalized. The doors of misery and stupidity, diverse the attention from the major goal of the Convention - to limited the violence in Bulgaria.

 

Bulgaria is country with a lot of psychopathic traditions related to sexism, patriarchate and chauvinism. The hate and discrimination against LGBTI+, women and emigrants, in the country are totally above 'normal'. The motives for hate are like taken from the Medieval. If we start to talk about the domestic violence, against vulnerable people and minorities, based on different categories, I must write a whole book in here.

 

So at this moment, at this point, the Convention can't have ratification (it's signed), because illiterates and haters are throwing their poison on the citizens, making them to believe that the Convention will force the people to have 'third gender' or even 'worst' - to accept transgender and intersex 'freaks'. 

 

This is our reality, which is more like hell! The stupidity, hatred and complexes are spreading around dressed like 'Christian and family values'... We still can't predict the end.

Thank you for sharing about the issues facing you in Bulgaria.  I fear ignorance and fear of anything different has long been a tool used by politicians and "religious" factions to unite less educated individuals.  We face that to some extent here in the USA as well.  It is especially obvious with the present administration.  Hopefully enlightenment will continue and acceptance will win out.

I have a friend in Serbia who has expressed concerns about much the same rising issues there. Nationalism, xenophobia, misogyny, hatred of LGBT+ people, and Russian encouragement of seeing any progressive change as a threat to local culture and identity are all part and parcel of the same problem. Nothing like fomenting fear of a tiny minority to prevent ratification of a measure to strengthen prevention of violence by about one half of the population on the other half.

Actually Russia, is hoping to make an Empire, and to 'unite'/takeover all of the accepted as a Slavic nations, under her ruling. That's why she is constantly messing in their inside politics via political parties or NGO's. Now the situation is even worst! The transgender community is threatened more than ever. We even have a minister who wants to be forbidden the option to be corrected the trans peson's private data in the official registers, related to our citizenship status.

I am sorry you and your brothers and sisters are faced with this increased difficulty.  Please be careful.  It can be difficult here in the US as well especially in some areas but i would think what is happening there could become much worse.
