Putin Signs Gender Reassignment Ban Into Law - The Moscow Times
www.themoscowtimes.com
President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a controversial law that bans legal and surgical sex changes, a move that deprives transgender Russians of the right to access gender-affirming services.  The law, which makes "medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person" and "the state registration of a change of gender without an operation" illegal, was swiftly passed by both houses of the Russian parliament earlier this month.  The law also bans individuals who have undergone gender reassignment from adopting children and annuls marriages in which one of the partners is transgender.  It enters into force immediately upon its publishing on the government website.

    If you don’t want people to see you as being against/for said things, don’t say you are

    So if a person is against something he shouldn’t express his opinion? What about freedom of speech? I basically said “good thing that children of 12 years old can’t go into the transition process, a process that can mutilate them for life for a choice they are not ready to make” I was LITERALLY called a “insecure, pro slavery, against women be able to vote, anti civil rights and pro totalitarianism”, I was surprised to not being called a “bigot” but there are a few comments that i haven’t read yet. How in the world is this behaviour ok? The people who said that to me, including the people who brainlessly upvoted them are toxic and moreover are promoting a toxic behaviour.

    Why LGBT people want to their opinion respected and then proceed to not respect other people opinion? When i posted the comment I was fully aware of the outcome and just wanted to prove a point. (BTW i was hoping for a less toxic community at least here on Lemmy, i was proved wrong sadly).

    Also it is widely agreed that trans won’t compete competitively in professional sports for women

    Yeah, they should be banned unfortunately just a few days ago a transgender man won Miss Netherlands. How come it is widely agreed and then LGBT community doesn’t speak up against this? I am genuinely asking, i’m trying to have a pacefull conversation here, but I still need to dodge insults…

      Let me play it back.

      1. Woke is to be aware / including being against slavery and for human rights.

      2. You said you were against people “pushing woke”

      3. That means you would be against people pushing awareness for womens rights and anti slavery.

      4. I was saying don’t say you are against people pushing woke if you are not under those beliefs.

      That is all. Media such as Fox news and politicians are intentionally trying to distort a term and make it hated. Then trying to put things they don’t like under that term to make people not like those things.

      It’s like me saying I am against the use of the color red, and wondering why red shirts fall under that.

        It would be nice if people would stop from distorting my words for proving their points, It doesn’t make you look good at all, but otherwise.

        First of all I never said I am anti woke, at maximum I am against LGBT forcing their opinions on other people without respecting others opinion and morality.

        Media such as Fox news and politicians are intentionally trying to distort a term and make it hated. Then trying to put things they don’t like under that term to make people not like those things.

        We agree on this point buddy, everyone should stop watching propaganda channels like Fox, BBC, CNN and others. They want us to fight between us so we are not able to focus on real problems and on the real war that needs to be fought, a class war.

        I wanted to test the waters to see if people were ready to have a peaceful and understanding conversation. You are not ready, I hope one day you will otherwise will be a loss for everyone and the billionaires in control of everything will win.
