Viele wollen die #USA verlassen – es herrscht eine große Angst" - #Trans* Personen unter Präsident Trump https://www.sr.de/sr/srkultur/home/aktuelles/trump_non_binaere_trans_regelungen_usa_rassismus_100.html #LSBTIQ #AntiLGBTIQ #Queerfeindlichkeit
"Viele wollen die USA verlassen – es herrscht eine große Angst"

Zu Trumps Kulturkampf gehört auch das Thema „Diversität“. Gerade wurde ein Dekret erlassen, wonach es in den USA künftig nur noch „männlich“ und „weiblich“ als Geschlechtsangaben geben soll. Trans-Personen scheinen nicht erwünscht und müssen sich offenbar auf raue Zeiten einstellen. Dazu im SR kultur-Interview Julia Monro vom Verband Queere Vielfalt.

"Totales Chaos" intern bei Meta, Angestellte erzürnt wegen Anti-LGBTIQ-Änderungen

Zuckerbergs Ankündigung vor wenigen Tagen, man würde die Moderationsrichtlinien im Unternehmen ändern, sorgt bei Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern für Unsicherheit

DER STANDARD

Here are some of the horrible things that you can now say on #Instagram and #Facebook / Meta’s policy changes allow calling gay and trans people ‘mentally ill’ while removing a ban on referring to women as ‘household objects.’

“Even before these changes, the #LGBTQ+ media advocacy group #GLAAD reported last year that Meta often failed to remove posts violating its hate speech policies. Now, even those guardrails that had been established to protect people from internet #harassment are disappearing.

“Without these necessary hate speech and other policies, Meta is giving the green light for people to target LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups with violence, vitriol, and dehumanizing narratives. With these changes, Meta is continuing to normalize anti-LGBTQ #hatred for profit — at the expense of its users and true freedom of expression. Fact-checking and hate speech policies protect free speech.” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement responding to the changes.”

Meta’s policy changes around hate speech have sharply changed the content that’s banned or allowed when it’s based on gender, sexual orientation, and the coronavirus.

I lost half of my friends in #Germany. They moved completely to the #rightextremist side. #AntiTrans #AntiLGBTIQ #AntiGay and calling #Soros the biggest threat and wishing each #white #German should marry a white German.

I studied with them. I did multiple BBQs with them. We had fun together. And now they say I would have a mental health issue and perhaps a therapy could make me "love a woman".

They repeat Russian propaganda. No common ground anymore.

It hurts. Much. How is this possible?

Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh should be applauded for her allyship, and stance of using the legislative process to its full potential to block hateful #AntiLGBTIQ legislation in her state.

Nebraska lawmaker 3 weeks into filibuster over trans bill

Nebraska state Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh is three weeks into a pledge to filibuster every bill that comes before the Legislature — even the ones she supports. The Omaha lawmaker is pontificating on the Senate floor about everything from her favorite Girl Scout cookies to the plot of the animated movie “Madagascar” in protest against conservatives' advancement of a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming therapy for those 18 and younger. Cavanaugh declared she would “burn the session to the ground” in an effort to stymie the bill. And so far, she has, slowing the Legislature's business to a crawl. Wednesday marks the halfway point of this year’s 90-day session, and not a single bill will have passed thanks to the filibuster.
