last week, anti-trans laws were passed in Portugal.

parliament revoked the 2018 law that gave us self-determination of legal gender and change of name.

in addition they also passed UK-style censorship laws banning schools from talking about gender, and UK-style laws banning the prescription of puberty blockers and hormones to trans children.

this is the first time Portugal has taken away human rights since it became a democracy in the 1970s.

@typeswitch for fucks sake, it really seems like this worldwide political enshittification doesn't spare any country. The US, the UK, recently also India.

I really hope Germany doesn't get a anti trans law anytime soon. If it would come I would want to commit suicide. Unfortunately I have access to neither guns, pentobarbital (drug used to euthanize pets), spots to hang myself or any other method that is effective and doesn't require fighting my stupid meat prison's survival instinct head-on. I don't want to be forced to suffer.
@LunaDragofelis @typeswitch  I believe things will get better. I know its not my place to say that but we can pull through.

@LunaDragofelis
Really, you should not. Whatever happens, whatever law gets or does not get passed, you in the worst case, can still get out of the country, protest, take a lawsuit to European (human rights) court etc.

Also, if you feel really feel like doing that seriously, I can only strongly urge you to seek help. Try https://www.telefonseelsorge.de/ for example. We lost good fedi people already and it's *never* good in this case.

You are a valid! No matter what politics say! ❤️
