LGBT in schools vs religious parents

In an attempt to get back OT
A disgusting leaflet that was being given out at an event last year with lots of parents and children. Children even handing these out. The group had a load of people and merchandise even :(

TW - sick leaflet of lies
<dnipattachment>
the CSE perpetrators of the organised churches and right wing political parties need to keep young people ignorant of consent and boundaries , this is why LGBTQ+ people and alternative lifestyle people scare the religious / right wing so much, because of the emphasis on consent and on dismantling patriachial structures which enable CSE and misogynistic Sexual violence

You are giving the trolls, usual suspects and "GC" gallery a reason to discount your points and paint you as a loon with these posts you know :(
it is a factual statment that the so called 'gender critical' movement are obsessed with the genitals and orgasmic capacity of minors...
 
so it's obsessive to call out genocidal bigots is it ?

becasue the rise of transphobia is ticking many of the boxes of the internationally agreed defintions of genocide


Wow!!! I'm confused...

Is this your internationally agreed definition of genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

So, who is killing who????

Totally odd!!!
 
the uk has not quite reached the stage of the US (yet) but the US has mainstream politicians who have (for a couple of examples)

called for the 'erasing of the LGBT+ community' (here)

said they would prefer their child to die by suicide than transition (here)

i think 'genocide' is possibly stretching a bit, but...


Alberta just passed legistation that bans prescribing puberty blockers for anyone under 18. Changing name and pronouns is only for children whose parents agree. People warned her that would probably result in suicides, but she says that children don't know what is good for them. I'm from Ontario, but my adult children totally agree with the Alberta position.

So, I guess that could be considered genocide of trans youth, but that would be stretching the definition to the max.

thanks for confirming you do not understand the definition of genocide that the UN use

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
  1. Killing members of the group;
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

i refer you to the UN defintion given above
 
Things are bad for trans people - and pretty scary for the rest of us in the LGBT-etc grouping given the increasing ramping up of right wing rhetoric including in this country. I will never forgive the role that gender critical people have played in that, the fuel they have put on the fire that threatens all of our rights.

But in the week where I have seen the most appalling pictures of shredded children on social media in Gaza, to refer to it as a genocide is frankly disgusting and diminishes the value of the word.

I see where you're coming from and have some sympathy with that view especially in the light of the events in Gaza. But if a right wing government decided to embark on eliminating say Islam from society, by banning Mosques and Islamic dress, permitting, encouraging and legalising discrimination against Muslims in the workplace or in provision of goods and services, banning discussions of Islam in school and public institutions, etc then that could fall under the definition of genocide even if much more violent genocides were being committed elsewhere. And more importantly that's how more violent genocides often start - the mass murder comes when people refuse to sit back and be eliminated.

Also genocide refers to ethnic, religious and national groups and it's probably important to keep that distinction. I'm not sure there is a word yet to describe the elimination of a group based on gender identity or sexuality. But there are certainly those on the US conservative right who are seeking to eliminate LGBTQ people from society, and there are absolutely gender criticals here in the UK who are seeking to eliminate 'transgenderism' from society - and even those who are too squeamish to admit that are frequently heading in a direction where that would be the end result of what they are campaigning for.

That may not be technically genocidal, but it's akin to genocide I think, and certainly in some parts of the US may lead to more violent tactics as the rhetoric escalates and the initial attempts at elimination fail.

so it's not possible to care about two ( or more) things ?

please read the UN definition given above

this plays in the the whole ' being islamophobic isn't racist becasue muslims are not a race ' kind of rhetoric used by the far right to justify or excuse their actions ( when it tips over to attacks on anyone deemed to 'look like a muslim' regardless of their actual faith ( or absence of)

exactly how many bodies will take before people acknowledge what is happening ?

again people love to focus "it's not genocide because they aren;t rounding uyou up and killing you ... " the rounding people up and putting them in camps to be killed is pretty much the last stage not the first ... the first couple of stages are exactly what we are seeing now and what the cisgender LGB community saw in the 1980s with HIV/AIDS
