Unfortunately, while it does get rid of some of the hurdles and medicalization of the previous laws, the draft has gotten more and more problematic and honestly frightening over the last few months.
Here’s a short rundown of the latest bullshit: https://eldritch.cafe/@amberage/110927864065655730
I’m really hoping at least some of that will be fixed in parliament, but I’m not too confident :/
They made noises about wanting to change the trans law as soon as they got elected and formed the coalition. The longer the process dragged on the less optimistic I was. And I’m now at the point where I wonder if I should change my legal gender at all. It’s not like people suddenly act like non binary people exist anyway.
Constantly reading about this kind of stuff is taking a toll on my mental health tbh. The worst thing is the lack of people fighting back, organising, etc., or at least the lack of reports on it ;-;
The constant hatred with no apparent opposition is kinda fucking me up, and just ignoring it is, for me, a major part of the problem. I don’t want to shove my head in the sand nor do I really want other people to even if in the short term it might be slightly beneficial >.<, because in the long term I think it helps these things get more traction and lowers any visible opposition.
(I live in the uk and there’s similar legislative attacks happening here)

A friend in Austria made me realize how absolutely asinine it all is.
“Imagine having to be diagnosed as gender.”
