votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW (Commission on the Status of Women) on "women’s rights and gender equality." It's easy these days to forget that there are places and organisations outside the UK and US that don’t despise and want to destroy our lives
️⚧️@Natasha_Jay I'm glad my country is part of the EU because of things like this. Because we have a lot of voices here calling against many human rights related stuff and without the EU, some laws would probably be much worse than already are. We even still don't have equal marriage, just "partnership". And the lies and awful things our current government representatives are able to say about queer folks, it both hurts and fills me with rage.

Now waiting for EU to also crack down on social media platforms censoring LGBT voices, regardless if it's masking it as "adult content" or just forcing it out in other ways
Oh, and perhaps forcing countries to have a maximum evaluation period before giving HRT so it doesn't take literal years.
Absolutely force the backward countries (cough visegrad group, or at least CZ, SK, HU, since poland somehow is a bit better with it) to adopt better legislation for trans people, but legal status is just one thing trans people struggle with
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the EU seems to be the least shitty big player, and that at least they're not ignoring the topic completely, but I have a feeling, and I'm hoping I'm wrong, that there'll be a few platitudes said, maybe a report or two, and nothing will actually change for the better -

We see women clapping. Would I be mistaken, if I suspect that there was more women among those who voted for, and more (cis) men among those who voted against? -

a year of symbolic victories and concrete losses

@gwenthefops @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I feel like that just describes the world at least the past few years if not more

️⚧️@Natasha_Jay Is this just about women or does it also recognize trans men and non-binary people? Why would women be separated out like this?

It's not a secret that the far-right really wanted Brexit to happen. And I do count a big chunk of Tories as part of the far right (the rest of them and much of Labour being the regular kind of right wing).
A big chunk of the reason was human rights.
EU is awful in its own ways, but it's relatively less awful than much of the Western world.

Very much this

@Natasha_Jay we need to hold on tight to these bits of good news.
@kimlockhartga @Natasha_Jay Now, I just need to get y’all and my daughter to the EU.

️⚧️@Natasha_Jay Plastic tits, hormones from a bottle, and a man-made vagina do not, a woman, make. She is more than the sum of her parts.
