"New year, new me!" - Annual gender change OKd for German trannies

Ever wonder what it would feel like to have your gender changed? Not physically, necessarily, just legally, just for fun, to see what it would be like... you know... before undergoing the "procedures".

 

For instance, if you were a man sentenced to hard time in the crowbar Hilton, you  could become a woman and do your time in a more comfortable P4W (prison for women). Or you could flash your new ID card when challenged for lurking in the ladies' restroom.

In Germany, boys (and girls), it's possible. With the stroke of a pen -- hocus pocus mucus pucus! -- you can have your gender reassigned, legally. And you can do it once a year, if you feel like it. At least that's the proposal (according to LifeSite News) of the German Minister of Justice, Marco Buschmann, and Family Minister Lisa Paus. (They are memberes of the left-wing FDP and the far-left Green Party, respectively. Surprised?)

The new "self-determination act" proposed by the new coalition government of which the two libtards are a part, would replace a 1980 law dealing with transsexuality. Herr Buschmann and Frau/Fraulein (?) Paus called the old law, which stipulated that those wishing to legally change gender would have to produce psychological assessments to determine, among other things, how long they had wished to change genders, "degrading." 

The new law would permit people to change their gender on paper once a year. If they wake up one morning (New Year's Day?) feeling like being a new person, all they have to do is go to the local registry office and have their first name and gender amended. And get this! Anyone who “deadnames” them -- call them by their old given names -- will be fined!

The law will apply to anyone 14 or older. Any minor wishing to "transition" against his/her parents' wishes can take them to family court, which will determine the way forward based on what the cout thinks is "the well-being of the child." Given the premise that transgenderism is a Good Thing, the outcome of a court challenge is pretty much guaranteed to be politically correct. Parents who disagree with the new fashion could find themselves designated a danger to their own children, with the all-powerful state -- this is Germany, remember -- stepping in to make sure that Hans can become Hannah or vice versa.

Minister Paus called the introduction of the new legislation "a good day from freedom and diversity. Minister Buschmann emphasized that the proposed law "keeps the promise of equal freedom and equal dignity of all people." Neither of them said anything about the risk of susceptible young people choosing to transition based on a peer contagion. Or about morality or sanity.

VIDEO: 8 truths in 30 seconds - LA Rep. candidate dooms campaign?

Q. How do you know when a politician is lying? A. When his mouth is open...
It's an old joke, and all too true 99% of a time. But every now and then someone running for office has the gonads to place himself in the line of fire by getting up on his hind feet and telling the truth, simply and forcefully.

That's what Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-LA) did yesterday, when his campaign released a 3-second TV ad asserting (among other things) that there are only two genders. "As a doctor", he says, he should know! Check this out.



Telling that stone truth puts Dr Abrahams at odds with the prevailing political orthodoxy, and with Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards, who, three years ago, issued an executive order that mandated state contractors accommodate employees who identify a gender other than their biological sex. If contractors didn't comply with Gov. Edwards' diktat, vital infrastructure projects could have been delayed. LA Attorney General Jeff Landry challenged the legality of the executive order and said that the Gov. Edwards wasted valuable taxpayer dollars by fighting the order in court. The Louisiana Supreme Court agreed.

As to the other truths...
"Life begins at conception." Congressman Abraham, a member of the pro-life caucus, has fought in Congress for a government-wide ban on funding abortion and health plans that cover abortion.
"Government is too big." Louisiana government spending has increased by $7 billion under Gov. Edwards, while the state has one of the worst economies in the country. The state also has the second-highest sales tax rate in the country and the highest corporate income tax in the South. Yet Louisiana is the only state in the union to lose jobs in the under the Trump economy.
"Our car insurance is too expensive." Louisiana has the second-highest car insurance rates in the country -- 59% percent more for than rates paid by the average American.
"President Trump is doing a great job." Who could argue with that?! Mr Abraham was one of the first members of the Louisiana congressional delegation to endorse then-candidate Donald Trump. FiveThirtyEight’s "Trump score" calls Rep. Abraham one of the President's strongest supporters.
"The Second Amendment is self-explanatory." Congressman Abraham, a veteran and strong supporter of the Second Amendment, has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA). `nuff said.

Walt also endorses Congressman Abraham and wishes him good luck. And congratulations for telling 8 truths in 30 seconds!

"Gender-neutral" bathrooms a problem for Toronto University

A couple of years ago, in a fit of hyper-political correctness, the University of Toronto decided it would be progressive and appropriate (etc etc) to make its dormitory bathrooms "gender-neutral". Having boys and girls share the "facilities" would promote harmony between the sexes, end gender discrimination, and accommodate those who are transgendered, two-spirited or simply confused (etc etc).

Turns out unisex facilities can be fun too, especially for voyeurs and other perverts. According to the Varsity (the U of T student newspaper), two women were victims of voyeurism in separate incidents in mid-September -- caught on cellphone video while showering.

Inspector Knacker of the Toronto Police said two women residents of Whitney Hall, a formerly women-only residence at University College, reported that they saw a cellphone reach over the shower-stall dividers in an attempt to record them. Police have yet to find any information about the culprit, but the investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the university has decreased the number of gender-neutral bathrooms. Melinda Scott, the dean of students at University College, said some bathrooms in Whitney Hall have now been designated specifically for residents who -- pay attention to the PC wording here -- "identify as men or women, in a temporary measure...to provide a safe space for the women who have been directly impacted by the incidents of voyeurism and other students who may feel more comfortable in a single-gender washroom."

Did you catch that -- "identify as men or women"! Never mind what your driver's licence says. What do you feel like today -- a woman or a man?! And they would call it a "temporary measure", since to go back to men-only and women-only bathrooms would be to admit the whole concept of "gender neutrality" is wrong-headed.

Scott, who identified herself yesterday as a woman, says the college will be re-evaluating the designation of the bathrooms in the coming weeks. "The UC Residences continue to work in close collaboration with the Community Safety Office and Campus Police to ensure that the residences are a safe space for our students." Whether s/he went on to prattle about "gender diversity" and "an open and inclusive society" is unrecorded.

A port-a-potty for your car? Only in America!

Walt has lived and worked on four continents, in two worlds (first and third), and... let's see... a number of countries. But nowhere have I met folks more squeamish about relieving themselves outside of a "bathroom" than in the Excited States of America.

Americans, especially of the fairer sex -- is it still OK to say that? -- seem to have a terrible phobia about being "caught short" (as the Brits say) and having to resort to bushes, carparks or dark alleys. That's why you will find "rest areas" every 40 miles or so on the Interstate super-highways -- often in the middle of nowhere [meaning Nebraska. Ed.] -- complete with flush euphemisms.

But what if you can't make it to the rest area? What if you're stuck in a traffic jam? If you pull over and go behind the car door, someone might see... well, need I go on?

But never fear! Relief is at hand! [Where are we going with this? Ed.] American ingenuity wins the day! Dr. James Kolter, a gynecologist, has invented the GoPilot!

According to the website, this handy device:

• will enable a traveller to discreetly urinate within the privacy of a stationary vehicle;



• may help prevent physical discomfort and repeated stops at rest areas to use public "bathrooms";



• can be discreetly used by anyone in a motor vehicle.

Well, this is getting a bit repetitious. Let's hear the pitch from the mouth of the good doctor himself.



Isn't America wonderful?
