Russia Is Trying To Ban Legal Transition For Trans People

Russia is trying to ban legal transition for trans people

Elena Mizulina put forward a bill, that basically bans legal transition. It includes:

Adding the “sex” graph to the birth certificate. That graph cannot be changed in any way, and you also can’t get a new passport because of that.

banning (again) same-sex marriage, but now it is made based on the birth certificate so trans people cannot marry their loved ones.

banning the right to adopt children for the trans people

and WORSE, ALL THE CHANGES MADE IN THE PAST WILL BE DECLINED. People will get their old birth certificates back. the existing marriages will be no longer legal. And I don’t even want to think what will happen to the already adopted children of transgender parents

People are scared as fuck. I see lots of panic in russian social media and also on Twitter. They made a hashtag #ProtectRussianTransLives, so you can check it out for more info. And yeah, people started protesting. 

The protest hasn’t even started properly. The police detained all of them, called them slurs, misgendered them, asked about genitals. Those pigs arrested two women - Mila Zemtsova and Polina Symonenko

Mila is a journalist who came there with a license. The police immediately arrested her for the organization (!) of the protest which is absolute nonsense. They kept her in the police department for more than 48 hours and took away her phone. She got a fine for nothing.

(translation: I want to not be afraid to show my passport)

Polina’s case is worse. She was arrested for repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public action (hope I wrote it right). Polina was also kept in the department for 48+ hours (it is illegal), misgendered and deadnamed. She was beaten in the court for taking a legal break. They gave her 14 days in a men’s prison. 

This is hell. Please spread this post. People must know about this.

If you are from Russia, you can write a letter to the government. Here’s the link for the instruction:

My family needs help after my dad's hospitalisation

My dad recently had to go to hospital for a procedure due to debilitating arthritis in his neck

His company, however, decided not to pay his sick leave

He was off work for 2 weeks leading up to the procedure, and was supposed to be off another 3 weeks following

Because of them refusing to pay him, he was forced to go back to work only 1 week after, against the hospital's instructions

His union is fighting it, but until then, he's lost almost an entire month of wages

We were already living paycheck to paycheck, and we don't know how we're going to make ends meet this month

I know times are tough for everyone, but if you could spare even a little, I would be so so grateful

Here is a link to my PayPal

Even if you can't donate, just reblogging would be much appreciated

Thank you

I’m not from the USA so forgive me my confusion...but why does a school even need cops? I live in Belgium and we had cops over like,once in my entire school career, to teach us to safely drive our bicycles in the traffic of all things.

For more perspective…

1.7 million students are in schools with police but no counselors.

6 million students are in schools with police but no school psychologists.

10 million students are in schools with police but no social workers.

hey everyone - this is a post from my twitter.

i know i rarely post anything serious on my social media but this is an issue that affects me directly and it would mean a lot if people who support my artwork could also support... well, my human rights.

here’s a link which explains most of it:

“what is happening in Poland? for the Polish government, women's rights don't exist, women cannot decide about themselves and their bodies.

Kings & Beggars - Breve regnum (15th century student son from Krakow)

Breve regnum erigitur, 

Sublimatum deprimitur 

Et depressum elabitur 

 Transmutato tempore.

Puerilem militiam,

Perargutam peritiam,

Regentium industriam,

Hanc eduxit in opere.

Cracoviensem filium,

Fulgentem velut lilium

Ac de numero milium

Cunctis praeferendum

Octo dierum spatium

Hoc sustinet solatium,

Post hoc regis palatium

Plagis feriendum.

Namque regis electio

 Fit studii neglectio

 Ac desolatur lectio 

 Tota septimana
