>Belarus double the percentage of Russia
Belarus has gone woke
@kaia tbh given the massive amount of transphobia I have encountered in Germany and the politics that are going on in the UK, this map looks horribly bleak.
@bartholin @kaia
so this is Putin's Russia..
@Ree @bartholin @kaia
many such cases
@kaia as someone who is regularly in both places, this isn't a surprise at all
@kaia Interesting! German Constitution says:
(1) All persons are equal before the law.
(2) Men and women have equal rights. The State shall promote the effective realization of equality between women and men and work to eliminate existing disadvantages.
(3) No one shall be disadvantaged or favored on account of their sex, ancestry, race, language, homeland or origin, faith, or religious or political views. No one shall be disadvantaged on account of a disability.
So what's up with the 57%?
@kaia
I find Spain interesting, as latin countries (such as France and Italy) are often assumed as being "macho" and less open, whereas its neighbour Portugal is in stark contrast.
@sally @bartholin @kaia
looked it up for Portugal and in terms of religion it's 81% catholic so that's to consider.
Also the study design is completely stupid there are probably a fair amount of people who say no to the first question but yes to the second one, or at least advocate for the state not making it hard for them on purpose.
You know, the kind of tipping point demographic you lose out on if you make TWAW a state-sanctioned ideology with more legal weight than freedom of speech or religious freedoms
@kaia I keep saying for years that the Netherlands is a much better country to be trans than Germany but people often don’t believe me.
@sally @bartholin @kaia
what's kinda interesting is that the country with highest popular support (Sweden) is one with legal gatekeeping (No Self-ID) and high medical safeguards ("medical gatekeeping").
Meanwhile Portugal has Self-ID laws and no medical safeguarding ( https://genspect.org/portugal-what-to-expect-from-the-political-environment-regarding-gender-medicine/ ).
In Italy the laws are more like Sweden than in Portugal. Perhaps there is a point of "too much" for the public that results in people viewing Trans NGOs and activist circles as astroturfed

@sally @bartholin @kaia
As far as I know the catechism of the catholic church is still gender recognition based on the biological sex observed at birth. It's true that the current pope and Francis toned down the more extreme rhetoric of their more conservative predecessors, but tradcath larpers and evangelical reactionaries overestimate this a lot, they are not in violation of da rules.
t. former catholic I could be wrong
@sally @bartholin @kaia
Sede Vacante is quite popular with edgy Zoomers these days
@kaia that assumes legislation reflects the opinion of the broader population, as someone else already mentioned no source means we neither know when this was taken nor if its more than made up
