Verbot von geschlechtergerechter Sprache im BMBFSFJ – Gleichstellung der Geschlechter missachtet

Bildungsministerin Karin Prien hat ein Genderverbot in ihrem Ministerium verhängt. Den Angestellten ist es künftig untersagt, das Gendersternchen oder andere Sonderzeichen für geschlechtergerechte Sprache zu nutzen. Sie ist damit nicht die Einzige in der Union, die sich dagegen ausspricht.

Dorothee Bär äußerte sich vor kurzem als Forschungsministerin zum Thema Geschlechtergerechte Sprache und gab einem ominösen „Genderzwang“ eine Absage. Dies sei mit ihr nicht zu machen.

The German Chess Federation has rejected any ban, stressing that “chess is diverse and inclusive.” Federation president Ingrid Lauterbach condemned the discriminatory backlash against Nora Heidemann, 17, saying, “We’re an inclusive sport and want to be so.”

As U.S. President Donald Trump's administration continues to table anti-LGBTQ+ legislation at an alarming rate, some queer and trans Americans are trying to flee to Canada. @ChatelaineMag spoke with Maureen Silcoff, an immigration and refugee lawyer, about what she's hearing, why claiming asylum might not be the best option for Americans, and other pathways to relocation.

'On Friday, June 27, we achieved a historic win. The Court of King's Bench of Alberta granted our request, alongside our co-applicants, Skipping Stone and five individual gender diverse youth, for an injunction to block the Alberta government's ban on gender-affirming care for trans and gender diverse young people from coming into effect.

On the basis of expert evidence, the Court concluded that Bill 26 would cause irreparable harm to gender diverse young people in Alberta. The ruling affirms that trans and gender diverse youth and young people deserve safety and access to the health care they need to thrive.

As we have long argued, the government should never interfere in the medical decisions of doctors and patients or prevent parents and youth from deciding what medical care is right for them. Everyone deserves the ability to access health care and participate fully in their communities. We are grateful that the Court has acted to protect access to critical medical care.

But this victory is only a temporary safeguard. Friday's ruling means that this harmful law will be paused while we proceed with our full constitutional challenge. And we know more is coming: Alberta's two additional anti-trans bills are coming into effect this fall.'

@grayface_ghost He’s one nasty, unfeeling, unconscionable b*****d. No conscience. No soul. No consideration for anyone. I hope the up and coming legal cases against these hateful repressive laws he’s so keen on win every single time. The current case for #PalestineAction, the one for #TransRights, the one for #Kneecap, and there’s bound to be one for #DisabledRights too. He’s not a king, or a dictator but seems to believe he has such powers.
