#Hungary is violating #EU law by cracking down on #LGBTQ+ content children might be exposed to, a top adviser at the European Union’s highest court @Curia said on Thursday.

Hungary “has significantly deviated from the model of a constitutional #democracy,” the Advocate General Ćapeta found. #Budapest’s rules “are based on a value judgment that #homosexual and non-#cisgender life is not of equal value or status as #heterosexual and cisgender life.”

Continued thread

Basically, she argues that the life experience of #transsender people can't take precedence over the biological facts of their birth. But in the same breath, she explains that what makes a clear-cut distinction between men and women is their life experience of their sexually distinct bodies. In other words, she is implicitly only valuing #cisgender experiences. But #sexism and #patriarcat are not based on such things as the higher rate of breast cancer or prostate cancer among some populations.

i always take a few moments of silence throughout each day to think of the #transgender siblings we have lost in our ongoing battle for equality. I know it isn't #transDayOfRemembrance, but we should always remember those in our community who aren't around today.. so we can renew our vows each and every day to continue the fight for our rights.

We are powerful and we are beautiful! We deserve equality, and we shall get our equality! History will remember those who are our foes as the villains in this fight, and us the heroes! Stay strong, stay unique, stay weird, stay fabulous, stay handsome, and be yourself!

To our
#cisgender allies, please always remember us and never let us fight alone! If you ever see a trans person going through any hardship please do offer your support whenever possible! We can't win this war alone! Never forget that to stand with us means more than just uttering platitudes, but also FIGHTING with us!

If you want a great way to support #transkids #transyouth #transfolks consider supporting your local #rollerderby.

I'm full of joy when I'm in the thick of roller derby community. I love seeing these young people supported, loved and empowered to be themselves. Everyone is encouraged & included.

What makes it wonderful for #transgender youth makes it great for #cisgender youth as well. Y'all, the kids don't care. They aren't fussed by gender unless we (adults) tell them to be.

From the article: "Issues of equality and acceptance of transgender and nonbinary people — along with challenges to their rights — have become a major topic in the headlines. These issues can involve words and ideas and identities that are new to some."
