Woman granted refugee status after facing prison for misgendering

The punishment is so dis-proportionate. When the fuck did people’s hurt feelings at being identified as their correct sex become a crime to this degree?

It is madness.

Brazil, that bastion of human rights, where abortion is banned and a pregnant woman (and her HCPs) can be imprisoned for it. I wonder which is considered the more serious crime, killing an embryo or foetus, or hurting a man's feelings.

Let's compare the penalties applied to women doing these things:

Abortion: 1 - 5 years, or a fine.
Hurty feels: 5 - 25 years, and unemployability.

Wow. I suppose it's a good example of how a delusional conspiracy theory can only be enforced by threats, intimidation and punishment. As everybody knows that only women give birth and that sex can't be changed by drugs and crude surgery, state sanctioned enforcement is all that's left for the zealots.

As the beelievers who rock up on here to share their seething, disordered thinking so often demonstrate, fury, contempt for women and the dismissal of the rights of others seem to foster a level of rage that's quite a sight to behold. Being able to persuade governments to do the bullying for you is a big win for them.

Ah yes, Spain. Where self-id is working so well and not being exploited by men AT ALL.

Sorry for big link, I'm on my phone and don't know how to shorten it.

I'm curious. Do any of these countries impose similarly huge fines or prison sentences for any other forms of "naughty speech" or is it just The One Special Characteristic?

Edit: Or what @WhatterySquash said more eloquently

This is outrageous, why on earth would misgendering be a crime at all let alone with a prison sentence equivalent to murder? Do any of the countries with these kinds of laws also have the same consequences if you do the same to someone who is not trans? Eg if someone called an actual woman “he”? Because if not they could surely be said to be discriminating and not treating trans people as their “acquired gender’ at all?

If the picture upthread is the misgendered "woman" in question, how is anyone to know that he is not just a man who likes wearing revealing clothing?

Imprisonment being considered in Spain too. So far it is huge fine.

What a fucking over reach of governments, bit like our none hate crime shit over here without such dire consequences.

I am in the middle of reading Doyle, “the end of woke”.

And read “New puritans” before that.

I also listened to An interview with Kathleen Stock about that Blue porn woman.

I have over the last few years shifted my views, i am fully in tune with the concept of liberalism, (not the party), and socially conservative as an ID.

This development is indeed interesting on the concepts free speach, and freedom ofbelief.

25 year sentence? What the hell?

I want to say more on that but I'm lost for words.
