Germany to allow annual gender change (including children)
by Archbishop Cranmer:
Just as a victory for sex/gender common sense is won in the UK with the closure of the Tavistock gender clinic for children (and a class action brought by a thousand families), an equal and opposite madness emerges in Germany, where the proposal is to allow people to change their name and gender every year, should they feel so inclined.
They specify ‘gender’ not ‘sex’, but so few people seem to understand the difference these days that the proposed law may well be referring to annual transition from male to female to male to female, depending on the weather.
The new “self-determination law” is ostensibly “to make it easier for transgender people to legally change their name and gender, ending decades-old rules that require them to get expert assessments and a court’s authorization”.
It replaces the “transsexual law”, which, since 1981, has required medical/professional assessments from two experts who are “sufficiently familiar with the particular problems of transsexualism”, followed by a court ruling to reflect the change in gender on official documents.
There is a curious, and quite revealing sentence in this article: The existing law “breathes the spirit of the ’70s,” Germany’s minister for families, Lisa Paus, said. “At the time, the state wanted to help people who were considered psychologically ill, and it set high hurdles for this.”
So gender dysphoria, which is indeed a psychological illness, is to be cured by unquestioning perpetual indulgence?
And not only for adults:
The proposed new rules provide for minors ages 14 and older to change their name and legal gender with approval from their parents or guardians; if they don’t agree, teenagers could ask a family court to overrule them.
In the case of children under 14, parents or guardians would have to make registry office applications on their behalf.
So young teenagers – children – who are known universally to struggle frequently with matters of identity and sexuality, will be able to change their registered name and gender without let or hindrance, and “no further changes would be allowed for a year”, which we are told is “a provision intended to ‘ensure the seriousness of the desire to change’”.
Seriousness? Seriously?
