How is your takeaway from this "oh no! They are banning asexuality!" They are banning being LGBTQIA+. They are just using a modern woke version of the acronym to define who they persecute. De facto they will only go after asexual people that go to pride parades or start advocacy groups or something. They're not gonna arrest you for not filling your sex quota lol

[stalksships]

I’m going to respond to this with the assumption this was NOT!! originally posted with bad intent, but we’ll see if I can keep up that line of thinking.

Firstly, the OP of the tweet just happened to cut off the name of the subreddit this was posted to. Turns out it was posted to r/Asexual. You know. The subreddit dedicated to talking about asexuality and related things. It makes sense that the original poster and a mod of that very subreddit would emphasize the inclusion of asexuality in Niger’s article 25.

Here’s a link to the actual Reddit post btw

Secondly, while all persecution of queer identities is evil and unjust, it is significant to point out asexuality being included. Most of the time laws don’t go into specifying more than gay or trans identities when it comes to trying to bar rights to individuals. This article has go so far to break down and specify the meaning of every single letter in LGBTQIA and call them all an “act against nature” to justify punishing anyone under the banner. It makes sense to, again, emphasize that asexuality was also included when this was posted in the r/Asexual subreddit.

And thirdly, and this is kinda the most important part imo, this means ANYONE CAN BE ACCUSED AND PERSECUTED UNDER THIS CHARTER. People in the subreddit and even the OP of the tweet are asking “how can you even prove that?” And that’s the thing. You can’t. So it makes it that much easier to just accuse someone of asexuality in order to force them into a heterosexual relationship or punish them.

Think about it. What’s stopping a bitter ex or an abusive spouse from accusing their partner of “denying sex due to their asexual tendencies” in order to punish them? Maybe someone is career driven or just not interested in a relationship at the time. What’s stopping a business rival, a jilted flirt, or an obsessed stalker from leaving an anonymous tip that the object of their ire is an asexual deviant? Absolutely nothing.

Taking this post and dismissing it as “no one cares you don’t want to fuck” is completely missing the point on why this is exceptionally dangerous. And acting like a mod of the r/Asexual subreddit is being silly for putting emphasis on the dangers to their community is rude at best.

The fact that everyone with a queer identity now can face prison time and ridiculous fines is terrifying and it breaks my heart to know more and more countries are baking these laws into their charters and constitutions. But we should be bringing these things into the light and condemning the people pushing for this kind of cruelty, not throwing stones at each other for pointing out a specific part of the article that affects us personally.

Uplift your fellow queers. Don’t do the CIA’s job for them and try to tear our community apart with useless infighting.

This will also pave the way for corrective rape being used even more. And just straight up rape in general. You want to say no to sex? Get accused of being asexual and put in jail.

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

[amuseoffyre]

She also royally screwed over a domestic abuse charity in Edinburgh purely because the woman running it was trans and was ensuring equality for all staff, but when one of the staff got aggressive about knowing what was in a non-binary person's knickers (if you're asking "what are you *really*", that's what you're doing), it all kicked off. According to staff who worked there at the time, they were subject to harassment and threats by the affiliates of that woman.

Don't believe her when she says she cares about welfare of survivors of abuse. She brought to bear her wrath against that charity, doing unimaginable damage and causing fear and distress for the employees as well. She attacked Amnesty International and has threatened them as well.

She's also gone after neurodivergent people and ace folk as well, not to mention so many of her associates are now known affiliates of right-wing organisations. When you get this toxic in so many directions already, the sky is the limit for how bad it could get.

Actually no one should be having sex. All of us are aged-up minors and the passage of time is inherently problematic

Evil fuck you purple heat storm over France

[trashlord-watson]

To the people who might go "yeah well that's a regular summer in [insert country or region]", I would like to point out the obvious that France (and other European countries curently suffering) is not these countries used to such heat for such mong periods of time.

Yes, it is finally summer, and yes, it's supposed to be hot too here. Except our hot temperatures are still way below that. The average temperatures at that period between 1991-2020 are 15-20°C below what we're experiencing. It's 41°C in Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, when it should be about 25, 42°C in Rennes when it should be 22.

On Tuesday 23rd, France was hotter than 99% of the planet. Only some specific zones in the Sahara, Arabian, and American deserts were hotter.

In the night between Monday and Tuesday, temperatures only came back down to between 21 and 28 degrees. Those are supposed to be the temps at day.

About A/C: it's true, most of the country doesn't have it. Some public transportation, supermarkets, restaurants have it, and some individual houses too. But that's about it. Because we didn't really need it until a few years ago, and it's both hard and expensive to get it installed, especially in older buildings like those in Paris. But also, you've got to understand that if A/C makes your life easier inside, it considerably worsens things outside. The heat generates by A/C would up the termps a few degrees more, and would not fix the issue of going outside.

[haemey]

The heat wave in Germany finally broke today, but the next one is already on the horizon, and it's likely going to be just as bad.

We're used to maybe 3-5 days of 30-35°C at the end of July or beginning of August.

This is ten consecutive days of 35-40°, with 25° at best during the night, so you couldn’t even open a window during the night without risking to heat up your house, at the end of June, with more to come.

This is not Summer. This is a literal death trap natural disaster.

Our harvests are dying, our drinking water is evaporating, our traffic lights are melting, and so are our streets and railway tracks, and the famous German Autobahn is cracking open, to the point where eleven Autobahnen have become unusable over the past few days. Our hospitals are overheating. People are literally dying from this.

Making fun of us for never having needed AC and thus being unprepared is unhelpful.

I'm really tired of people outside the UK claiming that JK Rowling's bigotry doesn't extend to trans men and non-binary people. I can't get an autism diagnosis, because I'm scared that it will be used against me to deny me the healthcare I need, as Rowling and her ilk have been spreading the rhetoric that transmascs are just confused autistic girls who are too stupid to know their own gender.
