Self ID is utterly terrifying. Germany has shown its true colors, again. Power to the women standing up to this hate.

Germany: f***ing unbelievable.

The international resistance & level of support: beautiful.

Question: did the German people want this new law, or did the leaders ram it through without popular support?

I’d be interested in learning about that too. This is SO extreme.

To amend our Title IX would need 2/3 vote. Germany didn’t have 2/3 vote, but they don’t have our Constitution! This is most extreme law. The UN recent report was supportive of keeping women spaces…..no one seems to listen to the UN.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz said: "We show respect to trans, intersex and non-binary people - without taking anything away from others. This is how we continue to drive the modernisation of our country. This includes recognising realities of life and making them possible by law."

The Self-Determination Act was passed with 374 ayes to 251 no's and 11 abstentions.

People who claim that the woke ideology has reached its peak and is declining are not paying attention. What a horror show is going on in Europe!

Agree! Even in the US….with no representation Biden Admin rewrites Title IX Amendment. Only hope in US is Supreme Court. They must clarify earlier case re employment and tackle our issue. UN report says it all. Germany off my bucket list!

The politicians are lying again; just like they did in Scotland when the Women who Won’t Wheesht told them it was a bad idea and weren’t heeded. It went badly for the politicians!

Women aren’t going to Wheesht - all round the world and we have got to fight back and win this.
