Germany is done

[Leo Gura]

Wokeness does go too far sometimes.

Legal battles for misgendering are silly.

At the end of the day, it's very easy and dumb to mock/suppress any minority group without ever having walked in their heels.

Germany is not done. Read exactly.

Penality is up to 250.000 euro. So that would be the maximum limit. Probably in reality the penalty would be around some hundred euros.

I get misgendered all the time, some call me a girl, others call me a boy, "bahave like a real woman", "stand up for ypurself and be a man", nobody realizes I am a metagender layered agender person, even in my human form, but actually an alien. Where's my 250K$? Or do I have to visit germany for that?

If the hosts were deliberately misgendering Laura as a way to attack her, then I think legal action is probably appropriate. It would be similar to a defamation lawsuit.

You can’t just say whatever you want about people publicly, especially if it’s clear cut legally inaccurate. Gender is a legal reality and she legally changed hers, along with hormone therapy and surgery.

That said, I can also see the bind the gym owner was likely in. It sounds like she was getting numerous complaints and felt like she had to do something. Gyms will need to work out new guidelines for these kind of situations.

Yes, 250k penalty is absolutely outrageous.

 

 

 

 

 

All the surgeries and effort to change your sex, but forgot to get a hair transplant.

Cute nonetheless. 

 

Lol. Maybe waiting for the strawberry blonde weave being shipped in from China.

Yes this is what I was thinking too, I think The news is misrepresenting this, it’s possibly specifically about defamation and not miss gendering.

Your English is confusing again, my man, no wonder people struggle to understand you. Still sticking to that habit of subtly putting others down, huh? 😊

Plus taxes, office fees, and other stuff... it’s 25k euros. You know it’s true!  I mean, its Germany.

Indeed my son, i had to put a "has" after "everyone", but i thought that sounded bad. English is bad for humor in general 😉

The limitations of woke ideology:

Oversimplification of complex issues:

• Woke ideology can sometimes reduce multifaceted societal problems to simple binaries of oppressor vs. oppressed.
• This can lead to overlooking nuances and complexities in social dynamics.

Purity tests and call-out culture:

• There's a tendency in some woke circles to harshly judge and "call out" those perceived as not being woke enough.
• This can create an environment of fear and self-censorship, potentially stifling open dialogue.

Tokenism and performative allyship:

• The pressure to appear woke can lead to superficial gestures rather than meaningful change.
• This can result in tokenistic representation or performative actions that don't address root issues.

Potential for division:

• While aiming to promote equality, some applications of woke ideology may inadvertently reinforce divisions between groups.
• This can sometimes lead to increased polarization rather than unity.

Academic and intellectual limitations:

• In some cases, woke perspectives may limit academic freedom or discourage exploration of certain research topics deemed controversial.
• There are concerns about potential echo chambers in academic settings.

Overemphasis on language:

• While language is important, there's a risk of focusing too much on terminology at the expense of substantive action.
• Constant evolution of acceptable language can be difficult for some to keep up with, potentially alienating allies.

Intersectionality challenges:

• While intersectionality is a key concept, it can sometimes lead to a complex hierarchy of oppression that's difficult to navigate.
• This can create conflicts between different marginalized groups.

Backlash and reactionary responses:

• Aggressive or confrontational approaches can provoke strong negative reactions, potentially hindering progress.
• This backlash can lead to the rise of anti-woke movements and policies.

Cultural relativism vs. universal values:

• There can be tensions between respecting cultural differences and upholding universal human rights.
• This becomes particularly complex in discussions of global issues.

Economic focus:

• Some argue that woke ideology focuses too heavily on identity issues at the expense of class-based economic inequalities.

Burnout and compassion fatigue:

• The constant awareness of societal problems can lead to emotional exhaustion for both activists and allies.

Potential for authoritarianism:

• In extreme cases, there are concerns that enforcing woke ideals could lead to authoritarian tendencies in institutions or governance.

What is sex? What is gender?

Why do you hold onto your sex and gender so rigidly, as if it's fundamentally true? 

I am expecting very mature responses incoming 

Who are you? What is a human? What is reality?

Why do you hold onto your idea of reality, human and who you are so rigidly, as if it's fundamentally true?

What is a question? What are implications?

Why is the syntax, language and communication so rigid, as if it's fundamentally true?
