#youth discrimination

[youth-liberation-june]

anyway, it is literally normal for a parent to treat their kid like a f*cking kidnapper would treat a person they were “in love” with.

keep track of their internet, make sure they're not “consuming anything they shouldn't”, feed them when or whatever they want to feed them, force them to spend "quality time" with them,

but they really could use the excuse, “it's all because i love you,” to get away with it.

and adultists just blindly go with it because they're a child. like that part’s not supposed to set alarms off.

the adult supremacy needs to be dismantled. this is why we need youth liberation.

it should be common sense that a kid shouldn't have to do everything their parent says because “they’re the parent, and they're the child.”

i am telling you, they're both human beings with the same human rights.

there should be reason, and negotiation.

it should be common sense that parents being able to force their kids to go anywhere without their consent is problematic.

pressure CPS. pressure the incompetent.

Anti-Trans Legislation Kills

[Digital illustration of a Black trans women wearing a dress made of words describing anti-trans legislation.

so I am back to the working week today.

it’s a psychotherapy day and I have a lot of LGBTQIA+ clients.

so i spend quite a lot of time listening to the stories of being scared, rejected, left etc. and all this makes me so sad and angry. and i remember how it felt to be me when i was like 13 or even 18 y.o. and there were nobody around to take as a role model or at least to talk to. when i was struggling to understand my sexuality and how to live with it there was no youtube content or social networks. but even with all these internet possibilities so many people are still afraid to be who they are. afraid to tell family and friends. and i guess one of my main ideas now is to talk to people and give ‘em support and be the type of person i missed for years while growing up

More than half of non-binary youth in Canada are avoiding team sports due to discrimination, with only 11 per cent of non-binary youth currently participating, new research from Simon Fraser University has found. According to the first-of-its-kind 2023 Canadian Non-Binary Youth in Sport Report, 66 per cent of non-binary youth have avoided joining an organized team sport because they would have to play on a gendered men’s or women’s team, with four in five fearing locker room layouts. More than half the participants who currently play team sports have also witnessed discriminatory comments, and more than 16 per cent have witnessed physical harassment because of a person’s gender as well, the study found. “We see in our numbers that there is a lot of exclusion and discrimination occurring in sport,” lead author Martha Gumprich told Global News. “We know that physical activity is can improve someone’s mental and physical health, and this is especially important for the LGBTQ+ community. As we know, they have worse mental health outcomes than those who are heterosexual or cisgender. By making sport safer for everyone, everyone benefits.”

The elections are over in the UK.

Shabbaz has a really good summary of the current situation. It’s worth taking a look.

And if my peeps over here live in the UK, please go out and vote in every election. Demand accountability from your local representatives. You can hold them accountable when they aren’t living up to their manifesto.

I no longer live in the UK. I was one of the many European migrant workers that left because of Brexit. The environment was hostile, the whole settlement scheme was giving dejavú of the Windrush scandal. Residency was now dependent on work visas, citizenship no longer attainable.

If you still live in the UK do your utmost to keep the tories out. Jacob Rees Mogg does not have your best interest at heart, his businesses are not even located in the UK. Boris Johnson got his French passport while he was pushing for Brexit. They’ve trashed the country to let you living in rubbles while they have a escape route.

yea genuinely THIIS is the childism im talking about. sorry if youre offended, but ya cant hate kids. young people ? cant hate them. literally imagine yourself replacing yhat with like. idont know. queer people. "ihate queer people" sounds wrong ?? queermisic ?? so why is it morally acceptable/ok, or at least neutral to hate a young person ? its not.

[youth-liberation-june]

i think when most people think of the term child abuse, they might think of physical abuse done to children.

while any kind of mistreatment that happens to children is abuse, i think we should use the term “child discrimination,” as well,

or youth discrimination

so people would know & realize more that children get discriminated against in other ways besides physical abuse.

Ministers consider rule to let single-sex schools bar transgender pupils | Schools | The Guardian

The government is considering issuing guidance to single-sex schools in England saying that they cannot be legally obliged to take transgender pupils, as part of advice to be released this term.

The advice, first reported by the Telegraph, is also likely to include direction for schools to inform parents about children questioning gender identity.

The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, is understood to be particularly keen that the rules clarify in detail that parental consent is paramount in the way that schools approach pupils questioning their gender identity.

The advice, which is being drawn up by the education secretary, Gillian Keegan, and Kemi Badenoch, who holds the equalities portfolio, comes after the Girls’ Day School Trust said last year it would only admit pupils based on sex, rather than gender.

However, schools have sought legal advice about enforcing the rule amid concerns it could breach the Equality Act.

A government source said the guidance being drafted was hoped to clarify the legal situation for schools on admitting transgender pupils and on using preferred pronouns. A draft version of the guidance is expected to be put out to consultation within weeks.

The guidance is expected to say that schools would not be breaching the Equality Act 2010 if they did not accommodate transgender pupils, although no pupils would be required to leave a school if they started questioning their gender identity.

This would mean that girls’ schools would be able to reject applications from pupils who identify as female but whose legal sex is male, and vice versa for boys’ schools.

You are a great source of news and information and related statistics. You keep your nose to the ground and update folks like me. I appreciate that. I was wondering, I feel like I need to have sources on hand, printed out to carry with me because I got a coworker who loves to debate. He refuses to use my chosen name, despite my repetitive reminding him how I hate it, especially when he uses all 3 syllables of it and he also strikes me as the kind of guy who wants the lgbtq community to "be palletable". So he asks me about all this stuff. And I can't hold all the facts and figures, and I know he's not likely to change his viewpoints but still. What would be some good, uh, starting material to keep on hand? Statistics or studies, or even articles about legislations currently passing that actively harm us as a whole?

It's a huge topic, so this is a bit skatter shot.

A new poll illustrates that a majority of Americans are concerned about the anti-LGBTQ policies (especially in school districts). It is very concerning how much conservatives are attacking LGBTQ rights and freedoms. I really hope the democrats and other leftists are able to fight back against this fascism
