UNE HOMOPHOBIE TACITE PROPULSE LE MOUVEMENT IDENTITAIRE DU GENRE FACE AUX ENFANTS
22 June, by siawi3Il est aujourd’hui devenu plus socialement acceptable d’être un homme transgenre qu’une femme homosexuelle. Pour ceux qui sont troublés à l’idée d’avoir un fils au comportement dit féminin, la transition offre une alternative prometteuse en permettant à un enfant de faire la transition, un garçon efféminé se présentant désormais comme une fille féminine.

The Unspoken Homophobia Propelling the Transgender Movement in Children
22 June, by siawi3It has become more socially acceptable to be a transgender man than a gay woman. As children grow up, parents will undoubtedly notice if their son is effeminate. For those who are troubled at the thought of having a girly son, transitioning offers a promising solution—by allowing a child to transition, a feminine boy now presents as a feminine girl. A little boy who enjoys indulging in make-up and other female-typical activities will bring about much less attention and criticism if he were a girl.

Boris Cyrulnik : « Le langage totalitaire » - Le tunnel conceptuel
22 juin, par siawi3Une théorie qui se prétend totalement explicative est une théorie totalitaire. Le langage est alors organisé autour d’une seule référence, qu’elle soit religieuse, laïque ou scientifique. Le chef, le penseur est la seule référence.

India: Open Letter to my fellow Muslims: Please step out of the ‘we are oppressed’ narrative. Fix what you can!
22 June, by siawi3Don’t take me wrong. I do not deny that the community has been oppressed, that there has been rampant, blatant discrimination. Please start utilising the seats that you get in educational institutes, especially those in universities that have minority status, rather than indulging in hooliganism, and passing just for the heck of being called a BA graduate. Make the most of it. Accept it or not, education is what will uplift the community.

The victories – and continuing struggles – of women in Sudan
22 June, by siawi3There were hopes that the overthrow of Bashir would lead to change in the situation of women. But there are now worries under the Transitional Military Council, which assumed power and has since violently suppressed protesters. The council has created an atmosphere where it is difficult to advocate for broader participation for women, commitment to women’s human rights, or gender equality. And as the country looks to a possible transition, the ruling transitional council must hand power over to a civilian-led government with at least 40% representation of women. It is crucial to ensure that women have meaningful participation at all levels, and that commitments to gender equality and women’s human rights permeate constitutional, legal and policy reform.

USA: Jesuit School Refuses to Fire Gay Teacher, Even After Catholic Church’s Threats
22 June, by siawi3There have been far too many stories about gay teachers who work at Catholic schools, only to get fired after their relationships or marriages become public. It doesn’t matter how popular or beloved or experienced those teachers are — if they’re in a same-sex relationship, the Church will gleefully kick them out no matter how much it hurts the community. One Church resists.
