On November 1, Germany introduces a law making it easier to alter the gender marker and name on official documents. Transgender, intersex, non-binary people have welcomed the move but conservatives are opposed.

I'm actually generally scared of the fact that the entire world seems to wander more into right-wing conservatism...

My main hope is that parties like the AfD, the FPÖ (right-wing extremist party that won the election in Austria), Trump, ... will see things like gender identity as more of a side issue in the world and not doing anything, neither good nor bad because they have "better" things to do. I have no clue how gender identity even became a political issue in the first place but it really needs to stop

Do you know of some believable survey stat showing how much of real people support the AfD?

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

Even if the AfD isn't in a coalition, a member of the CDU literally described itself as "AfD but with democracy". And they are conservative shits favoring the AfD.
