Hello EU people:
There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks (i.e., trying to de-LGBTQ us— a process often described as "torture"). If you're interested, you can sign it here:
eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…
Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but also needs to hit a threshold in four additional countries, and those are the four closest.

I wonder if it's easier for other countries?
Admittedly I've got Firefox with NoScript set as my default browser making it even harder.

in reply to mcc • • •In the time since I linked the petition* above, Ireland has gone from under 50% to above the threshold! Spain is also now getting very close.
siorc.eu/notes/a4885f3ath9b00p…
The petition is up overall 26,000 votes in the last ten days. I don't know whether it can hit a million by May, but turning more countries green definitely sounds viable.
* The petition asks the EU to ban pseudo-psychological practices purporting to "convert" gay and trans people to straights. Yes, that's a thing, and it's cruel.

It will not make the threshold, but might be able to rack up a few more country thresholds— I'm happy to note Spain just hit it. Belgium and The Netherlands are the next best bets as they're over 65%; If you know queer-friendly folks in those countries, maybe a good time to forward this:

There is a global effort to unexist trans people. If nothing else, if the EU wants to show that it's different— that it's not a part of this— it seems like a pretty direct way to say so would be this citizen's initiative against attempting to unexist individual trans people via torture.

in reply to mcc • • •Okay big news on the EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" (IE "curing" or perhaps "torturing into submission") on LGBTQs—
BE, NL and SI came through and last night the initiative *met* the 7 countries goal! It needs 330,000 more signatures before the 17th to pass, which sounds rough, but it's got *420,887* in just 5 days, so things are actually on a good pace. This will at least be really close, and this could happen!

in reply to mcc • • •By the way, since I know there's a lot of Germans on Mastodon:
The need right now on the EU citizen petition against anti-LGBTQ "conversion therapy" ( mastodon.social/@mcc/114512352… ) is raw votes from anywhere. BUT as it happens Germany's currently the closest %-wise to being the 8th country to endorse the petition!
15.5k DE votes would turn Germany green on this map, and send a pro-LGBTQ message to German lawmakers¹:
¹ DE already has a local law banning gay/trans conversion therapy against minors.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know
Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

I was also confused by the text, because it is so broad that the “or others” include the hormonal therapies for trans people, which are not pseudo-medicine, but they do alter the gender expression of these people (as desired).

The EU citizen initiative petitioning the European Parliament to outlaw "conversion therapy" ("curing" LGBTs via torture) has met its threshold (1M votes and 8 countries supporting).
One week ago I sincerely thought y'all wouldn't make it. Amazing work Europe (and hi5 Germany, now country 8).
This is an incredible statement at a time the US/UK govt are forcing conversion (medical detransition) for trans minors.

The "end of the collection period" is May 17 (so seven hours from now… plus 24 if the person who told me it's *EOD* May 17 is correct) so if you're an EU national you can still vote to run up the numbers and convince EU Parliament you're serious. Also:
- If 4,343 Italians sign, it's ten countries endorsing
- 5,308 Austrians makes it eleven
- 6,794 from Portugal makes it twelve

It's at 1.2 million votes over 1 million; surplus votes are good because some votes may be disqualified, so EU nationals, it's still worth voting!
One thing I notice, it looks like DENMARK and CROATIA are *so* close to passing— under 1000 votes each. Does anyone here know how to inject a message in the Danish internet?

Don't feel obligated, but would you mind contacting the "Contact us" link at this page citizens-initiative.europa.eu/… (nederlandse version here I think? citizens-initiative.europa.eu/… ) and letting them know your experience? 2 votes on 1 petition aren't such a big deal, but it seems like the site should not be breaking for certain countries selectively…

Yes. Rid your continent of that cruel scourge.

in reply to mcc • • •For French nationals, this is very easy for us (you do not need an eID). It took me exactly 3min from a phone.
So, no excuse ;)

And while you're there, don't forget to leave a comment that X/Twitter is a threat to EU democracy and tell them to remove the link to share on X.

in reply to mcc • • •when I read conversion therapy my first thought was mental health support for people that are transitioning, because it's a stressful thing to do.
Turns out it's almost the opposite.
I guess I'm too naive for this society.

Bit of a hassle but not too bad; then again, I have the DigiD app on my phone, linked to my ID.

in reply to mcc • • •I've tried to sign this several times now. I did not succeed.
That is, I wanted to use an eID, (Dutch DigiD) and it won't let me log in, resulting in a time-out error. The culprit is not on the side of the eID, with other services it works fine.

I'm boosting with tags to increase visibility.
Every #EuropeanUnion citizen's signature helps toward the one million minimum. Signatures are most needed from #Begium, #Denmark, #Germany, #Netherlands (might be giving signatories problems), #Slovenia, and #Spain for at least four of these to meet the threshold of support.

IMHO, diminishing how people should/want to be treated to biology seems like a really bad take, no matter how many sexes there are (or are not).
And that's before we note that there are a lot of social conventions that have nothing to do with biology that affect how we are socially treated: how cleaners/janitors, hobos, nobility, royalty, and priesthood get separate considerations, or teachers, doctors (MD and otherwise), judges; are we married etc.

I feel I understand gender-stuff (e.g. the connection between sex, sexuality, self-image) less than most, but I understand that when treating others as people or as collective, only two things should apply: how it makes the subject feel, and how to facilitate that with least inconvenience to the surroundings.

in reply to mcc • • •I was reading the petition demands that are rightly detailed.
I started wondering whether "Provide a clear, precise and comprehensive definition of conversion practices, which shall cover all practices that seek to change [...] a person's [...] gender identity [...]" could be misinterpreted (wilfully, perhaps) by some as including voluntarily-chosen HRT for trans people that has a positive rather than negative psychological effect, unlike what this is combatting.
