ROMANIA JOINS HUNGARY in banning “Gender Identity” recognition nonsense

Maybe it’s a good time to consider moving to Central/Eastern Europe? A number of Central European countries are increasingly bucking the Western European trend on gender ideology and LGBT issues. Romania’s Senate has joined Hungary in prohibiting any reference to gender identity as a separate one from biological gender, thereby effectively banning gender studies in the country. Viktor Orban quashed transgender rights in Hungary and the rest of Central/Eastern Europe is next. This move in Hungary is not a flash in the pan. Across parts of Europe, especially in the East, the rollback of transgender so-called “rights” is real.

Remix News The amendment adds a new section e) to article 7, paragraph 1 of the education bill which prohibits “activities to spread the theory or opinion of gender identity, understood as the theory or opinion that gender is a different concept from biological sex and that the two are not always the same”.

The amendment was introduced by the center-right People’s Movement Party (PMP) just half an hour before the session of the Senate and was approved by a wide margin with the support of the Social-Democrat Party (PSD), resulting in the amendment receiving 81 yes votes, 21 no votes, and 27 abstentions.

Earlier this year, Hungary also passed an amendment of the administrative law, effectively making birth gender unalterable in official documents such as driver’s licenses and identification cards. The new law means that even for those who perform gender reassignment surgery will not be recognized as having changed their gender, as gender is determined at birth and based on chromosomes.

In Poland, President Andrzej Duda, who is currently running for a second term, is a strong opponent of LGBT ideology and is promoting a “Family Charter”, promising to “ban the propagation of LGBT ideology in public institutions”.

Duda said this week while on the campaign trail for presidential elections later this month “that they are trying to persuade us that LGBT is a category of people, but it’s an ideology”. Although there was fierce backlash from liberal media outlets against his statements, Poles largely agree with his stance on LGBT issues.

Other countries in the region are taking a more conservative stance on social issues as well. This week, Latvia joined Hungary, Poland and other Central European countries in questioning the gender and pro-migration ideologies promoted by the Istanbul Convention, with conservative parties calling for a constitutional probe into the convention to determine whether it is legal.

Gender studies “Gender studies has become a battleground,” says Massimo Prearo, an Italian political-studies researcher at the University of Verona. “In the last five years, it has developed from a peripheral concern to a central topic for those who purport to defend European Christian civilization.”

“Gender studies has no business in universities,” Hungary’s deputy prime minister, Zsolt Semjen, said when the discipline’s ban was announced. “It is an ideology, not a science.”

In countries with Stalinist scars, the accusation of ideology is readily associated with pedagogic brainwashing. In Germany, the new word genderismus—conjuring up the idea that gender is an ideology—wilfully echoes the sozialismus, or socialism, of East German memory. In Estonia, where the  Conservative People’s Party joined the coalition government in March, the website Objektiiv regularly publishes articles comparing “gender ideology” to Marxism and Leninism.

In The Global Sexual Revolution: Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom, the increasingly popular conservative parties such as Alternative for Germany and UKIP are in line with  Hungary and Poland in promoting:

YouTube brands video on anti-trans ideology ‘hate speech.’

The Communists The video below is hosted by a US-based catholic organization called TFP Student Action, an off-shoot of the conservative American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property.

It is an indictment of the mess that our ‘progressives’ have got themselves into that the doctor being interviewed, a paediatrician who has strong catholic, pro-life, conservative views, is nevertheless more material in her outlook on this topic than most of the US and British left.

In our topsy turvy world, where left and right have turned themselves inside out, the Trotskyists and social democrats have become more reactionary, individualist and pro-imperialist than the so-called conservatives.

So it is ‘hate speech’ to give a platform to a doctor explaining that there are proven biological differences between men and women that are hardwired into our DNA … if you are a communist.

And it is those on the ‘left’ in Britain and the US who are desperate to assist our imperialist rulers in stifling debate and promoting ever-greater levels of censorship, even though the ultimate target of all censorship is not ‘bigots’ but those who stand against imperialism.
