Japan and the Sterilisation of Transgender People By Mrs Vera West

     With all of the sad news around at the moment, I am sorry to report on this real shocker, coming from Japan, which is not a “white” country, but race, and even colour does not exist, just like gender and sex which are pure social constructions, but the Japanese have not caught on to this yet:

“Should transgender people be sterilised before they are recognised? Earlier this year Japan’s Supreme Court decided that the answer is yes. Takakito Usui, a transgender man (i.e., someone who was born female but identifies as male), had sued over a requirement that, to be officially designated a man, he has to have his ovaries and uterus removed (as well as have surgery to make his genitals look male, be over 20, single, have no minor children and have been diagnosed as suffering from “gender-identity disorder”). He argued that all this violated his right to self-determination and was therefore unconstitutional. The court disagreed. Human-rights groups say demanding irreversible surgery is outrageous. Although several Asian countries, including South Korea, have similar laws, Western countries that once also used to require sterilisation, such as Norway, France and Sweden, no longer do. In 2017 the European Court of Human Rights called for the change in all 47 countries under its jurisdiction. Sweden has started to compensate transgender people who underwent mandatory sterilisation.”

     Yes, hopefully the world will rise up in anger against this terrible, terrible thing, that still accepts that sex is biological, and not a totally socially constructed category, like race, matter, the sun, time, energy, entropy, and other social fictions and frictions, that make up the multiverse.

     That video makes it all almost believable, just like the stuff done on maths, physics, etc.
