Too hasty by far!

Sounds like you don't have friends and you expect your partner to be your only source of emotional support. You should fix that before you try to be in a romantic relationship.

Australia rejects proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in constitution

Reply in thread

I'm Canadian and yeah.... Even IRL a lot of people refuse to admit it.

I've been forced to educate people about the Chinese Head Tax and the 2 very distinct Chinese Exclusion Acts and how that on top of Yellow Peril still affects Chinese disapora today in government regulations including immigration and social programs, which is super traumatic as a Hong Kong diaspora who is also trans, queer, female-bodied, and neurodivergent.

Australia rejects proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in constitution

I'm not sure why you're confused because the first sentence of the article literally says:

Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in the country’s constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.

Which sums up why they were trying to make this happen, which also sounds like they don't have an official group of Indigenous peoples advising the government on anything that is an Indigenous issue, which is super bad.

Firstly, you linking Jordan Peterson, who is known to spread negative propaganda about anything that isn't pro cis-white male privilege and toxic masculinity is so laughable. It proves that you're drinking the false news koolaid.

Secondly, there are people who regret the surgery for so many reasons including internalized transphobia, peer pressure, botched surgery by incompetent surgeon, etc. It's VERY hard to get approved for gender affirming surgery. You need your family doctor, psychologist, and at least two other medical professionals to access and sign off on it.

Thirdly, cis-hetero kids have been assigned hormone blockers for many medical reasons and grew up to be adults with perfectly functional endocrine systems.

If you're going to keep looking at things from a cis-straight perspective, then look at the same medical practices and procedures that are performed on cis-straight kids. You'll see that they are safe enough to not warrant any of this bullshit fear mongering from idiots like Jordan Peterson.

P.S. Surgery is done on intersex kids all the fucking time to make them conform to the gender binary against the child's consent and there is much more harm done there than there will ever be for trans kids to get gender affirming care.

P.P.S. Circumcision is also surgery done against the consent of the child, and definitely immoral when done not for religious reasons, and yet it's still a very common and openly accepted practice in the USA.
