“It is not an issue unless it is made one.” She created the issue, not you. She is thinking it is a problem that she has darker skin tones, I still don’t see the issue in itself. Yes, it is sad that she reacts that way for her own inacceptance of appearance differences. It is a mental issue that can be understood with something that is refered to as the missing tile syndrome, assuming she complains because she does not fit the ideal that she set out for herself.
But it does not bring perspective, merely confirms what I already mentioned “It is not an issue unless it is made one” and people would call somebody doing that crazy here, for a good reason.
Uh, I honestly do not view russia as being a part of Europe. The largest parts of it lie in Asia, while their agrar culture and their current capital are considered to lie in Europe. I will assume that you refer that they are politically stronger represented in Europe rather than Asia, which would be correct, but russia still seems like something totally different to Europe.
I used the word “largely” specifically which means “to a great extend; mostly” not that they are “perfectly” accepting. I also did not venture on the political aspect, merely on the social. I did not say “European Nations” but rather “europeans” which refers to a population living on that specific landscape. Politically there are still issues, yes, but you need to remember whom the current politicians largely are: Old people. What it implies, you can figure it out for yourself really.
Acceptance does not start politically, but socially.
There are social experiments where homosexuel couples went to a various number of countries, begun kissing to see how people would react. For Europe: Nobody really reacted, some looked, but nobody said a thing to them.
There are 2 cases where mtf where killed in a male prison in the UK. Things to consider: The victims could have prevented this; it is a very small ammount. 2 people. Literally 2.
the UK has a population of 64.1 million, 300.000 to 500.000 are guessed to be transgender. The study that suggested the number summed it down badly and did not consider the ones suffering under gender dysphoria but do not come out with it or have been lucky enough to come to acceptance and do not need to face the decision between death and transitioning. We also need to know age values to determ where and when discrimination occurs, this is important to figure out where the actual issues lie and how they could be most efficently be tackled and solved.
As of the start of this year, improvements were promised by UK officials.
I won’t venture into the subject of modern feminism publicly, there are too many people that do not want to see the point in it and what may had started small may turn to a big mess that I want nothing to do with it. I may had been more open to it on PM, but do not feel inclined after words were swapped out. (Largely → Perfectly) And really, those two do make a big difference.
@FairyGodfeather West Germany. Where most of the migration happens. My mother is racist, still does not mean I understand it, having grown up with so many different cultures throughout my entire life.
My boyfriend disagrees with the idea of transgender because he bears a different opinion, perspective on gender. He still accepts and respects them and refers to the individual as should be.
At a place where I worked for a short time, we had a transgender. Nobody really cared. Not even one customer and we easily had a few thousand different customer a week.
I also know of a single case of discrimination towards a black person here in germany. A single. It is not made an issue here. Would not even have heard of it if he did not mention it to me directly and put all the fault for his misery onto it.
My mother just puts all the faults in the system and her dissatisfaction about her financial situation onto black people, arabians, the migrants basically. I will not go into the consequences for her psyche on this or how it impedes her own satisfaction or happyness, just that it is rather sad to watch it.
For the issues in the UK… I mentioned it in this post, but to put it into perspective… there is not enough data available for me to form an opinion and while the study seems okay, it seems incomplete to me and article relating to it are very one sided and merely scream “issue” and take numbers out of the study without aligning it in proper or complete context.
Something similiar happened with the study about transgender attempted suicide risk study(in the US), such as that those that live without any mentioning of what would be an issue to others, have the lowest risk and that those that were sexually abused by the police actually stand at a 70% that attempted suicide. Instead, you are only given 40%, which again only screams issue.
