(Sparkles) yk how much i hate posting about trpol but i need to ask for a solidarity call right now.
(citing Kaos GL despite I fucking hate them for certain personal reasons because they explained the proposal better)
there is an unconfirmed new bill proposal that emerged on the Türkiye newspaper that proposes to:
- raise the age limit for gender affirming surgeries to 25 (despite the de jure limit for it being 18 and the de facto limit being 22 - explained in the thread)
- and prosecute those who have gender affirming surgery through "unauthorized means" (i.e. abroad) with 3 to 7 years in prison, and if the gender affirming surgery is performed on a child or by an unauthorized person the penalties would be increased by one half
- any person who undergoes gender affirming surgery through unauthorized means will be sentenced to one to three years in prison
- a person who behaves in contrary to their "biological sex" or against "general morality" or publicly praises or promotes such behaviour, will be prosecuted with 1.5-3 years in prison
and i need to call people for solidarity in queer people of Turkey so that this bill shan't pass, please boost this
the "general morality" part of this bill is already being enforced de facto against openly queer people despite not being de jure and failing to pass the Assembly with the 11th Judical Package
