URGENT:

#Trans people in Germany need your help. Our government is seriously considering to create a list of people who changed their name/gender under the recent self-identification law. This is obviously a terrible idea, especially considering the increasing popularity of the far-right party. The petition linked below would at least force the government to discuss this issue and reconsider... if we managed to reach 30.000 signatures within the next eleven days.

I recently learned that apparently living in Germany is not required to sign, so I kindly ask you to help us (and ideally share this petition with your peers). To make the process easier for you, I took screenshots of the website and translated everything. If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to reach out to me!

Just to note - this puts more people in danger than anyone may realize. Trans people are not the only people who change their names. Women do too often because of unsafe home situations. Teens/young adulds may do it to escape their birth places and keep away harmful people (many LGBTQAI+ youth do this regardless or gender).

This puts any vunerable person who has changed their name in danger of being discovered by those who want to harm them.

First they come for us, then you.

@Beurkeek

next they'll be making lists of not heterosexuals

and then a list of ...

and then to ensure that all the negative traits are weeded out, a return to something like the Nuremburg laws ...

wait a second - where has this gone wrong before?

and those Nazi book burning images - some were from literally burning books from the Institute for Sexuality in Berlin - destroying knowledge that existed in no other form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft

I though someone wrote a poem that started with:
"First they came for ..."
