we are doing some trans activism in the following months, tired of this country treating my existence as a clinical insanify i have to self-discriminate and beg for,, all progress is being led by activists and courts all while the government is turning a blind eye
lithuania has been nothing but ignorant of trans peoples rights since 2007, it took them 15 years just to make the name change process not require expensive and costly court procedures and they still gatekept it behind a "transsexualism" diagnosis, which ive been constantly suffering and dedignifying myself over since like 15, in an environment where i get death threats or other hatecrime just going kn walks
you still have to go through those same court procedures to change your legal gender on documents
this ridicule of trans people cannot continue uncalled out for, it is a clear ignorance of european justice court orders, systematic discrimination against transgender people, and a clear violation of human rights, especially for a country that positions itself as a progressive and freedom-loving nation "compared to regimes like balarus"
tomorrow i am contacting some orgs and i plan to escalate to government sectors, exchanges will be as public as i can allow it, because i cannot let this issue to be quietly swept under the rug,, if i managed to push for trans rights and recognition in school and work maybe i can do it for future national good as well
stay tuned
