if you have fuckin cancer or something serious drinking Ginger Ale and rubbing stones on your body wont do anything. Get the fuckin medical help.

TopicPriti Patel plans to 'hold asylum seekers in offshore processing centres'
MachineJaipur

If you seek asylum in one country, should you be held in a processing center in an entirely different continent?



https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/priti-patel-offshore-denmark-refugees-asylum-rwanda-africa-b942912.html


P
riti Patel is expected to reveal a bill that will allow the UK to hold asylum seekers in Australian-style offshore processing centres, according to reports.
The Home Secretary has even opened talks with Denmark over sharing a centre in Africa in a move aimed to discourage dangerous Channel crossings, The Times reported.
The Nationality and Borders Bill, which will be introduced next week, will include a provision that will allow the Government to create an offshore immigration processing centre for asylum seekers for the first time.
Boris Johnson is reportedly backing the plans after 315 migrants crossed the Channel over the weekend, taking this years total to 5,676.
Ms Patel is seeking advice from Denmark after they passed a similar bill last month with the Scandinavian nation said to be planning to send asylum seekers to a centre in Rwanda.

The Home Office has also studied Australias policy, which bans asylum seekers travelling by sea and redirects them to offshore immigration accommodation centres in states such as Papua New Guinea.

Charities and MPs hit out at the plans calling offshore processing cruel and brutally hostile.
Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council charity, said: For generations men, women and children seeking protection in the UK have been given a fair hearing on British soil.
Most have rebuilt their lives as law-abiding citizens making a huge contribution to our communities.
Offshore processing is an act of cruel and brutal hostility towards vulnerable people who through no fault of their own have had to flee war, oppression and terror.
The SNPs Westminster group leader, Ian Blackford tweeted: If Priti Patel wants to send asylum seekers to Rwanda she will have a fight on her hands. Not in our name. We treat people with respect and dignity. This is inhumane in the extreme. Where is our humanity?
This Tory Government is prepared to engage in morally reprehensible behaviour,

The policy matches the German far-right AfD partys demands to have asylum centres in North African regions.
It comes after a diplomatic row ensued with Gibraltar and the Isle of Man after the Government considered asking a number of overseas British territories to hold the centres.
Other leaks included plans to send asylum seekers to Ascension Island, more than 4,000 miles from the UK, to be processed, and turning disused ferries out at sea into processing centres. The Government dismissed the plans as blue-sky thinking at the time.
A Home Office spokesperson said: Our asylum system is broken and we cannot sit idly by while people die attempting to cross the Channel. Our New Plan for Immigration will welcome people through safe and legal routes, whilst preventing abuse of the system and the criminality associated with it.
We have been looking at what other countries do to deter illegal migration and this work continues. We will not rule out any option that could help reduce the illegal migration and relieve the pressure on the broken asylum system.

This is fucked. Even if the intentions may be rooted well, its fucked to send people to an entirely different continent, one they may have no association with, in order to apply to be admitted to the country they were trying to get to, albeit illegally.

Seemingly per the place's policy, no, but the place is wrong for having that policy without notifying their customers that they have a section of their business in which one may encounter nudity of the opposite biological sex at any time. That is not something people will expect without warning, and that is not something people should be subjected to without warning. If people don't care, then they'll use the facility as normal. If people care, they won't use the facility.
Not to worry though, according to CE it's both discriminatory and transphobic to suggest any of that because it distinctifies transwomen from women as a whole.

There's literally been attempts (some successful) that banned trans people from using the proper facilities. If your concern is people passing those laws, they were doing it already. Basically? Fuck off.
So you'd like to give said people more easy ammo instead of exercising patience in an already easily avoidable situation?

If it was merely their opinion on the line I can understand having a rather cavalier attitude towards them but if they've demonstrated an ability to change laws and/or impose new laws, is it really the best thing to give them more ammunition to use in court?

Cant let those minorities get too uppity and start demanding equal treatment or even basic respect

As I've said, I just feel this specific situation is one where being 'too uppity' as you call it will only ever backfire in your face, potentially to the point of setting trans rights back by it being made law that you have to use the area that corresponds to your genitals, instead of it merely being a choice as it is now.

That's my primary concern.

I even offered ways to address the situation in a more metered approach so the situation can eventually be handled but I guess that's just discrimination.

You can 'be uppity' all you want just about anywhere else. Saying you should exercise caution in one situation isn't the same as saying you should exercise caution everywhere.

The parameters I offered, as what I thought of as a temporary stop gap or middle ground, were labeled as discriminatory and transphobic.

I don't think demanding the right to show penises to little girls is a paramater that ever works out well for anyone involved.

And I don't really think I'm going to get respect out of this topic so I'm not really demanding respect here. I just think if you want to be taken seriously you should at least be respectful, which judging by some of the comments here isn't going to happen because nobody here seems to want to even earn any respect ever. Just demand it and if you they don't get 100% of your respect then you're a phobe.

You keep putting the onus on oppressed people to cater to the feelings of the majority rather than accepting that the best way for everything to move forward is to accept trans women as women which includes allowing them into womens spaces.

If someone does not want to see another person naked then the onus is on them to avoid areas where others will be naked. By entering into an area where there will be naked women, a person is consenting to seeing the genitals attached to women, regardless of whether that person is trans or cis.
I just feel that if you want to be accepted into a society then you have to play by the majority rule until such a time the rules change. You can fight it where you can and should.

You're continuously missing the part where someone expected only vulvas and were okay with that and consented to it. They did not knowingly consent to seeing penis, in their expectations. Which led to the transphobic ladies freakout.

Which is why I said until society at large accepts that there may be penis in the ladies area, that this will be an issue. I can be okay all I want, it doesn't change the fact that society will balk at it and nefarious anti-trans forces will use situations like this as reasons and opportunities to restrict the rights of trans peoples.

If you can't consider what your enemy will do with your actions then you'll be murdered in your sleep yesterday.

Its explicitly clear that women belong in womens spaces. if youre looking for something to explicitly say that trans women also belong, youre separating trans women from the broad category of women. If you view trans women as women then you dont need an explicit warning that trans women are in womens spaces.

Unfortunately we as a society are not at a point where we are widely ready to accept transwomen in women's spaces. If you want society to get to that point you'd do best to start with signs acknowledging the possibility, to put the idea in societies mind and then eventually get rid of the signs once it is widely accepted that it is a thing and will happen.

If you don't want to do the hard work of integrating into the society you want to be a part of and just want to buck and rant and rave about how persecuted you are then don't be surprised when decades have past and society just views trans people as a nuisance instead of what they should be viewed as, as people

It isn't even necessarily the fact that a woman has a penis that might bother them. It's just something that violates the societal expectation. It's different and strange to the uninitiated or uninformed.

And people usually don't react the best to different and strange.

Also, unfortunately not everybody recognizes the validity of transwomen and situations like this will only harm the chances of more people accepting their validity.

If you dont want to see naked people then avoid areas where people are naked. By knowingly and consensually entering an area where women could be naked, you are consenting to possibly seeing womens genitalia. If a person wishes to avoid that possibility, they can avoid the area where other women may be nude. I dont understand why this is such a hard concept for some people to understand.
Because the idea of a penis being a woman's genitals is, while not new in the grand scheme of history, new to the common societal expectation of boys have penis, girls have vaginas.

That SHOULD change, but it will take time to do so.

I can guarantee you that 99% of women who visit a spa never once have the thought of "I might see a woman's penis today"

You constantly bounce back and forth between "I support trans women and wish we were in a place where this wasn't an issue" and "What if they don't want to see a penis, huh!?"
Because what I want in the world and what is reality are two different things.

Until society changes and is ready to accept that penises are ok in, and maybe even expected, female areas then you have to consider the societal expectation of no penises in the female area, even if that may not be ideal or even right in the realm of trans considerations.

Perhaps unfortunately, but most women aren't going to just flip a switch in their brain and go "I'm okay with seeing penis in a female-only area". Especially if they've ever been traumatized by a penis.

As I said, unless it is made explicitly clear to expect to maybe see penis in an area where, in basically all of modern history, it had been no-penis the entire time before, then I'm going to err on the side of caution and say that the societal expectation takes precedence.

I think it's a little weird how much we've normalized the idea that a penis is threatening.

We've normalized rape culture so much, just the sight of a penis is traumatizing
What about a woman who had a negative experience with a penis and wants to use a spa without seeing a penis? Transwomen are women but we can't just discount the experiences and expectations of 99% of women, trans or not, who go into a female only area.

If it was explicitly stated that transwomen, pre or post-op, are accepted at said spa and that both genitals were to be potentially expected to be on display in the female-only area then it'd be one thing. However if that isn't made explicitly clear then why should women be forced to see something in a situation they don't want to see?

Segregation is forced separation inflicted upon an inferior by a superior. Separation is one party choosing to build their own future by doing for self.

The people of Hong Kong for example are fighting for a free society where they can dictate their own future, and most Americans openly support them

Choosing to separate seems like it'd have bad long term consequences. Could very easily turn "Us vs Them", even among the black communities. "Oh you're one of those who lives among the whites, you're inferior because you won't join our superior black cities"

It sounds well-intentioned and probably could work on paper. In reality though, sounds like it'd do more harm than good

I don't think trans people are wrong when they fully integrate. I'm saying society isn't ready for it and acknowledging that it'd be better for trans people to be aware of that fact is better than forcing this issue where they're easily demonized.

Obviously whoever attacked them would be at fault. Just like this transphobic lady is at fault for flying off the handle and being a fuckwit. Merely acknowledging that the situation could've been avoided isn't transphobic, just as it wouldn't be racist to acknowledge a non-white man opening a shop in small town 1960s Alabama is a bad idea.
