Highly offensive and unacceptable.
And [against all races], we may give leighway when it comes to stat compliance, but being proud of your failure is going to cut that leighway faster.

Sorry everyone, I'm temporarily less able to serve. I just moved apartments and its going to take a but to get anything more than mobile internet.

We would like to officially apply for leighway. We are not proud of our shortcomings and we are working hard to correct them.

You have not even attempted an issue, and your 7-day deadline has already run out. What's more, you have been ejected once before after letting the deadline expire. Since the first time you arrived here, you have not attempted a single issue.

Why?

Ejections will be reviewed and carried out this evening.
If you are ejected and do not agree with it, ensure you are compliant with membership requirements and telegram our illustrious minister of justice.

First, political change is a long and difficult process. According to the WA we have outlawed "political freedom". Let us assure everyone, the people is in power over here. Our "political freedom" is ranked low because the political parties of the bourgeoisie were declared illegal after an unlawful conspiracy to overthrow the democratic socialist government.

We are not in a situation right now were it is possible to implement changes that might grant the former ruling class a political platform. Doing so would jeopardize the gains of our young socialist state. It could be the end of our people's democracy, no matter how highly the WA would rank our "Political Freedoms". Again, we ask for patience.

(OOC) Actually, in the case of recently founded nations like yours, issues take effect very quickly and very visibly (i.e. it would take a longer period of time for an old nation to change their political freedoms/civil rights in a situation like yours). So no.

You asked and were given an answer...perhaps you could move regions till those freedoms are up to an acceptable level. We are a patient region but please do not attempt to abuse our president's kindness. RP is a privilege and should not be used to circumvent the charter.

In Thailand, they IRL formerly thought the same too as in LGBT was a mental disorder. The court (in 2012?) declassified it as a mental disorder.

If one had a mental disorder like that, it would've been difficult to get many jobs.

Note: I do not think that way IRL.

Suceavija wrote:Why?

It is odd, but psychiatrists sometimes lie to help people. For example, the DSM used to have a diagnosis for "Asperger's Syndrome", but then dropped it in the next edition. The next edition did have "High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder", which seemed to be similar to the proposed reforms for what Asperger's Syndrome was originally going to be in the next edition.

The reason why was that Asperger's Syndrome was considered a pre-existing condition, and so the psychiatric community tried to assist Americans with Asperger's Syndrome (most now qualifying for "High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder" instead).

With "Gender Dysphoria", once you see what the APA recommends for the diagnosis, it is rather clear what is meant by classifying it as a mental disorder: it provides the means to get a prescription for various means of transitioning.

Unfortunately, as a proponent of virtue ethics, I can see that the that line being used by people other than psychiatrists generally is indicative not of "They are diagnosed with a mental disorder. The means of treating this mental disorder require that we recognize their gender identity and provide support in transitioning," but of, "They are diagnosed with a mental disorder, so I get to do the mental health equivalent of Christian Science by insisting that it is their fault."

I was all for the scientific cooperation till I got to the funding part...can't seem to trust that private word...too many shadows for self-interest to hide in

Finally someone said this, im liking this region more every minute...

We need two more ambassadors! Step right up if you're interested. Shoot me a TG and I'll get you set up.

That was weird... the repeal's effects had nothing to do with culture. My defense rank jumped, as did law enforcement and safety from crime, and my civil rights lowered. Is this a glitch?
