Amy Zoyomi is a 29-year-old transgender woman from Lucenec, a town with 30,000 inhabitants in southern Slovakia. As an adult, Amy decided to move to the capital, Bratislava. Her gender identity was one of the main reasons for leaving her hometown.
For Amy, life in Lucenec and life in Bratislava are poles apart. “When I walk down the street in my home town, people often stare at me,” she told DW. “Sometimes they stop, and the stares change to verbal abuse. That doesn’t happen in the capital. I feel safe here, people are much more relaxed and don’t pay so much attention to others,” she explained.
When will governments stop dictating what people do with their own bodies
Maybe the day when the people who elect government officials stop judging their neighbors and just love them for who they are. Tall order, though.
Umm they arnt they are simply dictating what can go on a legal document based on what people do with their own bodies
Which has further implications for their lives, such as being able to marry their partner without having to be medically sterilized by the government.
Live and let live.
I give zero fucks what people do to themselves just pointing out the premise of the point being made was mute.
