Pakistan gets US Aid for Transgenders

| May 4, 2023

 

The US is sending Pakistan, one of our closest allies (ahem) $500,000 to help transgender Pakistani youth learn to speak English better. No, seriously, we are.

Have to admit, when I first saw this article I thought Pakistan, one of the more fundamentalist Islamic countries, was about as understanding of TG folks as Iran etc. are of gays, ie: not at all.  Turns out Pakistan is far more progressive on the subject than most places – one of 12 countries who have codified into law transgender rights. From January 2022:

More than three years after the Islamic Republic of Pakistan enacted a historic law guaranteeing transgender citizens fundamental rights and protecting them from discrimination and harassment, American taxpayers will fund a program to “promote broader social inclusion of transgender people” in the south Asian nation. The goal is to help Pakistan’s transgender community develop vocational skills and knowledge to improve economic opportunities by, among other things, teaching them how to establish and manage small-scale businesses. Uncle Sam is also throwing in “seed funding” of up to $600 to help transgender Pakistanis set up a business after their skills training.

Judicial Watch

Originally the money spent was pegged at $150,000 to start.

The Biden administration in United States is offering a $500,000 grant to promote English language skills in Pakistan, with a specific focus on transgender youth, Fox News reported on Tuesday.

The State Department’s human rights report for Pakistan has praised the country’s 2018 Transgender Persons Protection of Rights Act. The report suggests that Pakistani police should prioritise ways to prevent increased levels of violence against transgender people. It notes that public venues in Pakistan were less likely to host “transgender events” than “religiously based anti-LGBTQI+ protests”.

Tribune

Reading that “increasing levels of violence” phrase tends to make me think that while the legislature may have passed a law, the Pakistani “street” ain’t all that woke.  Remember when we didn’t have two and a half billion for a border wall? But apparently 20% of that can be used to help sexually ambiguous Pakis (a far more worthy cause, evidently) learn English.

There are not just after our kids…
They’re after the Paki kids too
Way too many people in Pakistan. Got to get the Trans numbers up and birthrate numbers down.
That’s the way #1, Klaus Schwab, likes it
You think SPECTRE…errr I mean The WEF doesn’t want depopulation?
They’re getting rid of a few hundred Russian & Ukrainians at the same time…
They’re sterilizing the youth generation in America…
They are on their way

I find this very interesting as well as surprising, since that crap is not allowed in muslim countries, no way no how.

??????

From Judicial Watch:

“The project will target Pakistani transgender people between the ages of 18 and 40..”

From The Tribune:

“…for Pakistani transgender youth between the ages of 13-25 and Afghan teachers, students….”

And now this:

Cycling Governing Body Defends Transgender Participation Rules After Uproar”

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/cycling-governing-body-defends-transgender-participation-rules-uproar

“Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body for sports cycling defended Austin Killips after the transgender female cyclist picked up an overall victory in the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico.”

“Killips broke free from the pack in the final minutes of the race. Killips clocked in at 3:07:16 defeating Marcela Prieto and Cassandra Nelson in the stage. Killips became the first transgender female to win a UCI stage race.”

“..UCI came out in defense of its policy.”

“The UCI rules are based on the latest scientific knowledge and have been applied in a consistent manner. The UCI continues to follow the evolution of scientific findings and may change its rules in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.”

Fucking disgraceful.

The science IS there and always has been — these assholes just entertain and live in a disgusting fantasy.

The inmates are running the asylum.

“Scientific knowledge….
I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.”

David:

Thank You for the info on the British Rowing Association!

We shared your information with others to pass on.

A bunch of us are getting sick and tired of this BS.

Such a punchable face.

I wonder what his record was when competing as a male cyclist?

I’ll bet his record was as abysmal as Lia Thompson’s was at swimming, before he started competing in women’s sports.

Teh stoopid is strong with this administration.

Both Paul Stanley (KISS) and Dee Snider (Twisted Sisters) have REAL GONADs.

Good for them despite what happened with Snider. 👏👏👏👏

“SF Pride Drops Dee Snider Performance After He Supported Paul Stanley’s Transphobic Tweet”

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sf-pride-drops-dee-snider-performance-support-paul-stanley-transphobic-tweet-1234729266/

“Dee Snider’s planned performance at San Francisco Pride in June has been called off after the Twisted Sister’s singer voiced his support for Paul Stanley’s transphobic tweet.”

“San Francisco Pride was on the cusp of announcing Twisted Sister’s ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ as the unofficial rallying cry of this year’s SF Pride Parade & Celebration, with the band’s frontman Dee Snider performing the song on our center stage. Dee has always been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights,”…”

“However, when we were notified about the tweet in which Dee expressed support for Kiss’s Paul Stanley’s transphobic statement, we were heartbroken and angry. The message perpetuated by that tweet casts doubt on young trans people’s ability to self-identify their gender.”

“On Sunday, the Kiss guitarist tweeted an unprompted statement calling the expression of gender identity among children “a sad and dangerous fad.”

“There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it,” he wrote…”

“You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too,” Snider tweeted to Stanley. “Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions!”

Snider continued, “Parents need to be less reactionary; Right and Left. No need to steer the child in either direction. Let the kid figure it out for themselves knowing their family is supportive. I had a vet/cop hardass dad who, while he shook his head A LOT…let me do my thing.”

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons will never be canceled. The KISS Army is massed and ready for the culture wars fight. Now where’s my Twisted Sister pledge pin cause I’m not gonna take it anymore.

If we teach them more better English when they sneak in through our Southern Border it will make it easier for them to apply for asylum.

Language-ist? No, that doesn’t work, too hard for our public school scholars to spell.
Kind of the same problem.

Why send money when the solution for Trannies would be death.

Prior to trannies getting their “gender affirming” surgery, Drain-O is both a cost effective alternative to costlier GoLytely bowel prep and has greater results in bowel evacuation.

1- We send money to provide assistance to Pakistani transgendered folks.

2- Closeted transgendered folks come out, assuming they’re now protected by law and US backed programs.

3- Fundamentalist Muslims toss the aforementioned openly transgendered folks off rooftops, according to the will of Allah.

It will happen, and our tax dollars paid for it.
