I do not know the whole story of this case but I cannot help but think the lawyers who convinced these people to take it all the way to the top were naive and dumb. Don't pick fights you cannot win when they can create horrific legal precedence in a legal system where that matters!

Not a happy path to go down, IMO.

I'm sorry but these people were fools to take this to the supreme court. I pray they rule in favor of them but I cannot help bit think that is exceeding unlikely.

It does not matter what groups she was or wasn't a part of. Still an extrajudicial killing.

You can condemn the Confederacy for a million things, but warfare per se... not really. It's not considered mass murder generally.
Nazi commanders were not condemned for warfare per se generally.

Interesting. You're getting close. Tell me, did provinces exist before 1812?

At any case, you started this. I was poking fun at the OP—who might I add, I admire—with someone else, that's it. You turned up and turned it into a fight. So have a nice day.

You can chose to believe whatever you want. They absolutely do have a right to self-determination. What I'm simply saying is they are French, they are legally just another department of France like any other department of France is.

España no tenía colonias si la definición de colonias es la anglosajona. Cada país latinoamericano era España como cualquier otra parte parte de España.
EE.UU. tiene, y Reina Unido tiene colonias. Puerto Rico no es simplemente otro estado, es, legalmente, una entidad inferior.

Puerto Rico was likewise Spain. It was then a US colony. It was however before legally Spain. Not a colony. But Spain proper.

French Guiana is France. It is not ethnically. It is legally France. Its citizens are French. It is a department of France.

Also, Reply Guy, you are clearly American, post almost exclusively about the US. I was not talking to people like you frankly.

And what she said was "Incredible that a Spanish language album... was the most streamed album on Spotify.'
It isn't. Spanish is the second most spoken language on earth. It is not remarkable in the least. It is, in fact, expected.

Spain is not a colonial power in 2025. And in its history it did in fact never actually have colonies. It's territories in the Americans and elsewhere were Spain, in the same way French Guayana IS France, is the EU.

The origin of the language irrelevant? The fifth largest Spanish-speaking country (which counts the US btw) as irrelevant? You must know something I don't. Enlighten us.

I follow the OP cos she's trans and an activist and whatnot, but right? It's something only a person raised in a Hispanic family surrounded by the Anglo world would say. A Spaniard or Mexican or Peruvian wouldn't say that or be surprised.

Cos it's hollow virtue signaling. Talk is cheap. Pronouns are cheap. Not once was there a discussion really about bettering, say, the actual drugs doctors can practice be us. Surgical techniques, whatever. No, cos that's hard. That's expensive. That involves work with no social payoff.

Oh it was cringy. But these people suck 1000 times more than annoying cis people who feel the need to wear pronoun badges.

In a more sane (if transphobic) system even were the cert sealed, the state could still see it if they had a legitimate interest in doing so.

But Americans (sorry) are so goddamn insular that they don't realize just how odd their federal system is.
Like don't get me wrong, screw Trump for the passport policy. But the fact that it is on the individual to be able to prove their AGAB is insane.

Okay so the US absolutely is violating international law by not issuing her passport as it is your right under international law to leave your country.
BUT is US federal system is stupidly decentralized in that they can't just get your birth cert as these things are state competencies.

That's absolutely outragous. Provided you aren't like wanted for a crime, it's you're right under international law to leave your country.

What shocks me is that her deadname isn't even her legal name in any world. Okay maybe the Federal Government is shitty and doesn't let you change your gender. Fine. But her name presumably was legally changed. That old name, whatever it was, simply is not her name.
