[ABANDONED] Repeal General Assembly Resolution #457

[Ankura]

Name of the resolution ("Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities") didn't fit in the subject bar.

GA Resolution #457 "Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities" shall be repealed.

The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING people of minority genders and/or sexualities should be protected by the WA.

WORRIED that the right to change gender at will could be abused to get past certain diversity quotas set by certain nations and organizations and also could be used to abuse equality laws.

Also NOTING identifying as a specific gender or sexuality that is considered "minority" could be used to get around legal restrictions on civil and political rights of certain individuals or groups.

REMEMBERING World Assembly hasn't done anything about further restrictions on civil and political rights.

CONCLUDING a more extensive resolution is needed and the said resolution is nothing less than an economic burden and also a very abuse-prone one.

Hereby,
REPEALS GA Resolution #457 "Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities"

[Marxist Germany]

"Full support."

[Kenmoria]

“Your only major complaint is that this ruins diversity quotas and affirmative action. For a start, I doubt that such actions would be necessary given the ban on discrimination in GA #035, which would seem to remove most of the need for these practices. Furthermore, there is an easy way for nations to avoid this problem: don’t use quotas. Hiring people based on ability is far superior.”

[Maowi]

"Full support."

'You have very low standards for what constitutes a good proposal, ambassador...'

WORRIED that the right to change gender at will could be abused to get past certain diversity quotas set by certain nations and organizations and also could be used to abuse equality laws.

OOC: First of all it is extremely rare for a person to change their official gender just in order to 'get past' a quota. So rare that it's almost insulting to transgender people that you bring up the problem. It's like saying marriage should be banned because a tiny minority of people might otherwise get married to strangers just for the tax benefits. And even if you do consider it a problem, GAR 457 does nothing to stop your nation setting a procedure for change of gender which is more inconvenient than dealing with the quota.

'Your second point doesn't make sense, ambassador. Don't equality laws consider everyone... equal? Almost like it wouldn't matter what gender you were?

Also NOTING identifying as a specific gender or sexuality that is considered "minority" could be used to get around legal restrictions on civil and political rights of certain individuals or groups.

'Nowhere in the resolution does the text mention "minorities". And anyway, the resolution abolishes 'legal restrictions on civil and political rights' of any gender or sexuality group. Your point simply does not hold water.

REMEMBERING World Assembly hasn't done anything about further restrictions on civil and political rights.

'To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what this clause means or how it is relevant to GAR 457. Looks like a filler clause to me, ambassador.

'I'm afraid your proposal does not make a single true, relevant point.'

[Marxist Germany]

"Full support."

'You have very low standards for what constitutes a good proposal, ambassador...'

"The target resolution is ought to be repealed at all costs."

[Sierra Lyricalia]

WORRIED that the right to change gender at will could be abused to get past certain diversity quotas set by certain nations and organizations and also could be used to abuse equality laws.

"Ambassador, if you can name a single time this has happened outside of a shitty movie, or when the culprit wasn't a criminal with outstanding charges, I will not only vote for this but I will personally wash your car for you. This simply isn't a thing."

Also NOTING identifying as a specific gender or sexuality that is considered "minority" could be used to get around legal restrictions on civil and political rights of certain individuals or groups.

"What sort of restrictions are you talking about? They sound like the kind of thing the WA already outlawed ages ago."

[Ankura]

"Full support."

I must quote you your own legislation, ambassador.

MANDATES that all member nations must allow each of their citizens to choose or change their own gender, and that member nations must officially recognise and accept the individual's chosen gender.

Changing official gender at will calls for abuse.

You and your friends are also doing a "Texas sharpshooter" fallacy, ambassador. My conclusion properly cited a more extensive resolution is needed since WA resolutions can't be changed. You're creating excuses to keep your resolution simply because of your political beliefs.

(OOC: There isn’t much potential for abuse that can’t be easily prevented by member nations that want to do so. I somebody changes his gender to female, then there is nothing stopping a government from basing affirmative action on biological sex.)

'At will does not mean instantly, ambassador. Also, you have yet to demonstrate the abuse you presume to happen.'

OOC:
This argumentation is among the most absurd I have ever read.

In case it hasn't been said enough times, this does not happen. It just doesn't. People don't go through massive, fundamental shifts in their identity and expression simply to edge in on minority benefits. There is no debate on this subject; it literally does not happen. The only people who change their legal gender frivolously, are transphobes, who are explicitly out to cause problems. It does not happen in practical reality.

Stop. For the love of god, stop.

Very well. After massive criticism, I will scratch this one and write another draft.

"The delegation from Marxist Germany will be so disappointed. Best send them conciliatory flowers. And a note: "Sorry you still have to treat transgender people like people.""

No we don't and we will show you that.

(OOC: In that case, you ought to change the tag from [DRAFT] to [ABANDONED].)

OOC: Good call! There are plenty of possibilities for resolution writing that don't involve the repeal of a resolution whose only serious counterarguments are blind NatSov and bigotry. If you have trouble coming up with ideas, maybe try one of these?

Au contraire, it remains a deeply flawed and discriminatory piece of legislation that continues to violate the principles of GAR#035, and to which no nation can comply in conjunction with GAR#035, unless applying the most perverse available interpretation of 'compelling practical purposes' as justification.
