URGENT:

people in Germany need your help. Our government is seriously considering to create a list of people who changed their name/gender under the recent self-identification law. This is obviously a terrible idea, especially considering the increasing popularity of the far-right party. The petition linked below would at least force the government to discuss this issue and reconsider... if we managed to reach 30.000 signatures within the next eleven days.

I recently learned that apparently living in Germany is not required to sign, so I kindly ask you to help us (and ideally share this petition with your peers). To make the process easier for you, I took screenshots of the website and translated everything. If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to reach out to me!

epetitionen.bundestag.de/petit

The first screenshot, showing the main page. Click on the "petition mitzeichnen" (sign petition) button. The next page. Click on the small arrow and choose "ich bin neu hier" (I'm new here). Page number three. You can ignore the first two text fields. Type your given name into the third one, your family name to the fourth one. Ignore field number five. On the same page, text fields six to nine need to be filled out. Add your street and house number, then your post code, your city, and the country you live in. Ignore the two text boxes after that and click on the "jetzt registrieren" (register now) button.

Just to note - this puts more people in danger than anyone may realize. Trans people are not the only people who change their names. Women do too often because of unsafe home situations. Teens/young adulds may do it to escape their birth places and keep away harmful people (many LGBTQAI+ youth do this regardless or gender).

This puts any vunerable person who has changed their name in danger of being discovered by those who want to harm them.

First they come for us, then you.
