Gender Equality!! Social Justice!! Climate Reparations!!
The United Nations, beloved by Pres. Barack Obama due to his views of multinationalism, has released its August report on Counter-Terrorism measures, and expresses concerns over the impact such measures have on Gender equality:
A report by U.N. Special Rapporteur Martin Scheinin that is awaiting approval by the United Nations General Assembly says that security measures taken to detect terrorists ”risk unduly penalizing transgender persons whose personal appearance and data are subject to change.”
The report, which was issued August 3, places emphasis on “persons of diverse sexual orientation and gender identities” and recommends that counterterrorism operations be more sensitive to gender issues.
On page 19 the report says: “Enhanced immigration controls that focus attention on male bombers who may be dressing as females to avoid scrutiny make transgender persons susceptible to increased harassment and suspicion.”
Just a few sentences later, Scheinin writes that “counter-terrorism measures that involve increased travel document security, such as stricter procedures for issuing, changing and verifying identity documents, risk unduly penalizing transgender persons whose personal appearance and data are subject to change.”
“This,” he claims, “jeopardizes the right of persons of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities to recognition before the law”
