Losing myself over this (these maps are ~10 years old, so maybe things changed, tho.) I didn't find the Estonian version :(

yeah, maybe you have an embarrassing story, but at least you didn't go to your boyfriend's house when you were 16 and hear about his uncle's annual trip biking from Washington to Alaska and loudly proclaim in front of his entire family, "You can't bike to Alaska. Alaska is an island!" and sustain that argument with your full chest against him, his mom, and his sister for a full family dinner until someone finally showed you a picture of the world map where Alaska is, in fact, attached to Canada and always has been...

#in my defense they always gave us the US maps in school where alaska was down in a little corner next to hawaii #so it seemed like an island #also I am terrible at geography to this day #I just recently learned that Australia is as big as the US #and also that spain and latvia are not close to each other #I am sorry - it is my weakest point of knowledge #but yeah. hope this helps #embarrassing story ig #text post #ratty tat tat

-13 latvias

so i took the "idea" that 13 latvias came from and "fixed it" (i assume the op was in on the joke but who knows). the area circled on this map holds approximately half of the world's population (as of 2022). the rest holds the other half! thank u for indulging me

Trans Rights in Europe: An East/West Divide

Euronews reports on the state of transgender policies in various European countries. Iceland is now the most trans supportive nation in this part of the world.

As you will see from the Trans Rights Map, support for transgender people in general follows an west/east divide, where countries in the west are more likely to be positive while former East Block countries are not.

That being said, the UK, Ireland, Portugal and the Netherlands are still not doing enough, and Italy remains trans-restrictive.

In the former Eastern Block , however, Estonia and Montenegro among the progressives. Moldova and Slovenia aren't doing too bad, either, although there is much room for improvement.

According to this ranking Russia, Turkey, Azerbajan, Kazhakstan. Rumania, Latvia and Lithuania are the worst.

According to Euronews countries praised for their development of trans rights were Spain, Moldova, Andorra, Finland and Iceland. This year, Iceland managed to overtake Malta to be listed at the top of the ranking.

Nadya Yurinova from TGEU tells Euronews:

“Ideally, all countries should start with legal gender recognition and access to trans-specific healthcare for all, especially for further marginalised groups at the intersections with refugees, BIPOC, asylum seekers and disabled people communities. We also call for trans-informed journalism and public awareness about trans lives; the discrimination and violence trans people face on a daily basis.”

For more information on how the scores are calculated, go to TGEU.

Legal recognition of transgender people

TGEU sums up the legal recognition side of transgender acceptance in this way:

41 of 54 countries in Europe and Central Asia have legal or administrative measures in place that make legal gender recognition available to trans people. One country in Central Asia (Kazakhstan) currently provides legal gender recognition.

Of the 41 countries offering legal gender recognition:

38 are members of the Council of Europe; 25 are EU Member States.

28 require a mental health diagnosis.

11 demand sterility.

19 still require divorce.

16 have LGR procedures for minors . Of these, 8 enable minors to access legal gender recognition without any age limit; 8 have a minimum age requirement.

11 countries base legal gender recognition procedures on self-determination of the person.

2 countries provide full, and 2 provide partial, legal recognition to non-binary people.
