I’m living in Canada but I just wondered if we have anyone from Türkiye?
If so, how is life there? I know economy and everything got worse but I just wondered if there is hope for Erdoğan-free Türkiye with EU membership?
I moved to Canada at age 18, and I realized I’m trans here (fuck me sideways for not doing any research until moving to Canada like I could do something at age 15…) and I started HRT at age 18,5. I’m 22 now, and I don’t really see a future in Canada for myself.
Rents are crazy, no jobs anywhere, here is not really accepting imo anyways like not dystopia, and FFS costs 124k CAD like what the fuck?! I would rather get it in Türkiye.
I barely passed B2 English in Türkiye, and English is harder than I expected. I got accepted to a college but it was hard asf and I left. Education is really overrated like it’s not better than Türkiye imo. Everyone is so cold and fake here. I wish I figured out everything earlier but idk which option would be best for me.
I’m feeling hopeless and down…
I don’t think Erdogan is going for a 4th term tbh, but we will probably get another islamist far-righter. AKP is also trying very hard to make GAC only available for people over 25, and Climen production suspiciously stopped like a few months ago.
This wasn’t the country that Atatürk left us…
Disgusting…
CHP was about to win though if they didn’t arrest mayors, so with “yeni parti” is there still a hope?
The only party that is actively aggressively campaigning for trans rights is DEM right now lmao. CHP has up to this point been completely quiet on trans issues (except for 1 MP I forgot the name of, who is also seen as a “terror sympathizer” by the public), and YENİ just recently published the statement that “Nobody will face discrimination for their sexual orientation/gender identity”, which is kinda the bare minimum ngl.
If YENİ comes to power, I’d guess at most we will get rid of the 21 year old age limit Erdogan put. We definitely aren’t getting the WPATH SoC though, especially with some “opposition” parties like İYİ who are conservative anti-LGBTQ Kemalists that broke off from a literal neofascist party, and who will surely side against us when push comes to shove.
Well, I hope Kilicdaroglu fucking drops out already so at the very least we can have that.
Well, until 2025, they allowed age 16 to start HRT with family consent.
They intentionally avoid talking about LGBT to attract more votes.
I’m sure they will give us our rights once they win.
If Erdoğan loses, they will join the EU as they’re looking for expansion, and they need Türkiye more than anything else.
They even think about accepting Türkiye into the EU with Erdoğan so idk.
