Hungary prepares to end legal recognition of trans people

Kick Hungary out of the EU.

As much as I hated to leave the EU, I do have severe reservations over their inability to discipline Hungary and Poland.

"Sure, Orban might be accruing limitless 'emergency' powers and PiS might be more theocratic than the Vatican, but Italy's in danger of running a budget deficit that's too high after a decade of double-digit unemployment, so clearly they're a nation of indolent mandolin-players who can't be trusted with sovereignty."

True.

Still worth pointing out that PiS is fortunately too weak to do as much harm as Orban. At this point they're at a very real risk of losing their slender majority.

The EU was happy to (correctly) sanction Austria twenty years ago due the whole Haider in government thing. Not doing so to post 2004 countries is damning. Why does Austria be warned but 'eastern bloc gonna eastern bloc'; it's elitist. I understand Poland is different but I fear that inaction in Hungary would give the next iteration of PiS (as it always f-ing comes back) an excuse.

Really bad development, but to all people saying they should kick em out:

Why the hell would You punish 14 Mil people because of 1 relatively small group, compared to the total?

Support others, help change, but punishing every single Hungarian would be despicable.
