Fragile, Handle With Care! / Discussion about Hungary losing its freedoms (English version)

In this year’s parliamentary elections, Viktor Orbán has become the Prime Minister of Hungary for the fourth time in a row. The April elections thus confirmed the course the country has been following for the past few years, to the dismay of not only the liberal part of Hungarian society. Orbán's conservative government has been consistently restricting the rights of LGBT+ people and women, bending democratic principles and undermining the freedom of the media. We spoke to scholar Dorottya Rédai, whose field of interest – gender studies – has been banned from Hungarian universities since 2018, about how (un)free contemporary Hungary really is.

She is a liar, Hungarian language doesn't recognize gender at all. Therefore the social construct as gender doesn't exist in Hungary. Hungarian language doesn't distinguish between biological woman or man in any way. Therefore gender can't be included in curriculum only biological sex. As an example if a gender fluid would like to have their own pronouns in Hungary they choose an English one, which by the way can not be translated to Hungarian.
Sexual education is up to the parents, as granted by the EU Charter section 14. section 3.
