When I was ill in Germany I had no choice but to fill out a form that was specifically designed to ask me whether I was having sex with my roommate. There was a substantially large open field for answering why I was not having sex with them. I mean... What should you even fill in there? What a strange question and what could the purpose possibly be. Also the insinuation that sex means you're in a relationship... That's kinda sick in some way. I mean why don't they just ask whether you're partners or not. Sometimes I wonder if anybody in Germany realizes what the fuck is written in the constitution. Like oh if you're ill or lgbtq the rules don't apply. But any way do you have some more info on that process maybe? permalink fedilink source parent
