A Peter-Meter Test for "Gays" seeking assylum from Islamic countries
Topics: Political News and commentaries
After you think about it, given that "I'm gay" is treated as high-preference statement for those seeking Visas to Europe from Islamic countries, it becomes the sort of thing that anyone's going to say, whether gay or not" a Peter-Meter Test makes a lot of sense.
If you think a TSA grope is bad, gay men seeking asylum in the Czech Republic are forced to drop their pants and get hooked up to a penile plethysmograph to find out just how gay they are. After the "peter meter" device is attached to their penises, they are subjected to all kinds of pornography to see what happens to their junk. This test then determines if they can seek asylum.Actually, this isn't anything new. The test measures penile tumescence in response to laboratory stimuli and the results are generally used to diagnose, evaluate, and treat sexual deviance:The European Union's main human rights agency, the Fundamental Rights Agency, denounced the procedure. BBC reports, "The case first came to light after a German court refused to deport an Iranian asylum seeker to the Czech Republic, saying as a homosexual he would be subjected to the test." Apparently, your religious views about viewing pornography are ignored. And it's OK, sez Czech officials, because they only do it to asylum seekers who identify as gay.
[...] Penile plethysmography is a test utilized to make subjective determinations about an individual's psychological condition with regard to certain sexual disorders and deviant behavior in the male. The objective function of the test is to measure physical sexual arousal. This is based on small, nearly undetectable to the subject, increases in blood flow. In that sense, the test assumes that there exists a natural operational relationship between specific stimuli, penile response, and specific overt sexual acts.Controversial, perhaps. But the Czech's use of the plethysmograph makes a lot of sense, indeed. Either let Islamists into the country through a phony claim of being a homosexual, or force the claimant to drop his pants and get hooked up to a penile plethysmograph to find out if they are what they claim to be.
Which leaves us with the take-home question of: How do they test for lesbians?
