I should have had an INB4 for that one guy, not a Cypriot. But honestly the Cypriot men on here who appear out of nowhere to tell me I'm not Cypriot are a clear pattern... that one guy was more of a freakish bro.

Yeah that was a pretty bad case of "If I don't understand then it's not real-itis" What's with the Cypriot dudes? Is it a "no true Scotsman" thing or more like the "fake gamer girl" thing? Just seems like a weird thing for anons to get aggressive over

Toxic masculinity. I think they had no idea people could be born in Cyprus to a Cypriot mother and not be legally Cypriot. And their male privilege didn't allow them to listen to my story (which actually isn't that rare)!

Yeah, that'll do it
How'd that happen, if you're not tired of explaining? (I had a look if you'd told anyone recently but no dice, the Cyprus pics are beautiful though! I'm especially a sucker for ancient ruins )1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

It's actually conceptually simple: Cypriot citizenship (and more) were only available patrilinealy.

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @o_guest @Greekfur and 2 othersRead about that law change on page 396: "This last ‘bastion’ was formally abolished with an amendment of the citizenship law in 1999 (No. 65/99), which introduced entitlement to citizenship for descendants of a Cypriot mother and a non-Cypriot father"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Yikes! That's a pretty terrible law to have on the books until 19 years ago :/ So if someone was born with no proof of who their father was were they just... stateless? Also, explaining female-specific citizenship issues to you has gotta be a contender for peak mansplaining XD

Haha, yeah. So Cyprus is incredibly corrupt and works under a full patron system and single mothers are incredibly incredibly rare let alone babies without a dad.

Ahh, I guess it makes sense in a "it doesn't happen here so it's not an issue" sorta way. But hey, at least you're legally sorted out now! I can't imagine not having the right to go to my home country because of something nonsensical like that :/
