Today in transphobia (Part 1)

Absolutely. There is a difference between the utility of the document and the value of affirmation.

I was pretty happy when I finally got around to amending my birth certificate! Which is one doc I doubt will have the gender marker removed from. But I really don’t need it on my driver’s license or social security records.

Though I understand that in the UK there are different ages to be eligible to collect retirement benefits? Then it would matter.

First thing I got changed was a store card, just to see my name.
My passport is the last document I have to update, but I recently received the official letter for it that says I’m “stable” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Pensions are indeed given at different ages in the UK, it would indeed matter then.

I haven’t read their Opinion pieces in years - and her comments on Twitter are whiney privileged bullshit.
Evidently I didn’t miss anything. Disappointing.

Broke into the ambulance to shoot her.

I was hoping we might get a break from this as we’re all supposed to be pulling together and all.

5G is powerful shit, folks! It causes COVID-19 and makes kids trans!

(I was being sarcastic, if people couldn’t guess. Of course it fucking doesn’t.)

Only kids? That’s unfortunate; I’d like to share that awesomeness with everyone!
