It doesn’t make sense not to if the purpose of gender marker on identity documents is truly for the purpose of identification. If the person has breasts and wears a dress, but has an M on their document then the field becomes useless.
My preference would be to eliminate the gender/sex field altogether as it has never properly worked for intersex people who sometimes biologically don’t conform. And considering most IDs have pictures these days and how fashion changes over time, like that women in most cultures are now allowed to wear pants, it is outdated anyway without invasive pat downs, strip searches, or x-ray machines to verify genitals. And what use is that really.
Maybe I’m biased because I’m both agender and stuck with all three different markers on various documents due to the prejudices in the US. But it seems like it’s pretty useless anyway, so let’s drop it.
yay! 🏳️⚧️
Good to see some people aren’t fascist lunatics like the Americans
Turkey FUMING right now
AFAIK it is not in the EU. What will be interesting is how badly Hungary will comply.
Yeah, Turkey just gets real vocal anytime any country on earth goes “maybe trans people should be allowed to live”

It is an overreach of any institution, government or otherwise, to deny the humanity of trans people.
This is NOT overreach it is an attempt at mitigating overreach.

standardize documents? not really, and saying that the documents must match the person is just basic expectations of what documents are
I just decided that to standardize our documents you need a death certificate.
Sorry, efficiency and all that.

Normalizing publicly shaming bigots like you is better

Being trans isn’t a mental illness. We’ve existed across every culture and century, long before you had an opinion about it. Lack of empathy, however, actually is clinically recognized as a symptom of certain conditions. But hey, no shame, mental illness shouldn’t be stigmatized either 🤍🩷🩵
What would be a better solution? Lock everyone “different” up?
What did they say?
Lemmy modlogs are public. You can look them up. The comment is visible there. They were banned from this community, instance, and lemmy world, I think. Its hard to tell which instance the mod action is from.
For your convienience I have included a link to their entries in the modlog, in a spoiler tag so it should require two clicks, to avoid anyone seeing hateful content unless they’re really sure.
I hope this isn’t in violation of the rules. Apologies in advance if it is.
It’s nice being on a site where assholes actually get banned :)
You probably can’t repeat it without also getting removed
