Male blood donor turned away from clinic for refusing to say if he's pregnant
‘It is nonsensical and it makes me angry because there are vulnerable people waiting for blood.'

The article is deeply misleading in implying that believing that mammals have two sexes somehow implies that unnecessary surgery should be performed on those whose sex organs don't fit one of the two 'typical' appearances.Or the article rather than twatter so you can, you know, read about it:

How Medicine's Fixation on the Sex Binary Harms Intersex People
“Normalizing” infants’ and children’s genital appearance to match a sex assigned in early age isn’t medically necessary and can negatively impact quality of lifewww.scientificamerican.com
Mermaids is a fucking scary bunch of weirdos.
Is it because they're black?
Transphobe and racist! *tut tut*

I don’t agree with you politically on much but on this yes. Opting in to the rights of others makes laws meaningless.
Man: *tortures and kills dogs*
State: *attempts to prosecute for animal cruelty*
Man: Actually, I identify as a lion and we don’t prosecute lions for animal cruelty
State: ok, this checks out
Yep - Self ID seems a fantastic way to open up all sorts of cans of worms, from men in women's prisons, changing rooms and stuff like this.
It's also fairly noticeable that most of the issues seem to come from men wanting to be women, and trampling all over women's rights - again. That's why I usually leave the Self ID argument to women (or TERFs apparently) as it's then who are most affected. Even then there's a point where we'll all have to go "Isn't this a bit silly?".
I feel we're close to that point.

Anger as trans inmates revert to males when they leave Scottish prisons
Concern after new research suggested that men who changed their gender to female in jail are switching back to their birth gender after release.www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk
Yeah, I struggle to give a shit about what happens to criminals. It's a problem with an easy solution, of course, but whatever.
What those 12 people definitely do is make it impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to put what they want on their passport.![]()
Yep. I don't mind that argument either. Because the answer is "so what?"Let's be clear here, the prevailing argument on Freddyshouse isn't 'omg think of the women' it's 'omg I don't think trans is a thing, people are just making it up!!!'

You don't want to go to prison - you're forcibly deposited there.It shouldn't be 1. Are actual women, even ones who've committed crimes, there to pander to other people's hangups? If you insist on retaining a cock and balls and want to serve in a women's prison, go into isolation.
Cock and Balls owners go to cock and balls prison. Happy now? Problem solved.You don't want to go to prison - you're forcibly deposited there.
It's our problem to solve - not theirs. And I could bring up the obvious quote about telling the level of civilisation in a society by how it treats it's prisoners.
Or trans prison? Or don't segregate prisoners - boys n girls do better together?Cock and Balls owners go to cock and balls prison. Happy now? Problem solved.

It'd cut down on the boy-boy bumming between otherwise heterosexual males.
Some might say the deprivation of liberty is cruel enough...

Define "prison" - there's all sorts of categories.So you're going to build a prison for 12 people? Good luck with that. Or put the women in with the rapists where they can't leave. Well done.
