Why is it incumbent upon me to explain why you have a problem?
Why is it that you always seem so hostile? I don't have a problem other than not understanding what yours is?
Perhaps you should explain how you see sex and gender as the same when they are clearly different.
In the context of this decision, if a "man" starts presenting stereotypically as a woman might because they feel they have the gender of the opposite sex and gets fired for it, wouldn’t the basis for that be due to their SEX not being female?
Nevertheless, since you seem intent on making this your line in the sand, consider this.
In many jurisdictions, including the U.K., and far too many liberal/"progressive" US states, a man who intends to have no surgery and take no hormones may now secure himself a Gender Recognition Certificate (or equivalent in the US), and be a woman in the sight of the law.
Okay, so now the truth comes out as if it wasn’t already clear. You just hate transgender people that don’t pass your muster and blame the problem of their existence on “liberal/progressives”. It’s hard to tell which you find most detestable – tranners or libtards? I can go to Mumsnet, 4thwavenow, peaktrans, transgendertrend or any gender critical (TERF) or conservative fundamentalist site if I want to read this paranoid bullshit.
I’m no transgender apologist and have been called a tribalistic elitist and a separatist myself but you take the cake when it comes to those that don’t live up to your standards or meet your criteria. Obviously, you don’t want your little rarefied fiefdom invaded by those you don’t consider “real deal” transsexuals” because you’re so much better than them. This superiority is exactly how you come across. It’s unbecoming.
Consider: I
have taken hormones for over 48 years, have lived and worked exclusively as a female since I was 18 and have had major surgeries and other procedures to make my body as outwardly physically female as much as medically possible but the state I was born in still considers me to be male based on the conditions of my birth and nothing I have done or my experience in life will make them reconsider my legal status. Should I have to reveal to an employer that my birth certificate lists me as male, do you think it would be fair for someone like me to be fired or not hired because of it? Isn’t it clear that whether that’s a matter of sex
or gender, it’s still discriminatory?
Face it sweetie, all of us are of the male sex and you’re no better than the rest of us but it certainly seems you would like us all to believe somehow you are? Your thinly disguised contempt and sarcasm for those outside your vision of what real womanhood is or those that don’t live up to your expectations is plainly evident in practically everything you post and it’s pretty tiring.
Consider: If I was to get all uppity, exclusionary and go full truscum transbaby, what if I was to say that those not outwardly expressing cross-gender identification as children that didn’t transition as teenagers aren’t good enough or like me, you yourself would fall outside of
my criteria and I doubt you would like that very much? Every single one of you has been and lived as a man and I have not but if I didn’t have a modicum of respect and understanding that you seem to be lacking for those with different experiences, I’d probably be as unhappy and angry as you are?
Consider: Ireland, Malta, Norway, Argentina, Portugal, India and Belgium already allow change of legal gender by statutory declaration.
If it matters, I’m not in favor of ‘self-ID” based on say so without a medical diagnosis or mental health screening which in itself is pretty worthless because they more or less can be bought but at least it provides a minimal filter to wade out the crazies and trenders that you seem to despise so much.
