You didn't cite anything for your statement about trans people being housed with their AGAB in prisons, and acted as if it was an obvious thing why they should be. I asked why. I'm really not being unreasonable here, but if you think I am then you're welcome to stop replying.
I will not be tone policed by someone who spreads harmful statements about trans people.
I am disputing things you are saying because they are harmful. If you don't believe them, then don't say them.
Trans people should not be forced to go into a prison with people of a different gender than them just because they had the misfortune to be born with genitals that didn't align with society's expectations of their gender. Genitals they may not even have anymore.
To insist that trans women should be housed with men is inherently transphobic. What benefit do you get out of sex-based segregation? All it does is put trans people in danger.
Why do my genitals matter which metal box I get put into if I get arrested? Or are you going to parrot the "trans women are rapists" talking point the far-right is pushing?
A passport with a gender marker that doesn't match someone's presentation is going to cause them far more trouble, because it outs the person as trans and that may be a reason for someone to treat them with prejudice.
Then why do we allow people to change this official information later in life when they change their name, or to add/remove parents?
Ah, so you are just going to recite gender critical (transphobic) rhetoric. There's nothing more for me to say to you.
Abolish all sex and gender markers on documents.
I'm sure the EMTs at the scene of the accident are more worried about my head trauma than my genitals. If that becomes relevant later, I'm sure they can look with their own eyes.
However, because all other records take information from your birth certificate, this effectively bars trans people from having photo identification that aligns with their gender. This creates a safety issue for trans people every time they have to provide said photo identification.
Your birth certificate also records the name your parents gave you at birth, but we've allowed people to amend the document when they change their name for a long time. Why is this any different?
The terms sex and gender were used interchangeably by many for a very long time due to cisnormativity, because for most people their sex and gender matched. It's only due to the recent rise of awareness in trans issues that people have begun to use them to refer to separate specific concepts in general use.
Having your sex on your photo ID doesn't make any sense. The way that this information is used most of the time is to communicate to others what kind of a person they should be looking for. If I told you to look for a "female" person with specific attributes, you wouldn't go and pick a trans man out of the crowd.
Cis people don't have to think about any of this, of course, because they've never been confronted by the challenges that arise from having documentation that outs them in public. When a trans person shows ID that doesn't match their gender identity to someone in a position of power, it puts them at risk for mistreatment. Changing gender markers — or "sex" markers as you insist upon — on documents is a safety issue for trans people, and has the bonus effect of being affirming.
The only people who need to know your sex and see your ID are healthcare professionals, and even then, knowing what configuration someone's genitals had at birth does very little to help them know your current medical status and history. That's why they have long forms that you have to fill out when you start seeing a new healthcare provider, and why healthcare institutions share medical history records.
Blue Jays are the eastern type of jay, as seen on the Toronto sports team's paraphernalia. Stellar's jays are only west of the Rockies, I believe. Many people colloquially call them blue jays, though.
People procrastinate, but I'm pretty sure that most people don't sit in a cloud of anxiety, unable to do any work but also unable to do something fun, for six hours while staring at the wall unable to do anything. I'm pretty sure that when most people want to work, they just do so. I think that screaming at yourself to work but being unable to start is like, some kind of disorder... 🤔
