Serious answers only please.
*With acknowledgement to Bowl, who has raised this so often. Apologies if this is repeating a thread from the past (?): in any case, maybe it's time for another thread with this title.

Please, no wordy arguments about how sex can be changed by legal instrument around the world, just answer the question posed.

There is however a legal mechanism allowing some people to be treated as though they have changed sex.

Animals that can change sex remain fertile when they do so. Humans cannot change sex.

No, and it's the height of cruelty to tell children that they can.

egginacup · 15/06/2018 20:58

Yes! I consider myself a feminist and I do have sympathy for some of the arguments surrounding trans people in women only spaces etc. But I’m getting sick of seeing this argument and now considering hiding the feminist board. Yes people can legitimately change sex. And yes they have the right to be known as the pronoun they choose.
