Here's your handy guide for how to fill in the GRA consultation '....'to make life a bit easier for transpeople' Hmm and it's written by a 'non-binary' writer. And the first line of the article is about how one in every two transpeople have tried to kill themselves

I'm not even surprised any more, I'm just sick and tired of this shit

I read the youthfulness thing this morning and nearly exploded. She wanted to be a young woman, really? Most women have gone through being young women, and it ain't all that...

I LOVE being nearly 37. I am old enough to have gained some wisdom from my youth, while knowing I've a lot more to learn. I'm old enough to have had peers die, and be grateful I'm still alive. And I'm old enough to give very few fucks about what anyone else thinks, which is a blessed relief from when I was a young woman.

I think there's a lot of non-binary married /civilly partnered people on this very site!

I really, really want to know why the writer things he/she/they/ze (haven't read the article, have no idea what pronouns the writer likes to specify) can't get married. Has the writer actually tried?

Except for the GRC to be fair....

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 12/10/2018 13:18

I can’t get a GRC, or get married, or be protected from discrimination

What a load of shit...honestly, just bollocks

There's no point trying to comment on their articles. The only comments that go uncensored are the woke ones.

I have unfollowed and my blood pressure is a lot better for it.

Oh Juno Dawson is so awful. Yes dear, 37 is positively ancient. Admitting to it makes you even more brave and stunning Hmm

This is the displayed pull quote on that article:

If you are non-binary, like me, then none of the above matters anyway, because being non-binary is currently not legally recognised. I can’t get a GRC, or get married, or be protected from discrimination, or any of the other technically tedious things that having the government legally recognise my gender would give me

What the fuck is gender anyway? Why do you care if you are “non binary”? Just do what you like and tick the ‘sex’ option you were born with. No ones stopping you getting married and you don’t NEED a bloody GRC.

Critical thinking.

Ugh.

Can I also add this lovely article about youthfulness? I hate The Pool. It’s cult if personality over any form of critical thinking.
