The right to change personal information on a document issued by the government

Wow that's a really interesting ruling and the correct one I would say. So why has sex been treated differently? The exact same criteria about reflecting accurate records applies there too.

He was in his 60s. No benefit to him really. But the interviews were interesting in particular with who else was there and how they had to try and convince people how ot wasn't wasn't same thing.

I remember tv giving air time too , to that women who had been taking is it melatonin? Stuff to make her skin darker , her husband/boy friend had been taking it too. She was attempting to talk all stereotypically but was dreadful and u couldn't understand a word she said she liked reggae and Jamaican food or something cant believe tv humoured it tbh

Pension schemes would be fucked if we're allowed to self-id to whatever age suits us. For starters.

What is the feminism angle on this?

That there is (of course) no right to change information recorded on a government document. Except if you want to change your accurately recrded sex on your birth certificate.

We went ahead and legislated that everyone should be legally forced to pretend something we all know not to be true, and that non-compliance would be punishable."

It could not be any more Orwellian. Scary times.

What were the dates? Would they make him younger ie a minor? What’s the benefit.

There was also that Dutch bloke ( think he was Dutch haply to be corrected) who wanted his age changed to reflect the fact a dr said he had the body of a man 20 years younger. The interview with him and someone else I better not name was interesting to say the least. Needless to say his request was refused on the basis of- who did his mum give birth too and parents raised if not him?

An entire law was created to change the definition of sex so that people could have the opposite sex, a demonstrable lie, on their birth certificates.

The equivalent in this case would be to create a law that redefines time, so that people can rewrite historical fact the way biological fact has been rewritten.

It never stops being terrifying that it was allowed to legally rewrite the meaning of what it is to be male and female. I will never stop feeling horrified by this. We have a law that lies not just about the sex of 5000 people, but about the sex of every human being. The law forces a denial of sex, and engineers the state of being male or female into a matter of psychology alone.

We passed a law that denies observable, known material reality and replaced it with pure fiction. And we've spent every moment since putting in place forced measures to try to maintain the fiction's supremacy over the material reality which simply cannot be ignored.

That is really interesting, particularly for self id.

That's really interesting. So from what I have read the line is that the person wants a date of birth that can't be true. And we mustn't falsify records.

Except sex, it doesn't matter if that is accurate.
