I don't want to link to the article (DM) or write this person's name as I'm sure they're keeping an eye everywhere.

Basically there's a case reported in the U.K. family courts with someone who kept male genitalia and had surgery to create a "fully functioning" cavity. Person wants to legally be recognised as non binary because they feel a bit male and a bit female.

I'd like to know if this person can define what "woman feelings" are and how they're different from "man feelings". I'd also like to be reassured that this person isn't bringing a transphobic case by reducing identity to genitals.

And I'd like to know why this even ended up in court in the first place. If I feel a little bit cat-like and get one surgically altered to be like a fully functioning cat ear, or get my fingers amputated on one hand to make it like a "fully functioning" paw, can I be legally recognised by my new semi-feline gender?

Did that other woman try and fail a couple of years ago to get her on binary identity recognised via the high court and European court of human rights? Shaved head.

Surgery doesn't really seem relevant - it's someone who wants non-binary adopted as an official category alongside male and female.

I think it's relevant here in the way that getting your cock and balls amputated and a cavity created is seen as the ultimate step in "becoming a woman". This person has taken the ultimate step in "being" both male and female by having both genitalia - well having one and a representation of the other.

Hole: ‘A hollow space in a solid body or surface’.

And a great name for a band.

This is one of those ‘cases’ that will cause heat AND light. Bring it on.

Without removing male genitalia...

Their crowd funder states:

The UK government claims that, by law, a person's legal sex must be either male or female. This is not supported by biology nor the lived experiences of non-binary people

I wonder what other sexes there are if biology doesn’t support that you must be either male or female?

Apparently this individual was offered the option of “not specified” rather than “non binary” on the GRC, but seemingly that’s not enough.

Maybe this might just tip the GRA over the edge and the whole thing can be done away with.

I can't believe a surgeon would commit this atrocity. Creating a wound that will probably need regular dilation with the possibility of infections/sepsis.

What does it take for a ‘hole’ to be ‘fully functioning’? And how does a hole designate ‘femaleness’?

I wonder why it's in the Family Court. And if the reporting restrictions on Family Court cases hadn't been changed recently, would this case have happened under the radar?

A fully functioning hole? Hmmm.

'It is striking and profoundly upsetting that I do not know how my gender would be recorded on my death certificate.'

Fortunately your ability to be ‘profoundly upset’ will immediately cease the moment it needs to be issued.

So the ‘woman’ bit is a ‘fuckable hole’.

And they say that that movement is not based on misogyny. All those supporting the prioritisation of gender above sex - can you see it yet? Can you see the end goals of what you are supporting yet?

Freddiefan · 01/04/2023 07:56

I hope that the NHS didn't fund this.

Fully functioning Hmm

IncompleteSenten · 01/04/2023 07:53

Good lord. Why is this bullshit being indulged?

What a waste of time, money and resources to stroke a person's ego.
