But, I do take issue with the idea 'that I never felt like a boy or a girl'

But was your mother in a whirl ?

Well that’s simple really: money, time and difficulty. Not only is it costly and time-consuming, but as I am non-binary and use the title ‘Mx’, updating my legal documents is harder than for binary trans+ people

Dee’s a bullshitter. It’s free to change your name on your driver’s licence and you can use Mx. You just fill in a form and supply supporting documents.

Sorry I lost the will to live 3 lines in.
Can someone tell me what the persons problem with voting is?

Mojodojocasahous · 02/07/2024 17:34

Bore off Dee

Scared? what does she think's going to happen, apart from 'sorry, no ID you can't vote'? she gets dragged off for interrogation as to why she doesn't have ID?

Hope so.

Of course, I had to celebrate with my own ‘name day’ cake in the shape of a heart, which I ate in 24 hours by myself.

This just seems so sad.

I actually felt quite sorry for Dee.

But, I do take issue with the idea 'that I never felt like a boy or a girl'

I don't know what feeling like a boy is like. Because I'm not one. But then I'm not sure what feeling like a girl is like and I am one. So, does that make me NB too? Or do I need another category? Where do I fit in?

JanesLittleGirl · 02/07/2024 17:02

And people say that there is no benefit to requiring photo id?

StankyMeg · 02/07/2024 17:02

Female that looks like a female but with extra tattoos and hair dye.

What is she scared of? Nobody gives a shiny shit about NB. It's meaningless.

I don't understand Dee being scared.

Either they will let Dee vote or they won't let Dee vote. The first needs "Thank you", the second needs "Oh, sorry, my fault for not sorting it out."

Believe me, nobody will think Dee is special, and I am sure Dee will get safely away and back home. Dee will not be in any actual danger at any point.

Yes but if they don't let her vote then it will be evidence of not affirming her new identity which is....literal violence.

I have never read such navel-gazing nonsense!

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 02/07/2024 16:59

That’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back.
I suspect she’ll be very disappointed if no-one notices or questions her, rather than scared if they do.

Hummusanddipdip · 02/07/2024 16:58

I'd just take the deedpole doc and my photo I.D. I seriously doubt the people taking details and handing the papers out care beyond making sure the person who should be voting votes. It's not like they're going to make a big song and dance about having to check a second document.

Maybe David Tennant could play Dee in the advert this is surely destined for ?

I wouldn't support the return of the death penalty generally but I make an exception for that.

Show quote history

SerendipityJane · 02/07/2024 16:24

You think they did it behind the persons back ?

Show quote history

Oh gosh, no. I expect the person was all for it.

I expect the newspaper think they're being wonderful allies.

I just don't think stuff like this garners the sympathy that they hope for. Person could well be cringing self inside out in a few years at this.

NewGreenDuck · 02/07/2024 16:48

I'd like to tell Dee to stop being so vexatious. No one cares.

UtterlyOtterly · 02/07/2024 16:47

RantyMcRanterton · 02/07/2024 16:39

Oh right, so non binary is a trans identity not a non binary identity. Clear as mud.

HappierTimesAhead · 02/07/2024 16:35

I had my second lightbulb moment when I discovered the term non-binary randomly on Instagram.
Instantly, I knew this identity was mine

This is really bizarre to me as someone who isn't obsessed with my 'identity'. I just am, I am me. Not any less or more important than anyone else.

illinivich · 02/07/2024 16:32

I blame hollyoakes. They should have included the admin around name changing in an episode.

How are they supposed to know about voting id otherwise. Its hardly advertised.

DumbassHamsterSitterPerson · 02/07/2024 16:29

Flipping hell. Just apply for the free voters ID and get on with it.

I changed my name by deed poll. Annoyingly I can't change it on the electoral register without photo ID. So I applied for my free voters ID in my old name. Hardly newsworthy.

Shodan · 02/07/2024 16:27

How tediously boring Dee is. Dee needs to work on getting past the tiresome teenage stage of life.

HappierTimesAhead · 02/07/2024 16:25

Wow. So, I am 'hyper-feminine' because I use fake tan and have long (ish) hair? Got it 🙄
The self-love tattoo on her chest is quite something.
