I think I read Dee has a BA in English Literature from Queen Mary's. I expect the subsequent Masters in Genderwoo from Birkbeck taught zer/zie/thems that spelling is a spectrum and a word can use any combination of letters it likes.

Spelling bigots, the lot of you!

Well, if they haven't got Voter ID they won't be able to. Have they not heard of a postal vote?

I was going to say why didn't she just get a postal vote! She has changed her name since 2023 so plenty of time to apply for postal vote

MrsLeonFarrell · 04/07/2024 10:40

That was a bit of a nothingburger. I have never heard of a male Dee so I'm not sure the name is as non binary as she thinks.

I can’t get past ‘per say’ and how Dee would probably be pissed off that this is the main thing I remember from her tale of trauma.

What is their/zir etc.highest educational qualification? I CBA to go back and look.

If it's a PhD, that's Level 8. And they/ze etc. can't spell 'per se'.

Dee should have listened to they's Mother's wise words. "Why don't you just go by the name Dee if that's what you want?" Why go through the bother of changing your name by deed poll but then not changing your other documents? I can feel the Mother's exasperation lol. Dee seems quite needy and helpless. I'm surprised Dee had the skills to sort out that deed poll all on their own.

Yep my take away was Dee didn't want to have Dee's 'dead name' on official documents so Dee changed Dee's name by deed poll, then left Dee's 'dead name' on all Dee'd official documents.
Mmm OK.

I'm confused as to why, if she doesn't want to be seen as a woman, she changed her name to one which is generally used for women.

I suspect my confusion is less than hers.

Choochoo21 · 04/07/2024 09:55

I feel so sorry for her.

How difficult it must be that people are talking about voting and not you and your gender/sexuality.
How does one cope without attention for a few minutes.

If there was only a way she could try and make the voting about herself.

Dee could have asked any one of the many thousands of UK women who change their names annually how they handled the terribly traumatic voting process.

But they're scary c-c-c-cis- wimin who will curse me if I approach them with my sPetizL self...

lcakethereforeIam · 04/07/2024 09:42

If you're going to change your name to a letter of the alphabet, why 'D'? It's too red pen 'see me', or (possibly nominative determanism) 'dunce'. I can understand avoiding 'A', what's your name? A. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? A!. B would have been nice 🐝

“There is so much legal pushback to being non-binary” 🤭 Now why could that be? 🤨

Imagine being this self absorbed. I've changed my name by deed poll and all, it's not hard.

Yes but you didn't do it in a stunning and brave way. Yours was just an ordinary, non- special deed poll.

FrancescaContini · 04/07/2024 09:34

Made me laugh 🤭 Poor little petal, how tough it must be to have her life.

This is absolutely correct. I know because I appear in my married name on the electoral roll , but my photo ID is still in my maiden name.

I went to the polling station for the Police Comissioner election, added complication that the Post office had not delivered my polling card. I gave my address, showed my driving licence, explained my name change. I had my marriage certificate but they didn’t require it.

So no need to worry, Dee ( except that is probably the worst news you could have hear).

Show quote history

All my photo id is in my maiden name. Today I just took along my marriage cert as well (which to be fair I also have to do every time I open a bank account in my married name) and it was fine. No fuss.

Now I am feeling a bit disappointed there was no fuss now I know that a fuss could have been made. Should I go back to the polling station and kick up a stink? Would I get into the papers? I'll consider while I have my cup of tea and shortbread biscuit.

Attention seeking girl.

Whichever they want. They're speshul.

Totally off topic, but I’m curious, which public toilets would non binary people use? 🫤

From what I've read they want all toilets to be unisex.

Where they are not, they use the women's toilets. Even, or perhaps especially, the male NBs.

Passport and evidence of name change by deed poll, job done. Just like if your ID is still in your maiden name. It's a complete non issue Hmm

Take some responsibility you silly crybaby.

Silly woman with an unaddressed eating disorder.

Show me one 'non binary' or ROGD teen girl who DOESN'T have an unaddressed ED, trauma from abuse, depression, anxiety or cluster B personality disorder.

As Twitter neckbeards love to say, I'll wait 😉
