This is fairly irrelevant but I always think Dee is such a pretty name

Somehow I don't think Dee will be pleased to hear that!

Don't expect logic from someone that can't work out if they're male or female

DontThinkJustDo · 03/07/2024 11:38

Dee is scared of being outed at the polling station in front of a couple of people so instead outs theirself in front of a few thousand Metro readers instead?

It is the same script as the article shared the other day when someone at a seminar/conference on interviewing and CVs for work stood up and did a similar poor fragile me what shall I do performance about what name to use on a CV.

They were rather taken aback when instead of playing the game, one of the men on the panel said he didn't care, use the current name and just tell him what they would bring to the job, and he was tired of encountering applicants seemingly believing that identity made them any more interesting.

Whilst it's fun to laugh at the likes of Dee, I think it's irresponsible of the Metro to publish an article that implies it's scary and impossible to vote if you're in the process of name changing.

UtterlyOtterly · 03/07/2024 10:40

I think we need to be fair here. Dee is obviously a troubled young person, there are more around than ever. I blame social media mostly.

Let's hope Dee gets to vote without any problems. Then it will all be water under the bridge as my Grandma used to say.

Ah now in fairness, that's not true.

If she's entitled to vote, she's a woman as she must be over 18. Although I could argue that she is not a normal woman as most normal women wouldn't have that much difficulty in following the instructions of bringing along ID and proof of deed poll.

Smirk. Ok sorry that's me corrected.

Sorry, just needed to get it out

Only the super special get to eat the cake. Everyone else must cheer them on but that's all

To be a true ally, you must buy the cake for the special person, then applaud while they/zie/fae/fee/fi/fo/fum eats it all themself/zerself/faeself etc.

BruceAndNosh · 03/07/2024 09:25

If Dee's driving licence is in old name and doesn't match the Electoral Roll, then Dee must have changed their name on the latter. Or did the Deed Poll elves do it?

UtterlyOtterly · 03/07/2024 09:23

TWETMIRF Thank you. I missed that detail...

Catsmere · 03/07/2024 09:22

Yes, #BeKind is only for genderspeshuls. Muggles don't get any, even if they're rabid supporters (unless they're dick-havers, of course).

UtterlyOtterly · 03/07/2024 08:58

Why didn't Dee share Dee's cake with Dee's family or friends?

Wouldn't that #BeKind?

Couldn't work out how to change ID. Sort of electoral natural selection.

Sad but true!

testing987654321 · 03/07/2024 08:16

The weirdest thing of that whole article is that she has all the ID she needs already.

She did seem to apply for a voter id card but because she still looks like her ID she was told to use that plus her deed poll to explain the name change.

Absolutely no-one cares whether she believes she is non-binary. She's just a person who has changed her name.

Crossingsout · 03/07/2024 06:13

If the Lib Dems get their way and non-binary is recognised legally we can expect a lot more of these sort of articles in the future e.g."I am non-binary on my passport but now I'm afraid border guards might not understand my special identity!"

Helleofabore · 03/07/2024 06:00

Crikey! Scared about being asked for ID to vote, eh? I think that Dee needs to invest in some therapy.

Motorina · 03/07/2024 04:37

Sooooo she had the choice of:

  1. updating her ID
  2. getting a free voter ID
  3. using her old ID plus deed poll document
  4. getting a postal vote
  5. voting by proxy

And didn’t do any of those things.

Yet it’s the state that’s put in barriers to make it hard for her to vote?

Seems to me it’s a basic failure of adulting.

JurassicClark · 03/07/2024 04:27

I want to spend 24 hours eating cake. What documentation do I need?

JanefromLondon1 · 03/07/2024 04:13

I had to have a name change cake and spent 24 hours eating it by myself.

Of course you did.

Next.

ehhdh · 03/07/2024 02:03

Just register for postal votes from now on. No ID needed.

unwashedanddazed · 03/07/2024 01:39
  1. Theys having thems cake and eating all to theyselves.
  2. Theys worshipping a giant gold cock.

I don't believe theys nonbinary. The evidence suggests thems a man.
