I’m scared about what will happen when I go to vote

Slightly concerned now. I'm AFAB with lots of tattoos, specs, and shit hair.

What if I'm a special enby and got to 40 without realising.

It makes you wonder how some people get anything done in life if voting is so complicated and fraught for them.

Trans, where you are scared for your life if people find out that you're trans while at the same time plastering your transness all over the place saying LOOK AT ME, I AM TRANS AND THAT'S AMAZING!

What is the issue? Possesses photo ID in the old name and a letter saying that name has legally changed. What a drama.

maybe the Sexual Freedom award will convince the polling station staff of Dees identity, I would take it with you when you pop along to vote dear.

It's a sexual freedom award, comes with the vile strapline 'Honouring pioneers in sexuality, striptease artists, sexual service providers and their allies'

Google Lens tells me that she's the happy winner of a Sexual Freedom Award.

So well done Dee. That's nice.

Oh the drama.

What is that revolting thing she's holding so proudly? Is a golden cock with rainbow wings a non-binarysymbol? It looks pretty binary to me! (Sacred lingam, anyone?)

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).

The whole movement are absolute magpies in terms of half-inching language that was coined to describe real phenomena.

So, 'outing' appropriated from LGB

'Deadname' appropriated from some parts of the American civil rights movement (compare "slave name")

'Unsafe' from sex based violence/psychiatry

Even 'dysphoria' again from psychiatry as a rare phenomenon which is now used to legitimise changing your name by deedpoll and writing about being scared to vote in a modern democracy (even though you've been assured you can quite easily).

I want to say to them, "That feeling of unease? Yes, totally normal reaction to being a woman in the society we live in. In fact, it shows you are 100% a woman because most of us carry that unease around with us. Not because there is something wrong with us but because there is something deeply wrong with misogynistic, patriarchal society we live in. Don't fight with yourself and your body, fight the system!"

I really resent the conflation of terms associated with being gay (coming out, being outed) and so-called gender identity although is this the opposite of gender-identity because she doesn't identify with a gender but she is still scared of being outed as, what? Outed as female or outed as non-binary? But isn't the latter what she wants to be identified as? Or does she want us to not identify her as anything at all? Perhaps not even a sentient being. In which case she probably can't vote anyway.

Sorry, fell down a thought spiral.

I think once people come across the term "dysphoria" then any sense of unease they have gets put under that label.

So "I feel sad", "I don't fit in", "I'm not like the other girls" means you're dysphoric and there must be a REASON.

And that reason, for a lot of them, is perfectly developmentally normal solipsism/navel gazing + the Internet.

I love the fact that she is scared of having to out herself at the polling station if there's an issue with her ID. It's blindingly obvious to everyone but her that she is female, so she'll out herself as soon as she walks into the polling station.

You have to read the comment. I think this one sums it up for me....

You could have avoided attention seeking by using a postal vote.

I bet they’ll be gutted if they go to vote, there’s no kerfuffle and they’re just treated like anyone else

Well i'm sure the super special person will find something else to complain about and highlight their specialness, even if they get waved through no problem

Is Dee short for Delilah, as in "why oh why" did I have to read such claptrap.

Does Dee realise that my describing the population in terms of binary people and non-binary people, a binary is created in which the non/binary people are binary too?

Posted again after pressing post by accident!

This is a genuine question but is it a thing to wake up daily and question what you are? Maybe I'm the odd one out but it has never occurred to me that oh today I feel like a girl or today I feel like a boy lol I have just always woken up feeling like me, I am in fact a woman and have had 2 kids but it's not something that I actually feel if that makes sense because like I say I'm just me 🤨 am I missing out on some feelings that regular people have lol maybe I'm just lucky I don't get the feelings of not knowing what I feel like today and tbh I'm glad of that lol it just seems incredibly self obsessed and a bit cringey tbh because why would anybody else even care what I felt like being on a particular day anyway

I just want to know why she's pictured holding a giant golden dick and balls 🤔

Tough tittie then.

Well exactly

Postal vote is hardly hassle, it takes a minute or two online.

Free voter ID, postal vote. Has no one told her this ?
