'Let people self-declare that they are legally male or female' says Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission

People who identify as transgender should to be allowed to legally switch from male to female (or vice-versa) on demand, the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has said.

The commission has called on Stormont's Department of Health to change the rules accordingly, and the department in turn has pledged to "consider" the report.

It follows years of rising opposition to self-ID across the UK, and comes the wake of the UK Supreme Court judgment which delivered a blow to the self-ID movement by defining “woman” as an adult who was born female, not merely anyone who self-identifies as such.

So Northern Ireland saw Barbie Kardashian and thought "I'll have some of that" ??

Do these people not hear how nuts they sound?

No they don't because they believe in that fiction.

Yep, let them also declare they're 8 when they're in fact 38, that they're Martian when in fact from Malvern, that they're physically disabled when in fact nothing wrong with them, that they're black when in fact they have multiple generations going back as white as white can be.
And therein lies the problem, when it comes to trans, facts go out of the window, it's all opinions. And one thing about humans, we're not short of an opinion or three.

Show quote history

You are being generous in using the word 'opinion'. It implies some rational thinking at least when there is absolutely none. I prefer 'fantasy', where rationality it seldom found and indeed is not necessary.

And trans women must be sure to have their cervical screening while trans men must get their prostates checked. What doctors? You can't find a trans woman's cervix. How bizarre. After all David Lammy insisted transwomen grew a cervix. You are obviously not looking hard enough.

When did it become a human rights issue to want to be legally counted as something that you’re not?

It’s a legal fiction that has repercussions far beyond the individual.

Just what we need. More confusion. More court cases. More women at risk.

Let's just scrap Male and Female, its a pointless segregation if it is a piece of made up nonsense.

Everything needs to be individual.
Individual changing rooms, in schools, sports facilities, and work places
Individual hospital rooms
Individual toilets
Individual youth hostel rooms
Individual tents for scouts / guides
Individual rooms in military barracks
Individual rooms for all school trips.
Individual prison cells / toilets / showers.

Sport just scrap it. If female means nothing then scrap all sports.
Exluding horse and motor sports, Even filles and mares carry less weight than colts, geldings and stallions. They don't get to identify out of being male or female!

You can't ask people too share if they have no idea what sex the person they are sharing is. Same with the organiser if they have not idea what sex the people are they cannot ask them to share
