Apologies for the daily fail link. www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5439701/amp/Transsexual-dragon-lady-born-man.html

Or Google Tiamat dragon lady.

Man becomes woman then ID's as a dragon.

Im sure I'm not BU to think it's just not possible to ID as another species?

That article is 2 years old!

AsAProfessionalPenis · 04/04/2018 09:25

Still relevant as ID remains an issue
If men can self ID as women why not species, or colour, race, disabled
There are already people living as disabled, sometimes part time
I think there is a fell runner trans woman who lives part of their life in a wheelchair
Should any self id be looked on more favourably than the others

It's relevant to shape the need for boundaries in the ID debate. Just because it's extremely unlikely, doesn't mean that someone- indeed, many someones- won't do it!

I came on prepared to have to report this thread but it's so inane so Biscuit

Mydoghatesthebath · 04/04/2018 09:38

This whole thing is becoming ridiculous now. Utterly fed up with the continuing posturing and gaslighting of these ridiculous men

Eliza9917 · 04/04/2018 09:39

Asaprofessionalpenis id-Ing as disabled when you aren't is just ridiculous. You either are or you are not, that's not a feeling.

Well I have heard it all now...

I think it’s helpful to demonstrate that body dysphoria takes many forms and is a mental illness.
There is a white woman who “identifies” as black, much to the fury of the genuine black community. There are patients with limb dysphoria, who try to amputate a leg because they “identify” as an amputee.
These people need compassion and psychiatric help to accept their bodies, rather than accepting their delusions and providing surgery to fit.
I hope these other dysphorias will be publicised, and show up the nonsense of gender dysphoric men being regarded as women.

AsAProfessionalPenis · 04/04/2018 09:44

Actually for some people it is very real
A feeling that part of their body doesn't belong. Usually one or both lower limbs
A Newcastle surgeon amputated limbs for patients a few years ago until there was an outcry. The patient had to live as a disabled person for a period of time before they were considered
For others it's different and an identity. Like the part time disabled trans woman
If we accept self id I don't think we can pick and choose which are valid

GunnyHighway · 04/04/2018 09:46

Almost as if this person has a mental health issue. What do I know though?

neddle · 04/04/2018 09:46

I wish I could self identify as a cat, then I could sleep all day.

Actually I disagree. A person can be (sort of) part time disabled, fine one some days, terrible on others, deciding you feel like sitting in a wheelchair because thats who you are is just ridiculous though. Same with race, some people do have a foot firmly in both races. What you can't be as a XY man, is a woman.

CinderellaRockefeller · 04/04/2018 10:20

So what? What harm is the dragon lady doing to you? If she wants to be a dragon let her be a dragon.

It’s not like she’s fraudulently self identifying as a dragon for nefarious purposes of claiming dragon only benefits or anything.

DailyWailSucksSnails · 04/04/2018 10:28

Since animals have almost no legal rights, especially not mythical ones, can we put it in a zoo & feed it pumpkins? I mean ,why not. Certainly no right to drive, own property, transfer wealth to others, enter into a legal contract (like to get the plastic surgery done), etc.

What a collosal waste of good money. HIV has been quite controllable since the late 80s, and certainly for Eva since 1997. No reason to think "must not die..." anything.

What? I don't understand this.

KennDodd · 04/04/2018 10:54

I wonder what Dragon lady does for a living? Said she was a banker in the past so maybe doesn't need to work anymore?

Vickxy · 04/04/2018 11:03

I would prefer if these fucking narcissists just all IDed as mythical creatures tbh. Would make things a lot easier. Then we go back to having transsexuals, rather than this new cohort of men who just want to ID as women with no dysphoria or anything.

funnily enough it came on my FB feed this morning! A more up to date link - www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/transgender-woman-spends-more-40k-12100328
Up to 2016 he still hadn't had gender reassignment surgery according to another report
