I have never read such navel-gazing nonsense!

I don't understand Dee being scared.

Either they will let Dee vote or they won't let Dee vote. The first needs "Thank you", the second needs "Oh, sorry, my fault for not sorting it out."

Believe me, nobody will think Dee is special, and I am sure Dee will get safely away and back home. Dee will not be in any actual danger at any point.

Yes but if they don't let her vote then it will be evidence of not affirming her new identity which is....literal violence.

Female that looks like a female but with extra tattoos and hair dye.

What is she scared of? Nobody gives a shiny shit about NB. It's meaningless.

JanesLittleGirl · 02/07/2024 17:02

And people say that there is no benefit to requiring photo id?

AlwaysFreezing · 02/07/2024 17:07

I actually felt quite sorry for Dee.

But, I do take issue with the idea 'that I never felt like a boy or a girl'

I don't know what feeling like a boy is like. Because I'm not one. But then I'm not sure what feeling like a girl is like and I am one. So, does that make me NB too? Or do I need another category? Where do I fit in?

Crossingsout · 02/07/2024 17:17

Of course, I had to celebrate with my own ‘name day’ cake in the shape of a heart, which I ate in 24 hours by myself.

This just seems so sad.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 02/07/2024 16:47

Scared? what does she think's going to happen, apart from 'sorry, no ID you can't vote'? she gets dragged off for interrogation as to why she doesn't have ID?

Hope so.

Mojodojocasahous · 02/07/2024 17:34

Bore off Dee

LakeTiticaca · 02/07/2024 17:36

Sorry I lost the will to live 3 lines in.
Can someone tell me what the persons problem with voting is?

BackToLurk · 02/07/2024 17:36

Well that’s simple really: money, time and difficulty. Not only is it costly and time-consuming, but as I am non-binary and use the title ‘Mx’, updating my legal documents is harder than for binary trans+ people

Dee’s a bullshitter. It’s free to change your name on your driver’s licence and you can use Mx. You just fill in a form and supply supporting documents.

But was your mother in a whirl ?

Well up until 1928, this young woman wouldn’t have a vote.

The patriarchy knows who the women are; this young woman might do well to remember that.

BabyShaark · 02/07/2024 17:38

People are easily scared these days

NewGreenDuck · 02/07/2024 17:40

I can think of several countries where she really would be petrified just because she is female.

Lifeinlists · 02/07/2024 17:45

Is there a category for 'self-absorbed attention seeker' when she updates her details?

InfoSecInTheCity · 02/07/2024 17:46

There is no issue.

The guidance says Dee can show the deed poll to explain the difference between passport name and electoral roll name.

The person Dee spoke to has said the same, so that all Dee needs to do.

Dees specific set of circumstances has been accounted for, a process exists and there is no reason to anticipate anything other than a completely smooth experience at the voting station.

FreebieWallopFridge · 02/07/2024 17:46

Oh for gods sake

I wouldn't support the return of the death penalty generally but I make an exception for that.

Sounds like a job for Serial Mom!

BloodyHellKenAgain · 02/07/2024 17:50

What an absolute load of self absorbed horse shit. Why didn't didn't just do a postal vote FGS ?

CriticalCondition · 02/07/2024 17:50

Dee clearly has spent hundreds, possibly thousands of pounds on her tattoos. They are no doubt a crucial part of her identity. But then appears to take issue with spending a few quid on getting the right piece of paper.
But form filling is just not interesting is it.

Chersfrozenface · 02/07/2024 17:52

Precis of entire piece.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

DeadlyKnightshade · 02/07/2024 17:52

Of course it's metro.co.uk. Not a surprise as they're
deep into gender ideology.

CollyBobble · 02/07/2024 17:58

Jesus wept. I would think that going to vote is the least of her problems.

I will have to send the story to TheQuartering as he features these types of people on YouTube.

duc748 · 02/07/2024 18:02

It seems the adult world is just a bit much for poor Dee,

Clariana · 02/07/2024 16:16

Well, to quote the article "Why haven't you updated your legal documents?'. The suggested reason is cost, but that is the same for everyone, and in any case she could apply for the free voter id. So no excuse really.

One less tattoo would have given her the time and money to do the changes.

So what I take out of the article is that she gender non confirming, as is 95% of the population to varying degrees. There's just an extra smidgeen of "I want to be special" thrown in to the equation.
