Weak attempt at insult, do better

I'm going to leave it up to the court of public opinion. If anyone else is this far down and has an opinion, feel free to weigh in, i'd like to know what piece of this I'm missing.

Primary care physicians need to know what conditions you might be susceptible to in the future, and some of these conditions are based on your sex.

We have laws making it illegal to discriminate according to gender. If there are zero legal gender categories, there is no legal basis by which one can say discrimination has occured, so nobody can technically commit such a crime.

Please explain why. Do you believe that all males are domestic abusers and that no women in same-sex relationships have ever been abused?

I volunteered at a shelter with my mother as a younger teen. Then overnight I went from someone who could reliably count cans of Habitant soup and diapers to someone who could not be trusted to know the address. My best friend at the time and his mother were victims of domestic violence. The inference hurt and still does 30 years later. So I would like to understand your position.

identification

My driver's license couldn't even include my proper eye colour: pers (or hazel). So it says my eyes are green... when they are not.

That's about as correct as my gender designation.

You have to think of the poor cops who don't know more than 4 colours. Can't scare them too much with challenging nuance and facts.

Different laws apply to different genders

That conservatives use gender as a weapon at their discretion.

I wouldn't, due to biological differences in sex. I mean, not that I wouldn't take drugs designed for women, but if you're hemorrhaging blood or have a problem where certain medicines present contraindications with your biology, you'd want a doctor to know.

Good point. Also babies don't have different body types so I guess you can use whatever you want. Unlike when I see cool shoes but the women's sizes a pink or shitty pastel colors while boys get cool stuff.

Oh wow. I had no idea. That's fun to imagine. I guess it's easy to adapt the mind to the idea.

Is it? You can have female hormone levels and still have male genitalia. Science is cool like that. And no, people aren't defined solely by their genitals, but they aren't solely defined by their appearance either, or their biology. It's a big mash up of those things and a few more.

Point being it's really hard to describe that situation as being solely one or the other. It's definitely something that needs to be indicated for medical reasons though, but most Identification Documents don't draw any distinction between sex and gender, much less allow for notation of something like that. Once again, paperwork lags behind reality.

If memory serves one of the affected medications is used to treat some kinds of heart attacks, so possibly literally yes.

But sex is all of the biological part, and yeah, exactly because is holistical and not just a sum of its parts is that it's the reason because it's precise.

The gender is all the sociocultural and psicological part.

It can't. Their identity is wrapped up in the expectation that most people, like them, lack impulse control and can't be trusted in any situation where genitals are involved. They think every horror imaginable is only seconds away from happening in every bathroom.

This matches closely with my own experience.

Gender doesn't help here. Or there would be no confusion over it in place of an image. The image provides more information and the gender marker is unreliable as an identifier even for cis people.

Anemia is the first thing on my mind, but I don't have girl parts and fail to grasp the significance of that other than people telling me that it's bad.

your argument only makes sense if you think sexual assault is inevitable in prisons. the idea that a prison can't stop someone from sexually assaulting someone else is absurd.

I don't know what "argument" and for or against what do you mean but I take your response as "I would send that person to female prison". And if women got sexually harassed you would say they should design better prisons.

Also a disturbing amount of sexual assaults, particularly around Delhi. (Men getting assaulted by women is rare enough that we haven't had to make rules specifically for it.) During the recent protests a policeman harassed a female protestor after arresting her, despite the rule that only policewomen should arrest women. Now most police forces aren't as bad as Delhi police, but that bar is underground.

what

It's just one example of how fucked up things can get. You're patrol and you see that, you can't do anything because "we're allies to the iraqi army now."

there's no actual reason for having them, it's just there because we've always done it that way and any sort of change is scary :(
It does help that legal gender makes it easy to oppress people, though. that's very convenient.

do you think trans women count as female? do trans men count as female?

Who do you think deserves shelter from abuse?
