EU states must provide proper ID for transgender citizens

[mo@mastodon.ml]

@pq1r there's also no reason to put a name on ID, you know
Just photo, biometric data, and unique number is enough
But people really like putting labels on themselves, so why stopping them from doing it?

Maybe instead we drop unnecessary restrictions, like «you can choose only from M and F» or «you must be diagnosed by multiple doctors to change it» or even «you must get a plastic surgery before changing»

@venividistupui No, they really want to help transgender people exercise their human rights

There’s no human right to impose on others one’s ideas about whether one can switch between sexes at will on one’s ID card. It’s a political choice that each member state community must be able to make. Imposing this “from Brussels” (actually, Luxembourg) is bound to generate a - rightful- backlash. Did Trump’s election not teach anything?

You must be really lost in the sauce if you think providing basic human rights to minorities helps the extreme right... What you're doing, restricting minorities' rights, is actually doing what the extreme right wants to do, so from a trans perspective, what exactly is the difference between you and the extreme right?

@krans @venividistupui This guy seems to subscribe to the idea that the best way to fight the far right is to give them what they want.

The thing is that the presence of ones gender on ones identification documents is something that is mandated by global consensus... So making sure that at least reflects people's lived identities is a lot easier to do than completely omitting it. And even that is proving quite hard to do, actually...

Well, if you think that everyone has a human right to force everyone else to believe whatever idiocy one has in mind, I cannot help you. Everybody has a human right not to be harassed and subjected to any form of hate. But official recognition by society of whatever foolish belief one has (such as being able to turn into a squirrel, or to change sex)? Cut me a break.

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r if you think having your gender marker changed on your ID is a good thing, look at what is happening in the US. people with gender markers changed are having their IDs revoked, removing their access to voting, driving, and travelling outside the country. What it essentially amounts to is the government having a list of all trans people is a bad thing.

i know this is easier said than done, but for the most part all the trauma has kinda made me hate most people and i don’t feel the need to justify myself to most people. i know who i am and if they don’t believe me that’s not my problem. if they don’t respect me, that’s not my problem.

now if they try and kill me, we have a problem.
