EU states must provide proper ID for transgender citizens

[prophetscross@mastodon.social]

@m000gletje @eunews @pq1r Yeah I went to protest the shit Bathroom laws in the UK because I "don't give a shit"

Look, I don't know what to tell you but "winning" an internet flame war won't win you any points with anyone, especially not on Mastodon. You're not gonna exactly win anyone over by shouting and punching them in the face when they make a comment.

I'm not gonna bother responding anymore cause you're just seeing Red, I hope your day gets better whatever's going on.

[m000gletje@app.wafrn.net]

i dont need to feel sympathy for a trans person just cause theyre trans, this shitty community harmed me more than the evil "cishet estabilishment" yall love talking shit about so much

keep hoping for my obituary, loser

(i wrote this response earlier but like. you knew i was non-binary before following me, right?)

ehhh not trying to dunk on you but i agree that it just isn’t necessary… no one’s stopping you from wearing pronoun badges or trans merch, and people have the right to choose if they want to be “cowards”. people are still murdered for being trans.

gonna switch this to followers only like the Coward️ i am. (edit: i chose to do unlisted, if people see this, it is what it is) generally i’m open about being a non-binary lesbian.

gender is a fuck. i’m currently fighting a million battles to stay alive. i don’t want to think too much about my own gender or transitioning right now. there are A LOT of thoughts there and i’m not in a place to sort through them. they happen regularly but i generally try not to get to deep into them because i just can’t. (adding this now: before i came out my binary trans friend (now former friend) would shit on nb people for being “trans trender” and gave me a dirty look when i did come out. my friend has tried to get me to buy trans merch and i refuse because i feel fake even though im usually open about being nb. coward i guess idfk)

i currently “present,” i guess, like a cis female. my hair is long as fuck. not that guys can’t have long hair, but with so many things out of control in my life, my hair is something i can somewhat control. i’m having a biopsy for cancer in the coming weeks and that could take another thing away from me.

i’d fucking love to present masc and “try on” he/him pronouns for awhile to continue figuring out what the fuck is going on. i can’t wear a binder. i can’t even wear a bra. i have something wrong with my ribs and even slight pressure for a few hours can cause up to level ten pain for days where i can barely breathe and i cant even speak because those trigger the pain.

i can’t even fucking choose my clothes because i can’t even afford clothes.

my grandma, one of those most important people in my life, is 90 and isn’t getting any younger. i’m sure she would love me no matter what. but she is very religious. i don’t think she would force me to change if she knew. when she found out i was an atheist she was distraught because she was afraid God would send me to Hell. she did not try to change me or say i was evil or shame me. she just cried a lot, mostly on her own, and worried because she doesn’t want me to go to Hell. she also worried that God punished me with chronic illness because I’m an atheist, but I want to make it clear that she genuinely doesn’t seem to blame me. she knows I’m a good person with a good heart (even if I don’t always believe that about myself). i’m her only grandkid. mind you… she’s in Poland. she’s lived there her whole life.

i asked my dad if i should come out to my grandparents, and he was like haha, no, don’t. please. they’re too old. they’re already very worried about you. they don’t need more stress.

i think he’s got a point. they don’t even know about the potential cancer shit or the upcoming surgery. i don’t even tell them how much shit i’ve gone without because it would break their hearts and i know they’re struggling with money and i don’t want to burden them. i tell them yeah i’m sick but i tell them i’m living comfortably.

i really thought about changing my name and gender. then i remembered that they’d probably see my passport when i visit them.

if that makes me a coward, well… to be fair. i’m pretty open about the fact that i am a coward

if you enjoy being vocal about stuff then by all means continue, but if this upsets you i’d suggest taking a break. it’s not worth it

[m000gletje@app.wafrn.net]

i don't fucking feel sympathy for a trans person just bc theyre trans, yall hurt me so much to the point i frankly don't believe anymore in solidarity - it's kill or be killed

the point at which it becomes cowardice is when you push your "i dont want to put effort" onto everyone else - i'm all for personal choices but they do come with consequences

everyone only addresses "but then what about the enbies/we need to move beyond the binary"- we dont got shit to move when yall still treat binary trans people like shit for transitioning and the fact they aren't genderfucky

i lived in a country where transition legally doesn't exist, my environment never heard of transness aside from some vague stereotypes about trans women, my parents were outright hostile. i had nowhere to go

but i didn't stick into my 20s with the mentality of "if i can't have it, no one can" - at some point you gotta fucking take fate into your hands and do something.

again y'all are taking my hard fought gender off my cold hands and over my fucking dead body. i don't owe the rotten transphobes nor main-character-syndrome queers anything

i am sick of justifying my fight and existence to your and their kind alike

@eunews - How Bulgar

@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

[venividistupui@mastodon.world]

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?

@venividistupui@mastodon.world @eunews@mastodon.social

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?

[jedimb@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@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.

[mxalba@blahaj.zone]

@pq1r@tech.lgbt @eunews@mastodon.social

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...

[venividistupui@mastodon.world]

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.

[swagpuppy420@little.tinypuppy.dog]

@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.

[brinazarski@app.wafrn.net]

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.
