@eivind oooooh. Beware, I guess

@eivind tell me more?

@m000gletje @eunews @pq1r I think I simply prefer a world where you can change your gender by stating so instead of having to go through a lot of bureaucracy? In the same way that your ID doesn't list your sex chromosomes, your genitals, your sexual orientation or whether you are into feet, I don't think it should list your gender?

@pq1r @m000gletje @eunews eeeeh, we do live in a patriarchy unfortunately, you can't talk about - say - a gender pay gap without having a notion of gender

@m000gletje @eunews @pq1r I guess there are situations where gender is a proxy for classes we want to protect, but it's still an imperfect proxy for it. Situations where we want to specifically protect women are also likely to want to protect queer people in general, regardless of gender

@m000gletje @eunews @pq1r I'm happy for your achievement and I support your right of self expression, but I also understand the general idea that the government having any say in gender is obsolete. Every time I see a form - be it a government or a company one - that asks me for my gender I think "why". The only places that should care are dating apps, and possibly social media (although that one is better served by asking pronouns and/or titles instead).
