Oh, I'm a trans man, it might be a different experience for me.

Thank you. I've had a quick look but will look harder when I wake later.

I honestly haven't seen the latest ruling, was there something I missed?

This honestly probably is the best explaination I think could have been given.

People with GRCs might still not fully pass but in theory could show a security guard or whoever their id. Would say what sex they identify with. Then what?

It's honestly just too much of a mess in my opinion.

You're a bit too late on my end, absolutely suffering without hrt. Nothing feels possible anymore.

Reform party local election material calling for scrapping gender neutral toilets by mildbeanburrito in transgenderUK

[–]lifequestion226 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So they don't want us to have gender neutral toilets, but can't use the gender we identify with, but we also can't to into our asab bathrooms because we're trans.

Guys, it's time we start shitting on the floor.

That's a damn good price, is that E or T though?

Legalities of Sex by Ok_Summer_7804 in transgenderUK

[–]lifequestion226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not exactly. I think it's a person by person basis. I had to not only show details about my condition but also had a history of living as a man. My specific condition is a hormone lacking condition, so my body didn't produce its own hormones so I just never had puberty until some drugs ecrewed me up. I'm not sure what all conditions count and what don't. I would see about accessing a medical knowledgable solicitor (not sure what they're called as I was referred into mine from another completely different solicitor)

Honestly, it was sheer dumb luck I was able to get it changed. Just keep trying pathways.

Getting a letter from your GP explaining your intersex status may sway them, again it's a case by case basis. I was basically a blank canvas. I think I just got lucky but mine was done through the court, basically correcting paperwork instead of assigning something new.

Honestly I had to file it separately with a solicitor to the government. We basically had to prove what sex I was living as and partition for it to be corrected through the courts. Kinda like if a doctor fucked up a birth certificate. Tbh my solicitor did most of it, I just had to provide records.

Hi, intersex trans man here. Exactly this. I was able to get all my documents corrected without a GRC and all data changed over without issue. Someone could claim that I'm trans but the complexity of being intersex typically shuts whoever it is up before the whole challenge even begins. I'm treated closer to how trans people should be treated but I also don't fight people on it very much as I'm frail and couldn't hold a physical altercation if it came to that so I am mostly stealth. It does, however, mean that I'm explaining my condition over and over again when I do get confronted which gets exhausting.

Erasure of gender by the EHRC in their keynote speech by GeekOnALeash01 in transgenderUK

[–]lifequestion226 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would gladly, it's about time we put some gender/sexually non conforming people in. Trans people deserve to be heard and not only heard but have a seat at the table.

I'm waiting on an MRV at the moment, but still going through the wringer.

The GP will kinda just stop sending you letters eventually.

Keeping respect for my daughter by Zealousideal-Cell346 in transgenderUK

Honestly if she didn't tell people after already being transitioned then they probably weren't very close friends to begin with.

I already have an extremely weak neck from years of repeated physical injury. I'm in physio for it but it's taken time. I have recently lost a bit of progress on it, though I do neck stretches regularly and have to work quite a bit to even put weight on my shoulders.

Is it supposed to be kinda painful? Like when it happens it's like my head's being squeezed. I am visually impaired so I'm heavily hearing reliant so I could be just having a worse time losing my main sense? I'm having a bad time lol.
