There is no such thing as a justified enquiry, surely ? I can't think of one anyway.

What a marvellous time to be a tall woman with big feet, not only do they mock 'hulking transwomen' as though the only type of allowable woman is small and dainty with nary a bodily hair, but now I have an extra thing to feel self-conscious about in my swimsuit

scriblit.bsky.social•8 days ago

LOL, don't even try, transphobes. Not only will I not engage with you, I will immediately block you so nobody can see your reply & tell on you to the account that curates the great big transphobe blocklist. It is a net negative for you. This is not my 1st rodeo & this is not Twitter.

scriblit.bsky.social•8 days ago

Also if you are a bloke Explaining to my Silly Little Girl Self that transphobia is just to keep my ikkle frail ladyness safe from the naughty LGBTs - as such accounts so often are - this will be noted & added to my long list of 'it's mostly just patriarchal, patronising fellas' anecdotal evidence.

Just had a look (I really shouldn't) and he's being an absolute fucking sealion all over the place while at the same time recommending that awful Joyce book

scriblit.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, massive sealion vibes immediately. Might even be one of those irritate-a-tron bots (hard to tell the difference often)

floweringc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ooh, great big transphobe blocklist? (I might already have it, but I'm always delighted to yeet evil morons into the abyss).

scriblit.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hedgehog Safety's one.

floweringc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you, not one I already had.

How's about the leisure centre staff fuckin ask the parents picking their kids up from swimming lessons not to clomp their dirty outdoor shoes right through the changing village and showers to the poolside 1st because that's an actual menace, not what genitals are in the swimming costume next to me.

Terf island is not doing great.

don’t worry, they will ask sensitively, possibly in haiku form

Calliper-wielding fuckin' weirdos. *dunks them in the verruca footbath*

jimmeruk.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is nonsense anyway, because I'm sure you can change your birth certificate with a GRC, can't you?
When it comes down to numbers, it'll affect more CIS women than not. Just great fucking work all round, a real good job done.

scriblit.bsky.social•9 days ago

You absolutely can, as many Trans ppl are pointing out. And yeah, while it's important that we remember this is designed to be cruel to our trans friends, this stuff always ends up with cis women getting humiliated harassed, abused and even assaulted too, as a by-product of the hate.

justfurby.bsky.social•9 days ago

It will effectively lead to cis women having to prove a negative.

tintadetoro.bsky.social•9 days ago

So to speak.

moiness.bsky.social•8 days ago

My daughter has a passport and driving licence (actual ID) that states her gender. Less than 9,000 people have a GRC and to possess one is not a legal requirement. A birth certificate is not proof of ID. No sane organisation is going to enforce this ruling, or be able to.

thechiller.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Hey AI, can you make me a full colour UK birth certificate in the name of Wes Cunty Streeting, gender marker F, birth place Bigots Bottom."

*hits print*

dr-squiddy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Straight to the all gender ward for anyone wheeled in from A&E with an arm hanging off and no paperwork... I'm sure all the mad old toilet complainers are going to be absolutely fine with that.

dwightwedding.bsky.social•8 days ago

I went swimming and now my birth certificate has turned to papier mache

ciara2001.bsky.social•9 days ago

Going to be fun when people start saying stuff like "that birth cert looks too new, are you sure you aren't a trans?"

scriblit.bsky.social•9 days ago

Urgh.

mikduffy.bsky.social•9 days ago

And, because they're easy to acquire fraudulently and aren't a form of photo ID, transphobes and bigots can still dispute them, no matter what.

It's a perfect plan. Equitable and sane.

scriblit.bsky.social•9 days ago

Also putting it on Leisure Centre & NHS staff to work out how to go 'um, I know you need a wee, but you don't have your birth certificate on you right now, do you' in a way that won't get them sued for discrimination is Very Sensible And Much Clarity.

mikduffy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, it's all been passed by folk who are not just bigots, but have also never once had to work as a toilet cleaner or man the desk at a Leisure Centre. The impracticality never crossed their addled minds.

A swimming pool is the one place we can be totally certain everyone is pissing in the same place.

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•8 days ago

And nobody is pissing in the right one.

billhayden65.bsky.social•8 days ago

Once, at the baths, based on one change of water a year, I calculated how much of it was urine.

I wished I had not.

jesswhitecroft.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh dear.

Attenborough couldn't have put it more poetically
