I think, if you'd be safer day to day with your legal gender changed, then you should do that ASAP.

I know theres been some worry about being on a "list", but like. We already are. There are other easier ways to find out who is trans, and the things you can do with a GRC can't all be easily reversed even if the GRA is scrapped. It's certainly going to be harder to change your legal gender in most other places, if it comes to that.

I really would not put it off as it does take a fair bit of time. It will take 22 weeks to get a response (better get your evidence right the first time!). It's only £6, if you want your chosen name on your birth certificate you must change it beforehand, and if you are in a marriage or civil partnership and your partner does not agree, you will have to get divorced.

Apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate

Apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate to legally change your gender.

Remember changing your name is free, do not enroll your deed poll.

Change your name by deed poll

A deed poll recognises a change of name of an adult or child - make your own, use official forms, or get one through a specialist agency or

Reminder that "transwoman" without the space is a transmisogynistic dogwhistle as it's used almost exclusively by hate groups like the "gender critical" movement.

The implication of removing the space is that being trans isn't just one way a woman can be, like being tall or being brunette, but that women who are trans require a whole other noun.

Trans women, tall women, brunette women. Leave the space in; trans is an adjective and trans women are women.

This is transfeminism!

[buggyhuman-blog]

I find that framing extremely narrow and reductive.

No, not everyone who doesn't use the space is your enemy. Some might not speak English as their first language, and their native tongue might write words together. And that's all.

Don't immediately assume malice.

there are a thousand comments like this on this post, including a surprising number that (like this one does) go on to scold me further in the tags that i could just tell someone nicely bc they might not know.

and i just want to know what you all think the point of this post is, if not to warn you not to use this dogwhistle, nicely, because you might not know.

I'm aware not everyone knows. that's why it works as a dogwhistle. and why I wrote a post. to let ppl know.

and it was written politely!

I learned about this dogwhistle from a similar tumblr post 12 years ago and since I've noticed this convention popping up weirdly frequently recently, I wanted to give people a heads up like what I got.

so you would know.

because I'm not assuming malice, because this post is addressed to my own political allies, people I'm assuming will WANT to know the dogwhistle is there.

people who will WANT to stop unknowingly using this convention yourselves, and notice it from others, so that it loses some of its ability to function as a dogwhistle.

because this post was written in the assumption most of its readers would be interested in countering the rhetorical toolkit used to advance the political project of transmisogyny.

[ratsetflummi]

that might be the intention, but you can't control what the effect it

this post has 3.5k notes. so 3.5k people out there might now write "trans woman" instead of "transwoman". that just leaves several million people who didn't see this post and don't know that it's a dogwhistle and just write it as "transwoman" because that's what they've seen or that's what comes naturally to them

and the 3.5k people that have seen this post now think that those millions of people who are trying their best are The Enemy™

and like, "transfeminism" is one word. are you surprised that people see words like that and from that conclude that "transwoman" is the correct way to spell it?

“It just means you have to work double as hard as most people!”

Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!

Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?

One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”
