Pink News: Queensland passes new law allowing trans people to self-ID on birth certificates https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/06/15/queensland-birth-certificates-trans-self-id/ #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Lesbian #2SLGBTQ #queenslandaustralia #selfidentification #Australia #Trans #World #News

In Spain, the new #Trans Law simplifies the gender #SelfIdentification process. After the long debate, it states that any person over 16 years old will be able to legally change their name and gender on official ID documents by simply completing a basic administrative procedure. We are thrilled another country brought in new rules about #selfID this year alone!

Seems to me, for topics complex enough to be interesting:

There's little #progress but for those few participants who value the process more than some expected outcome.

Some

- want to prove that they or their social group of #SelfIdentification is factually or morally right

- are invested in #status or perceived pos. or neg. consequences of the outcome

- lack background or reasoning ability

No selection for #quality or depth of arguments.

More detractors than contributors.

This is a huge step forward, well done Scotland. Hopefully, the idiots here in England are not able to stop this.

@jonatin @qlp Completely agree with @jonatin We support #selfdiagnosis or #selfidentification as it is also known; an official diagnosis is not necessary to identify with us.

If the #ActuallyAutistic community resonates with you, if it feels like the answer to your questions; then Welcome!

There are many people on the edge, not sure where they fit, do they have the right to join in? Yes, they absolutely do!

No-one will ask you for your diagnosis credentials 💗

Scotland has a crucial parliamentary decision coming up next week to affirm the right of trans people to self-identify instead of being subjected to humiliating tests to 'prove' their transness. #Selfidentification aligns with international #humanrights standards. What happens in Scotland next week pressages events elsewhere yet to equalise gender identity recognition. It's wrong to hold trans people hostage to the collective generalised fear of cis male violence. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/12/un-expert-gender-identity-calls-scottish-parliament-adopt-gender-recognition
