The far-right coalition government is seeking to narrowly define the words “woman” and “man” in order to demonise and discriminate against transgender people.

      Distractions

      These types usually have the real plan of just straling robbing and defrauding and it helps to have lots of distractions lying around. Exhibit a: trump. All he does is distractions from him fucking little girls, distractions from him robbing the US government empty, distractions…

      There is one area where that matters and it’s health care. Men and women’s treatments and care can differ substantially. It’s important to get it right. Gender affirming care/medicine is just a subset of that, for any individual.

      But otherwise yeah it doesn’t matter.

        Biological Sex isn’t changed with gender, and can be considered separately by medical staff.

      Does it have to be necessary?

          Yeah, that’s the point. Why force people to change what it already means if it isn’t necessary?

            Trans people have always existed so your argument would include, not exclude them.
