"passports and driving licenses should not state if the holder is male or female because it causes 'problems' for transgender people re bbc tele text news now" Why does it cause problems they just have thier info changed. It's an identification document before anything else so it's an important peice of information to help prevent fraud, theft and forgaries | |||

"Whilst I am one of the most liberal and understanding people out there, there has to be a point with identity/security issues where a blank "no" has to be the answer - even if it offends. For example there is a country that banned anything more than a triple barrelled name. Double barrelled are far more popular now, and they were find identity issues where individuals had 4 surnames. They capped it. Is it ridiculous for the individual, yes. Does it cause a nightmare for police trying to track someone who uses a different combo of surnames all the time? Also yes. Whilst a person's gender shouldn't matter, being able to effectively half a suspect pool is a pretty handy thing to be able to do. Governments will never allow us to do something that could potentially give us the upper hand." | |||

"It sounds like someone is trying to create a problem where one doesn't really exist. A vast majority of the population identify as either male or female, so the problems only affect a very tiny percentage of the population." Oh, so they don't matter then- like disabled or black being a tiny percentage.? Take it you are in the large percentage then.lol | |||

Governments will never allow us to do something that could potentially give us the upper hand. Good idea. Fingerprint everyone, keep DNA records for all, make medical records freely available to employers,insurance companies,etc. Tattoo nat insurance numbers on babies from birth. That will help the police- oh no, sorry- they will still be too busy patrolling dogging areas.lol. Be careful what you wish for. 1030's Germany had some great 'national safety' ideas... " | |||

"Oh I think anyone who wants ID documents giving a gender are quite welcome providing I can demand visual proof that it matchs their genitals. Get yer bits out" When you start issuing these documents which anyone cares about, then you can start making such demands Until then, either obtain a passport and select a sex from either male or female or don't apply for one. I don't mind if another category for you is added: Transgender; you can then select that, if you wish | |||

And sometimes I take the flak for doing that; and no, I am not expecting nor would want a medal I don't care about your wardrobe. It is probably much better than mine. But your wardrobe is not the issue here; neither are make-up tips But if that is what transgender is about then I have wasted my f**king time fighting a cause which is just a joke.

"All very well saying pick make or female but for those undergoing gender reassignment they have to live for a year as the person they want to become before any surgery is carried out. So they are in a transition period. I can fully understand why they would not state male or female during this time as they are living as one gender while still the opposite gender. Having just watched The Danish Girl the whole issue can be confusing for everyone around them. Friends and family either accept what is happening or don't as the case may be. 90 years from the first transgender reassignment surgeries attitudes have not changed much. It's time to ensure everyone is represented properly. " If you are in the transition phase living as the opposite sex then that should be the sex you are. | |||

These IDs have photos on, the pic just needs to line up with whoever is using it. People are faking passports right now anyway, not like having gender on stops that." Quite right.

" I will answer your question although it was answered some months ago by someone who was in exactly this situation They can, at whatever point they wish, switch their gender to the one which they feel closely resembles them This facility is available only to those who have been diagnosed with gender issues and who start on a treatment plan At this point, they are 'afforded' all the 'facilities' afforded in their correct gender We have one such person who is a member of our gym. They (and I say 'they' as they are still in the process) use the women's changing room but are respectful enough to use one of the cubicles. And if anyone ever challenges them, I will stand by their side | |||

While there's connotations and expectations to labels i find being labelled damaging. Even more so as they're used to divide us. I don't identify as anything now, never identified as a british national despite being told i am one, although most forms don't require you to fill in any of the above things now in case you don't want to identify as something in particular. | |||

So whether or not gender was on a driving licence you would be one or the other. Thus making it a non issue. | |||

So documents need to contain enough real information that an officer can do a reasonable id check then and there. | |||

But loads of people have blue eyes and you can buy blue contacts also. Thing is how does gender really identify a person? Nobody gets their cock or ovaries out to prove who they are so it seems pointless to identify people in that way. I know IDing people is a huge agenda for governments. They ID us and label us from birth, but not in the most efficient way that could be done at this time. | |||

"Oh I think anyone who wants ID documents giving a gender are quite welcome providing I can demand visual proof that it matchs their genitals. Get yer bits out That wouldn't help me.

My friend would have been, they were born female but identify as a straight male who had a 'thing' for lesbians (hence the strap on and marker pen 5 o'clock shadow.) who had gender reassignment procedures (he didn't but it's how she identifies) to give him a female body which he now uses to have straight sex with. Although of course his girlfriend's think she's a lesbian not a straight man in a woman's body who fancies having lesbian sex. Come again Seriously, there are people out there who are really suffering whilst some idiots are walking around wanting to remove sex from passports etc because their faces are not matching their lingerie Like I said; PC gone madReaqlly suffering? do you know what the suicide rate is for transgender? or even care?? Yes I do, and those are the ones who need help.

" You are correct; and neither should people need to disrobe to prove whether we are male or female. The question is not whether we are male or female but that this identifier further eliminates the potential to impersonate Most passports are forged by using stolen passports and replacing the photograph. All other information, such as name, date of birth, gender remain in place I am certain that some transgender people will have some difficulties at border control for even after they have been recognised in their new and true gender, they may not look so. And I am sorry about that. I truly am. But that does not mean that we start watering down our security even further Lots of people have blue eyes, or in my case, green eyes. Fewer people have green eyes and are 178 cms tall; even fewer people have green eyes, are 178 cms tall and female My stolen passport with the photograph replaced will only be usable by a female with green eyes and who is 178 cms tall. Not a perfect solution but better than no identifiers | |||

Although what you say makes sense in theory, it doesn't work out like that in reality. I do think half of what is done, security wise, is done to reassure us without us knowing all the facts. And we are more self vigilant and this helps too. Can't really say any more than that without looking like a fraudster so i shall shut up now. I'm not a fraudster though, just heard about things idk where i heard them either. | |||

You don't have to attack people in response to feeling attacked. It's sinking to their level and most people, cis, trans, black, white, whatever, will see it as childish. If you make your arguments using comments like "you so ugly girl" and use your "£40 car and two houses" as your evidence then people will notice and comment on it. Evidence is to be scrutinised. That is not an attack. However people will judge you, not for your gender or the way you dress or what anatomy you have in your pants. People judge on behaviour and having a hissy fit in a debate is the behaviour I'm seeing | |||

"This may well be a controversial comment, but how does it change if the question was, 'do you have a Y chromosome?'. Regardless of which gender you identify as, what surgeries and hormones you take, that is something which will not change. Obviously this is only relevant in terms of genetic investigation for criminal justice etc. For day to day purposes I'd use she if they look like a she, he if they look like a he, and if I'm not sure I'd look at a name for a clue. " that's far too sensible | |||

Brown university estimates that one in 1,666 births are of people who are not clear cases of XX and XY. Would post a link coz it's really interesting but it's not youtube or the BBC so can't. | |||

"Bring in common toilets while we're at it.....It is afterall an identity a filter system used for selection. " We have them at my uni and other places. Beats waiting in long lines for female loos. We should fix underlying issues that degrade life for transgender people. Including reliance on passports to denote prison processes etc. | |||

"It sounds like someone is trying to create a problem where one doesn't really exist. A vast majority of the population identify as either male or female, so the problems only affect a very tiny percentage of the population." First world problems and more bull shit. In my lifetime I've witnessed extreme bigotry, prejudice and every type of "ic" and "ism", but fuck me, things are getting ridiculous in this vain quest not to "offend" anyone. | |||

I dont work, I drive a £40 car, own 2 houses- who are you to tell me I've got problems?? (except bigots, an I hate them). Who mare the 'others' you speak so generously for?? 99% agree with you? grow up.Lol I don't give two hoots as to how many cars you drive and how much lingerie you own. You are either male or you are female But if you like, the vast majority can add a category for you; TV/CD/HPV/TS/TG/Transgender Go get a life and whilst you are at it, look around; you will either see men or womenTransphobic remarks again. My you really hate us don't you?? Idiot. No, you hate us. You have a problem and you want to involve all of us in your problem I am quite willing to support those who need support. But I'll be damned if I am going to let some bloke in a dress walk in to the changing room in my gym claiming that he is a laydee; enough is enoughlol is it because the guys don't fancy you?? can put in a good word for you if you like baby, got a few who might be interest. Will whisper in their ears for you.xxxOh sorry- asked around- nobody wants a transphobic bint,it seems..xx" Your aggressive, condescending, nasty approach typifies all that is wrong in this me me world. If I don't get my way: attack!!! Look around: there are two sexes: male and female. If your born male, identify as female then you transcend. I have no qualms (much) at NHS funds being spent helping those that need to "find" themselves live as they want to, but I'll be damned if my life has to be inconvenienced in any way to make it happen. | |||

" You are correct; if that person is born with XX then they remain XX. That is, if they were born with XX Similarly, if born with XY then they remain XY However, if only life were this simple the IOC would not have had to revise its sex determination protocols People are born with an extra X or Y chromosome too and the condition is more widespread than was first estimated in the 1960s (I think) On top of that, a fair number of people have PAIS or in extreme cases CAIS. CAIS has the same effect as a testosterone blocker. However, unlike these drugs which are orally administered, a person with CAIS has all effects of testosterone blockers prior to birth. This results in female characteristics despite the fact that the sexually dimorphic brain structures remain male. The condition is usually diagnosed mid puberty when concerned parents take her to a hospital as menstruation has not started. The usual determination is through x-ray and ultra-sound where instead of ovaries, undecended testicles are detected. The normal course of action is sex change surgery Like I said, if life were so simple we would all be walking around with DNA testing kits and taking swabs of each other The gender marker is changed on the PNC but the previous gender marker is linked to it. If your concern is truly about crime prevention and detection, then sleep easy as these people won't get away merely by changing their sex. This is something I know a lot about; we've got them by the short and curlies | |||

"I don't really know why cisgendered people are worried about it. It wont cost you anything, it wont inconvenience you. In fact if they did it without making an announcement about it I doubt that you would even notice something was different when it came round to renewing your passport or DL. I know I wouldn't. " I am not worried about this at all. I couldn't care less if they removed my gender from my passport. What would be nicer is if the removed my date of birth too as at my age, I need all the help I can get However, there are security implications to be considered and just because Australia did it (a continent which isn't facing the terror threat like Europe is) is no reason that the United Kingdom or Europe should follow blindly In addition, if this is being done to help transgender people then the help is lip-service. How on Earth does it help someone who feels that they are born a sex other than their birth sex. They can already change the sex on their passport without ever coming even within a mile of a surgeon's scalpel. I cannot (and will not) speak on their behalf but am all ears to any valid argument What could happen is a backlash against them from mainstream society who may see this as yet another concession made for a small number of women who, from their point-of-view, like to cut their hair short and challenge blokes to a match of arm-wrestling I think that such 'tweeks' will be better done to detect gender issues earlier and to provide assistance and counselling to those who are facing one of the most difficult issues that life can throw at them. Ofcourse, I am talking about first-world issues here. A transgender person in Syria has bigger fish to fry than a gender marker on their passport or a decision whether to wear proper trousers or just slacks | |||

The money would be better spent actually doing something proactive to prevent future flooding rather than worrying about an 'M' or 'F' on a document that not everyone has and even fewer really care about. | |||

"It seems a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a tiny tiny nut. If the M/F classification on passports is causing problems for a small number of people, is there a way of mitigating those without having to overhaul the whole system for the 99.99% too?" I've done a (very) small bit of digging, so forgive me if my figures aren't 100% accurate. Only 76% of UK citizens hold a valid passport. Of the entire UK population only 0.01% identify as transgender this figure increases to 1-5 if you include crossdressers and those who class themselves as androgynous (bare in mind this only counts known transgender people, the figure would be slightly higher if no one was 'in the closet'). Basically it affects less than 1% of the population. | |||

If the M/F classification on passports is causing problems for a small number of people, is there a way of mitigating those without having to overhaul the whole system for the 99.99% too?" M/F/T (T for Transgender) or M/F/X or M/F/O (X for Unknown or Undecided and O for Other). It can be anything which the majority of the people affected, decide That way, the security needs (such as they are) are met, the majority of the population remains unaffected and those who really need a separate marker are given the choice The tiny percentage of our population who will choose to use T or X or O or whatever else, will not cause much negative impact on the security of the borders Only thing which will need changing is the on-line passport application form which is easy enough to do and costs next to nothing. The passport in itself will remain unchanged and will still conform to the European Standards Just a thought | |||

"How do you decide who is able to choose T, X,O This will be a option open to everyone yeah? Because I may go for O if I think i may avoid detection or be able to avoid attention from an authority. And completely swap and change my appearance and gender when i wish." Anything other than M or F would be self-determination. So, in effect, I could choose F or T but not M Yes, there is that risk but it is a lessor risk to security than if the identifier was removed completely Like I said, it is just a thought. It is upto those who are directly affected to decide as long as their decision does not impact negatively on the remainder on on our collective security | |||

"And travelling to any country that requires visa and/or landing card would also need to change their documents and systems ....." Good point; I hadn't even thought of that; I do not know what the solution is "I see the point you are making. But they can get a gender recognition certificate and legally apply for the documents they wish to be identified as. To start making that flexibility for people whom are in a state of transition between genders. or people whom get upset because someone uses the wrong terminology. Because that individual has been completely consumed by gender dysphoria. Is changing the rules of society to suit an individuals mental condition." Ultimately, the final decision lies with those who are affected. And if there is a way for them to make their lives better without adversely affecting others, then why not. Those who are not affected can only make suggestions, which may not be suitable at all | |||

I identify as a woman who's had gender reassignment procedures to male. Even though i was born with a "male" body. Oh f**k off, you oh my! You're lucky I'm not offended! My friend would have been, they were born female but identify as a straight male who had a 'thing' for lesbians (hence the strap on and marker pen 5 o'clock shadow.) who had gender reassignment procedures (he didn't but it's how she identifies) to give him a female body which he now uses to have straight sex with. Although of course his girlfriend's think she's a lesbian not a straight man in a woman's body who fancies having lesbian sex. Come again Seriously, there are people out there who are really suffering whilst some idiots are walking around wanting to remove sex from passports etc because their faces are not matching their lingerie Like I said; PC gone mad" PC gone mad and a direct result produces those who do not and cannot take responsibility.
