As of November 2022, gender self-identification, where no judge or medical expert are involved, is part of the law in 18 countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Switzerland and Uruguay.
Here’s the latest outrage, from Brazil.
Here’s a video I did about it. Sorry about the bumpy microphone.
But I’d appreciate it if people could send me examples of Self ID being abused in all 18 countries for a more complete piece. For instance, there’s the nightmare women in Ireland are now facing, whether they know it or not. Then there’s the recent story from Iceland. Send me whatever you got, even if it’s from this site!
Thank you Graham. These are very hard posts to read and watch. I am afraid as they intend and will consider avoiding those countries. I am afraid about what Scots gender self-ID is about to bring to the rest of the UK. I hate what they have introduced to Ireland and all countries this has infiltrated. And I'm fucking furious too and about all of it.
Women in my family have talked and known of the urinary leash all my life, so maybe that makes us, me and my generation Suffragettes too. I know women engineers who had to fight to get access to loos as men just peed wherever on sites. People and our needs are still not 'designed in' to our environments. And women are still viewed as offshoots and odd, weak versions of the default human being and form - men.
Defrock 'trans women'. It's time.
Defrock: to remove from a position of honour or privilege.
