Working IT I know that feeling

what's your favorite extinct species?

Andrewsuchus is probably one of my second favorites due to their really strange appearance, as well as megaloceros.

I'd say the transition species for dinos to birds

my favorite extinct species is jimacostatus

My wife and I like to refer to birds as dinosaurs

that's because biologically they are

Exactly

Am I a joke to you?

Dinosaurs are classified by the type of hipbone they have. Birds share this type of hipbone, pterosaurs do not.

yes. you are UM

😦

We love ya, UM 😃

I'm gonna go afk for 15

Okay, here's a debate based on Tim's video yesterday. Should someone be required to have their penis/testicles or ovaries/uterus removed in order to change their IDs? I'm actually torn on this. Five years ago I would have said no, but seeing where things have gone I am now edging to yes. Abuse on the left and trolling on the right makes self-identification untenable which is sad but no longer surprising.

@DrYuriMom here's a middle ground, what value is that on an ID?

Get sex off ID entirely?

Oh Blair

Depends, if there is a medial reason, then perhaps it should refer to biological sex, or add something like T(m).

but if not, and its just mainly a looks thing, than remove it

How about anatomical?

I'm listening to Blair but the issue to me is an attempt to define as sex assigned as birth.

what is the point if it is not about medical and simply for looks to verify the id belongs to the person

seriously, why is it on there?

Because it's a quick way to define how someone should look

why is that needed?

Blair is ignoring passports which are not state by state

lets take, for example, a drag king/queen who is fine with their sex.

so why is this quick reference needed when it doesn't really help?

and apparently causes problems

In my opinion, if having your biological sex recognized on legal documents is simply too much for you to handle, then you need to go to therapy.
Gender dysphoria cannot be relieve simply by denying objective reality, you have to accept what reality is and recognize it does not control your existence to really be at peace.
So if seeing your sex on a passport "triggers" you, that's not an issue with the US government, that's an issue with your inability to cope.

But what if personal safety? Being outed a trans when one blends just fine can be a real safety issue. Many trans look perfectly female even on medical exam. But being outed with documents can result in rather bad situations.

You're saying someone is going to physically assault you for being trans?

Not anyone in specific, but just a general portion of the population would assault you if they found out you were trans?

as i said, if it has no real useful purpose because it doesn't necessarily helpful even when dealing with people without dysphoria (for example, an effeminate looking guy that is clean shaven with long hair), then why have it?

the times change. A lot of hair metal rockers could have passed for chicks today. Blue used to be a female color and Pink a male color. What "looks" like male or female changes and plenty of people don't match it. Hell, what is male or female based on looks changes from culture to culture.

so, if it doesn't have a medical use, why have it?
