I just wanted to understand thats all. It's not my system it's a voting system that a lot of people in Australia fought for.
So before fighting for something, finding out what we're fighting for matters most over anything.
Obviously no matter what my chromosomes are when someone looks at my ID they're going to ask questions right?
Maybe the best solution is a choice.
Being able to choose whether or not to display your sex on your ID.
I want my details to come up at the hospital when I check in. I want them to know that I'm female in some aspects but that I respectively go by dominantly male pronouns (unless you're chanting you go girl, because this lady is a diva!)
I want them to know that while I am nursing I bind heavily, that I should be given a pregnancy test before administering narcautics or certain treatments. That a pap may be necessary. But I also want them to know that I am a queer male sexually and that I may have colon problems because of a family history and my own sexual preferences. I want all this on my file because I want to be handled with the best care that can be afforded to me. They need to know I'm on hormone therapy when I'm on my T. They need to know that I'm breastfeeding my baby, like when I was in a coma in 05 and I had three nurses doing shift work pumping my breasts when I was unconscious so I could continue to nurse my daughter when I woke up.( after 2 weeks!)
My mother made sure all that happened for me and I want all this on file, where people who need to see it, can see it. Just like if I was allergic to latex or something I want that right there on my file. These are the people who need to know everything about me, not the guy I buy my porn, smokes and beer from, or the guy that checks me onto a flight at the airport.
So chromosomes aren't an option for many people it seems. M and F are not options for me.
I don't want someone thinking I'm male, because I'm not! I don't have a prostate, I don't have testicles. I don't even want a phalloplasty. But I ain't no lady either so I don't want to confuse people with an F.
I need my paps covered! But I also need to have the two inch monster in my pants given just a little credit, and the fact that I grew up as, look act and sound male (although I'm quite the flamer), yeah a little influence there!
So it's blank for me. I don't think anyone should have a misleading gender marker. If you're not 100% male don't have an M, so on!
