Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth. Write letters, complain to staff, refuse to answer. Make it impossible to collect sex assigned at birth. Be really offended that anyone would ask you. Make enough noise that if trans people want to quietly not answer or give whatever answer feels correct to them, no one will notice.

@Willow... and if you don't feel quite ready to do this yet, warm up to it by noticing how often you're asked your sex assigned at birth, and how seldom it is relevant. Seriously. Think about it. Then start making a noise. "why do you need to know!?"

@Zumbador @Willow It's only relevant in certain medical contexts where the anatomy and hormone balance involved is actually necessary data, yes? Surgeries, medications that might interact with those systems, etc?

@x0 @Zumbador @Willow and in these very specific cases, they should ask about anatomy/organs instead, bc for example not all cis women have uterus/ovaries.

@alecska @Zumbador @Willow Yep. Or in the case of things involving hormones that need to be supplement or controlled in some manner, HRT whether it's trans or not, I guess their own panels tell them what they need to know.
