EU states must provide proper ID for transgender citizens
The EU's top court on Thursday said the bloc's countries must provide trans citizens IDs reflecting their "lived gender." The case was referred to the ECJ by Bulgaria, which sought clarity on the issue.

i too love when a thing that makes me feel euphoric and accomplished that i achieved it is considered "unnecessary" to some tumblrite lunatic that demands it to be erased because they are hurt by it
sorry bub, you will not be taking that sweet victory of mine.
sorry that you're too much of a coward who doesn't fight back but i'm built different and said legal gender is, to me, a proof of winning an important battle much like soldiers get medals
do awards need a purpose other than be an award for achieving something? does everything need to be super deep to you in order to be deemed useful? so just because you don't get it, that means no one should be allowed to have it?
that's a mentality of a fucking 5 year old who didn't get their favourite toy and now wants everyone to stop playing with their toys
@m000gletje @eunews To be honest, I never thought of my ID documents as some sort of award. More like, something I need to carry on me to show I'm authorised to drive or to travel between countries.
I do understand that you felt a sense of achievement when you won the right to have the institutional recognition of your true gender. I acknowledge my privilege in that I did not have to fight the same fight you did.
I also don't think that barrier should have been there in the first place. Are you going to resent a future in which nobody has to fight for their true gender to be institutionally recognised, just because they don't have to fight the same way you did?
"if i can't have it, no one will" mentality, again are some of you just stuck in that phase of development or something?
my problem is that this piece of shit community hates people who actually do try their best to transition and win against the government - hell we now start calling people on HRT and post-surgery "transmeds", as if the very core tenet of transness that is physical transition is now Evil
it feels almost targetted to erase people who do actually transition in favor of those who chose not to, and consider them superior and "more inclusive". and i'm not taking that bullshit, i've been erased as a trans man several times by supposedly "my allies and comrades", i will not let them now erase me as a trans person who actually puts in effort to transition, including picking hard battles; because that desire of mine is stronger than bureaucracy
Being trans without medically transitioning isn't something I see rewarded. As someone who was PREVENTED FROM DOING SO BY THE GOP FOR YEARS, it's like living in greyscale at best, and being a human automaton at worst. I don't see what you're talking about. Most of the discourse surrounding that is to keep those people sane enough to not commit suicide, if we're going to be honest with ourselves.
Also, why do you see getting a little piece of paper as a victory. The bureaucracy can suck my balls, saying this as a medically transitioning trans girl who is unable to get bottom surgery because of financial constraints and the bs pulled by the trump admin.
I don't care what the fascist pigs think my gender is. They can suck it
I am "putting effort in" because I have the time and resources to. Not everyone has that. I know girls who need to do DIY. I'm lucky that I don't need to do that.
Its not "erasing you" to say that the oppressive regime of surveillance and medical gatekeeping that tortures trans people should be torn down
While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.
