OpenStreetMapGovernment data can be wrong. You should be able to fix it.
🏳️⚧️ Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️⚧️
radentscheiderin :ferris:@openstreetmap this is adorable lol
Khleedril@openstreetmap Ummmm... there are limits. The meaning of 'fix' can be different for different people.

It's a simplification and exadurstion for comic effect, and to get a phrase that works for both meanings.

@khleedril personally, I got the Irish government to correct the data they had about me. I have a new birth certificate.

1) This has nothing to do with mapping.
2) Why does the government need to record "gender" (or sex) at all?

Pauli1) It does, because governments produce map data that can't be corrected and OpenStreetMap is a mapping community, that includes trans people.
2) they don't need to, but they do it and they make it really hard (often impossible) to change it (also includes names)
@u1l
Where on maps is gender recorded?
(This is the strongest argument for you that I can think of) Are there monuments of trans people that are under controversy?
Otherwise the connection seems tenuous at best.

@openstreetmap
Ratsnake Games 🔞@openstreetmap a map is one of the few places where i'd rather not have trans people be visible
(just joking, love y'all)
Webber-e-bop@ratsnakegames @openstreetmap how else will they find the country with this flag 🏳️⚧️ that all the pretty people come from?
@ratsnakegames it's actually really complicated, and a good question.
When is visibility good, and when is it bad?
There's no one size fits all situated. I'm pretty visible, mostly by choice. But no-one else has to be if they don't want to.
