Doing research on trans pathologisation, IHRL.
None of these tests have diagnostic significance, and their scientific validity has long been discarded. All they do is cause distress and give gatekeepers something to back arbitrary decisions.
I wondered what was a "good" level of distress: which body parts was I expected to hate? How much?

Thank you @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social for such a cool idea to sketch while listening to the podcast!! (And yes, it seems like I’ll be able to take it out of the sketchbook!)

I know. But there’s nothing legally binding about pronouns. The Court made an active choice to misgender the applicant and not respect their/her dignity. It’s about recognising that a person’s identity exists and deserves respect before legal recognition and while their/her rights are being violated

I’m listening and - wow - they all really do want a medal for most transphobic speaker of the year. The passport stuff they’re throwing around is scary too.

Uh.. is the UK parliament having having a fight about who’s more transphobic?
