To preference cis people at the expense of trans people in this way is cissexism. It demonstrates just how entrenched this bigotry is within academia and medical professional spheres even within trans people in those fields and I think they should be ashamed of themselves for pushing this on us.

While the ABS guidance suggests caution when inferring sex from sex-at-birth because it can change over one's lifetime, I have never seen a single academic or clinician apply this caution in practice (because the categories are usually interchangeable for them, their subjects, and their patients).

The reason for doing so per the Australian Bureau of Statistics guidance is that split sex/gender categories confuse cis people and they treat the categories as interchangeable (because the categories usually are interchangeable for them).

The new questions for the Australian census next year really aren't any better than the last mess regarding trans people. In fact, they will more effectively erase the lives of trans people. The sex question has been replaced with "sex at birth". I'll explain why this is an issue. 🧵

The US entry is intentionally basic. We don't live there, so we'd like to hear from US-based contributors about what they consider to be major events in domestic trans affairs. Feel free to drop us a DM. We can give you an on-page credit or not.
