Correct me if I'm wrong...
but wasn't there a provision in the bill that stated a person could enter a locker/restroom of the opposite sex based on their 'perception' or 'feeling' of which gender they were that day?
Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
just came across your blog from mine and its nice to see that you are comfortable in your intersexuality
ReplyDeleteComfortable with being Intersexed? Not really. Comfortable with being who I am, most certainly. And yes, I'm Intersexed, so I suppose I'm comfortable with that too.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that, as I don't Identify as being Queer. Though I am, technically.
I'm a woman, who is also a rocket scientist, and a parent, and with dual UK/Australian citizenship, and a Geekette, and Intersexed, and with a Transsexual past, and 5 ft 6, and...
It just isn't that big a deal for the way I feel. It's not even that big a deal in the way I'm treated socially - people usually get to know me well before they find out my Dark Secret Past, and then it doesn't matter. The kind of people I tend to mix with, who meet my standards of "this is a nice person I want to be associated with", they tend not to be bigots.
It is a big deal in the way I'm treated in law though.
It's a far bigger deal when I see people just like me get treated even worse. I'm the Nigger who passes for White - but not because I try to, people just assume.
