”Trans people ‘shouldn’t be able to self-identify’, equalities minister says”

 

The transgender community should have to get medical checks to get their genders formally recognised, the UK’s women and equalities minister insisted https://t.co/6zYxQqOEUC

 As it stands, trans people must have identified with their gender for at least two years, have a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and submit a medical report of any hormone treatment and surgery.

They also have to formally declare they will continue to live under their gender permanently.

Critics calling for a system of self-identification have said the process is expensive, filled with too much red tape and is offensive in classing transgenderism as a mental illness.

これはだいたい妥当なんじゃないかねえ？

公的な性別は個人的な自認だけではなく、公的な医学的認定手続きが必要だ、と。

生まれつきの性別に違和感があり、別性で最低２年くらし、ホルモン療法ないし手術をうけ、今後永久に別性で生活する宣誓書などを提出・・・金がかかるし、お役所仕事的で、トランスを病気のように扱っている点で不快である、という批判もある、と

ただ、基準や手続きは変わっていくだろうと思うけど、公的な性別変更は公的に認定というのは、わるくないんじゃないかねえ？
