DoctorSimCraft's Cabinet of Stories

in a relation to the recent situation, i have an announcement:

“How’s your WIP going?”

As you may know the Data Bill is currently going through UK parliament, and Conservative amendment would force agencies to record sex/gender as birth sex only. As if this doesn't go far enough to humiliate and discriminate against trans and intersex people, this amendment would also require all state agencies (DVLA, Passport Office, etc) to revert and purge all sex data that doesn't correspond to sex at birth within 12 months. This would mean that trans people with corrected documents could see these being voided and replaced, leaving them open to being outed, discriminated against, and in many cases, putting their lives at risk. T*rf organisations like S*x Matters have already mobilised and are encouraging their flying monkeys...I mean supporters to email their MPs about this bill. While it is unlikely that it will go through (Nadia Whittome received assurances that it will be voted down by the government), the support it receives has a high chance of encouraging Labour to put a similar amendment through in the future. We need to show that we stand together as a community against this. It's probably safe to say that almost everyone here knows and loves a trans and/or intersex person, or in fact is a trans and/or intersex person. Rights are at risk. We can't just say we love and support our trans siblings, we need to take action. Write to your MP and tell them why this bill is wrong and that trans people MUST be protected and supported.
