  • Other "Legally speaking you don't have to have had surgery. But realistically speaking, as you have to send off a mountain of evidence that you are the gender you say you are. There is no way that the weird panel of cis people you never meet will issue a Gender recognition certificate to anyone that hasn't had surgery."
  • Status is not correct "You can say whatever you are, doesn't make it correct. feelings are in consideration when dealing with facts of biology. social constructs aren't real and just an excuse"
